Yes, back to reality tomorrow. Though I've been away from the cube farm since December 21st I did manage to drag some work (and my cold) home from the office that would amount to ten hours. That aside the extended family gatherings over the weekend before Christmas and our own stay at home on the holiday were great. A fine turnout of nieces and nephews at my mother's on the Saturday mid-day/afternoon, then Sunday at our place we hosted Carol's sisters and their families for brunch and gift exchanging. As usual plenty of good eats and time to catchup on each others activities. The story for the remainder of the week was a couple of moderate sized snowstorms Thursday then Saturday into Sunday. I was out and abouts during Thursday's storm. Our nephew Johnny and his girlfriend Kyla are up from Texas visiting family so I took them visit with Ian and Ali in Portsmouth. I picked them up at Lois', snow swirling all over, roads covered, plow trucks, turnpike speed down to 45 mph but as we approached Portsmouth we encountered sleet and then in Portsmouth it's just wind and rain. At home, still snowing. So a couple of days for snow cleanup, a quiet Friday in between, Football on TV Sunday, made it to the gym yesterday. A couple of Netflix shows last night with a bottle of wine got us to midnight so we switched over to watch the crystal ball drop at Times Square. I think we've hit the sack early the last couple of New Year's eve so that worked out well. Today we took down the Christmas decorations and tree, now it's all college bowl games. I guess I'm as ready as I can be to get back to work, at least my cold is gone.
Happy New Year!
