Wow, we're nearing the end of the year already!

Things have been busy, in a good way though. I'm forcing myself to keep busy!

Thanksgiving was okay. I went down to Orange County but got home early (work the next day). My boss was cool again this year and gave me a ham (instead of a turkey like everyone else). I love ham, but turkey, not so much. It's nice he remembers that stuff.

I bit the bullet and bought a 7-foot pre-lit Christmas tree a couple of weeks ago. It's going to be the first time I've had a tree this big in my place. I want to set it up this weekend (even though the weather is supposed to be in the 80's), the trick will be finding a good place for it. I wonder if Gotham is going to try and climb it?

My Christmas "To Do" list is still as long as ever! Hopefully, I'll get a chunk of it taken care of this weekend. I need to form a game plan though.....

Our work Christmas party is next week, I still don't know what to wear or how long I'm going to stay. I carpool in each day, so that complicates things. My friend may want to stay longer than I do. I guess she can catch the train if I decide to bail early. That's what we do with our normal days. I pick her up each morning at the train station (they have free parking) and drop her off there in the afternoon, unless one of us has to leave early, then she takes the train home. Hey, it works for us.

It really doesn't feel like the holidays yet.

There are some crazy fires out there right now. If you live in their vicinity, let me know you're okay.
