Good Lord! If anyone is still reading this garbage of a blog I promise I haven't abandoned it. I just got really busy with Christmas shopping and decorating and then I came down with this nasty cold - my first since 2003. I forgot what it was like to have a cold and it stopped me in my tracks. Today, although I blew my sore tired nose all day and sneezed quite a lot, was the first day I have felt normal since last Thursday.

Lots of stuff is going on at work with the "restucturing" and all. I can only say (and I say this knowing I could well be the next to go) that what goes around comes around. Eventually. There are a lot of people in my department dancing for joy this week. And in case anyone at corporate is reading I won't say more - but it looks like our department might be on a good track now. We'll see.

Outside lights are up, mantles are decorated, tree is up, lights are on tree. I keep trying to put the final few decorations on and I swear this time tomorrow it will be done and I'll have a photo before Phoebe takes them off. Honestly I think I stopped the other night because she was taking them off as fast as I could hang them! Ah well, Christmas is for kittens too and if she has fun it's worth it!

Will check in again before the end of the week with pics . . .
