Thanks, SS. I'm still feeling pretty deflated for now. I can recognize what does or doesn't work even if I don't always abide by it, but then it seems like so does H and he puts up some more bricks. Maybe this renewed interest he has in hunting will bring back some of who he used to be, take him back to nature. And skiing should start within the next month once the temps stay down and they can keep snow on the hills. I think it's been at least 3 seasons since I skied, so there should be plenty of refresher for H to help me with! After the meal on Thanksgiving my family set a date for our annual cookie baking day, we all get together and make a whole pile of cookies. Been doing it the for over 20 years, maybe more than that. I'm pretty sure H got his cell phone out and put it in his reminders.
Today I get to go help make meatballs for an annual Christmas party that comes up in a few weeks, and then a football game party. Not to exciting, but I think it still qualifies as GAL.
