I got home, there were lights on the outside of the house, and on the tree. W asked me to get the decorations in from the garage. So, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I have noticed that since S19 has been home the tension level in the house has gone up a lot. He will not put up with W's control, and it seems to me that she takes it out on everyone else. It's probably good that he pushes back, but it is hard on everyone else!

The meeting today was brutal, and we get to do it again tomorrow. But, if we get a positive result (actually, just not negative, at this point) our management will be happy. And that has to be a good thing. After that, the rest of the year will be winding down. Just four more days of "work" and probably not a lot of that.
