Buon Natale! I haven’t been around much. Things have been very hectic, but at least I’m able to walk and drive the last two weeks, which has been a big help. I’ve gotten to be pretty active in the message boards for our conversation group, so that is where I am spending a lot of my time.
H and I have also had a lot of social commitments come out of the group, which has been good for us. Last weekend we had dinner with some friends. The next day one of them dropped by to deliver something we had left at their house. Ironically, she stopped in as I was leaving with my SIL. My ILs think H and I are plugged into a vast social circuit. This is not true, but compared to them (who do not socialize or invite people over) H and I are the life of the party.
Of course they do invite us over, and that is where we are going for Christmas. They have been invited to my sister’s (the other one who hosts family get togethers) for Christmas eve, which makes me glad. They get along very well with my family… regardless of whatever ill-will my brother was recently trying to spread.
H is a little down about money and job hunting right now. I am confident that he’ll do well with his job hunt. Things are going pretty smoothly between the two of us. I’ll admit to having been a little lazy around the house again, but this past week I had a talk with H about the time he insists on having dinner… too early for me to get anything done. He’s grousing about eating later, which is silly because it’s the same time we used to eat before he moved home. Oh well, if this is the worst of our problems then we can’t be doing too bad.
Have a happy holiday everyone. Take care of yourselves. --z
