Hi guys- just a quick check-in. It’s the Saturday before Thanksgiving here in the US, so that means I’ll be participating in The Great Los Angeles Walk in about 2 hours. This year it’s from One Wilshire to the ocean in Santa Monica, about 16 miles (finally got a more accurate number!). I’ll be working from home Monday in case I’m really feeling the aftereffects. Looking forward to this.

It’s still a challenging time. My friend’s cancer hasn’t miraculously gone away, but I’m spending as much time with her as I can fit into our schedules. If you know me IRL, there’s a 95% chance you have met her at least once as we’ve been friends for about 23 years. We’ve been friends through marriages, divorces, breakups with boyfriends, new jobs, etc. 

Work is still the same, but I’m trying to keep positive. I’ve had meetings with 4 people above me to try and extricate me from working with the over 80 man and I’m hopeful that will happen in Q1 next year. Meanwhile, I’ve put up a Christmas tree in my bedroom and the new one in the living room. Yes, it’s early, but the lights are pretty. I’ll most likely decorate them next weekend.

Well, time to get ready to leave. If you see me in Santa Monica later, say hello. I’ll be the one in black (shocking!), barely able to walk, lol.
