Monday, December 19, 2022 We crept to Orchestra Hall tonight on the slippery, snowy roads. There seem to be too many slippery, snowy roads lately.

Saturday, December 17, 2022 Yesterday, I got an update on my job. You will recall that I started off the year working half time – subbing for a friend on the days that chemo knocked her out. Those days became more frequent, and I added days to more than half time, until the start of

Monday, December 12, 2022 It’s not the 12th day of Christmas, but it is the 12th day of December – and my true love gave to me an estate planning class through community ed. It was so much fun. I bet you are not believing me and think that was sarcasm, but it wasn’t at

Sunday, December 11. 2022 Two parties on two consecutive nights is terrific! I slept in reallllly late (9:30) (9:30!!) (We went to bed at 1:??, so that was a solid sleep). I spent half an hour on my phone, wasting time, then suddenly remembered we were having another party and I needed to bake a

Saturday, December 10, 2022 Today was my favorite part of the December – our Christmas party with the guys (originally Benjin’s friends, now our friends) and their families.
