I haven't been blogging much because I have been doing a lot of stuff in the "real world"   Holiday stuff has really kept me busy.  Mind you, I am aware it is self imposed busy-ness.  I feel very satisfied after a productive weekend.

I got a good start on my holiday baking, decorating, wrapping and even got caught up on laundry (laundry is never finished but can be caught up to a managable rate).  I slept in, got bills paid, helped the boys make presents for their teachers, and made a gift for someone myself (can't say what or for whom since they might read this).  I actually feel optimistic now that I can pull off the holiday plans I had been hoping to pull off.

I should have our holiday letters in the mail tomorrow and have the house in decent shape for holiday guests.  It is all good from here.  Sure, I have a bit more shopping and wrapping to do and there will be a lot more cooking of course.  I look forward to those things though.  Now all I really have to do is pray everyone stays healthy for the next couple of weeks.

Best wishes.
