Good Things:

1) Just planted 2 lbs of bulbs - tulips, daffodils, crocus, and hyacinth-somethings. The first two in a trench, the others in pots. It's an experiment to see if the gophers eat them all. I used to love gardening. Then we bought this house (8 years ago in January) and everything I loved died due to sand, heat, gophers, and deer. Finally, I am trying again.

2) Did I mentioned I finally got a PT job? I was afraid to say anyhting at first in case I hated it, but it's working out ok. Money = good.

3) Weight loss = very slow (3 lbs/month) but at least I'm not gaining. And I'm actually looking forward to doing my belly dance dvds, since I re-found them last week.

4) The new routine is difficult, but I think once I finally adjust, it will be good. Having to be dressed and interact with people on a regular basis means I can't fiddle around and procrastinate.

4a) In the last two weeks, I've finished another two chapters on the novel. Ten down, twenty-six to go! My goal is one per week, minimum. And yes, this is the Jensen-graduate-student story.

5) Never underestimate the joy of being able to breathe through both nostrils. I don't think I've ever had a cold that was that bad for six days in a row. Blech.

6) It's soup season! And flannel sheets! And cuddling with the boy and beast! Yay!

7) Why yes, I *am* feeling a bit Pollyannaish. Life is good. :)

Good luck with 1, 2 and 3 and congrats on the job!

Yep, that works for me, too.

And yay for you writing, I can't wait. :D

*hugs* I hope life continues to be good for you. ♥

*smooch* And how are you doing? I'm going to miss you and your fmaily over the holidays. Maybe you should come here instead. ;)

I am okay. Off work this week and trying to catch up on things. It makes me happy being here with you guys, so I'm going to try and not let it slide *again*. We're going to miss you too this Christmas. If I had the money, I'd be on your doorstep. ;) *hugs*
