I feel like the first week of January came in and smacked me across the face as a warning to get my shit together. Because I kind of feel at loose ends and the feeling just gets worse when I try to figure out when I'll have a moment to myself to get a few things in order. I'm trying really hard to get as much done as possible at work today (probably even staying late) so that I do not have to come in on Saturday. And this has been my week. This is why I've been scarce with the internet and the comments and the updated status reports. I'm really sorry about that guys. I've made tiny glances your way. I'm still interested in what's going on with you. Really. I promise. And if I work really hard today, maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to catch up with what's going on in the world this weekend. Today, I am thankful that, if need be, I can stay late today to finish up all my work with out worrying about Saturday or the week to come.

I am thankful that I have a very understanding husband, who despite not so pleasant minor surgery this week, has been very helpful. And this is about all I have time for today. Peace to all and happy thankful Friday.
