Still Enjoying Home

Lest you think I've sunk into a warm cozy couch, or gotten lost in a mall somewhere, or am sitting in an eggnog latte induced coma somewhere... let me assure you, I am alive and well :)  What an amazing thing it is to have electricity all the time.  I sewed a skirt yesterday, and was able to finish the entire thing in one sitting, because I had electricity and clean surfaces on which to work.  It was a bit of an adventure in craftiness, as I have never sewn in a zipper or darts.  I'm also in the midst of knitting a dish cloth.  How domestic of me, eh?

Tomorrow, I shall be enjoying some snow in the great outdoors with my dad.  We're taking our snow shoes and heading for the hills for the day.  I hope I don't freeze, but I'm sure it will be lovely up there.

I've also been slowly but surely chipping away at all the work emails and stuff that I still have to do.  I'm afraid I'm about a week behind my little self-imposed "schedule" of what I wanted to get done... but, well, malesh, it will all get done eventually... I hope.

So, stay tuned tomorrow for some winter-wonderland photos.  That is, of course, if the world doesn't end tomorrow.  Did those Mayans just run out of clay, or were they on to something... only time will tell :)

Have I Told You Lately...

... How much I love home?  East or West, home is best.  Hot water comes out of the taps.  Traffic follows rules.  I can talk to anyone and everyone in any shop, gas station or cafe I go to.  I know what is going on *most* of the time.  It's really struck me coming home this time how much I like home, and how wonderful it is to be surrounded by *my* people, enjoying things that are familiar.  And not sweating through it all.  Sigh.  I'm in my honeymoon period of being at home, and really, really enjoying being at home, and really, really glad that I don't have to go back to Jbs yet.

Mmmm....

... Cheerios.  And that's all I have to say about that.  Because my battery is about to die, and I didn't bring my power cord into my office... er, I mean, my local Starbucks.  So I guess it's time to go home and plug in, before my midnight skype meeting into my normal office back "home". 

Maybe scheduling a meeting for 9am their time wasn't the wisest thing on the planet to do... hopefully I will be able to stay awake through the meeting :)  Good thing I've been fuelled by a bit of Starbucks...
