December weekend
We have been flat out all of November and December isn’t looking much better. James has been ridiculously bogged down at work and was handed a side project he couldn’t say no to ($500 right before the holidays? who can pass that up?).
So while he worked all weekend, I cleaned all weekend. With the craziness of NaNoWriMo behind me, I went a little nuts, doing all the things that have been on my nerves since Nov. 1.
I put away all the detrius of our Thanksgiving travel then cleaned just about the whole house. Then I got out the Christmas decorations and had fun with that. I’ll have to take another pic of the mantel.
I also made ginger snaps for James, since he was working so hard. And cute candy train ornaments with the youth group (I broke mine, and then our pastor broke it again, so I don’t have one to show off; they’re supposed to go to the people at the nursing homes we carol at, anyway). It was not a very relaxing weekend, but I was happy to get as much done as I did.
This week I look forward to writing more on this novel and figuring out the ending. James is still sloshing his way through his projects.
Shaffin at the Wake Robin wants to sit down and discuss stuff over drinks. I’m thinking we might be able to do that next week; sounds like fun. We owe another big payment before the end of the month. It’s sitting in our money market account, but I’m loathe to part with it. I love watching it earn interest. We’ll be below the minimum balance for good interest once we make the payment.
No news on the car yet, though I did talk to the adjustor this morning. He was supposed to make it out to Sharon Auto Body today to check it out. Hope it’s fixable. I can’t imagine having to get a new car now. It would not be pretty.
