Yesterday Alison and Dick went to the doctor and dentist in Palo Alto. I stayed and worked for June. Nails done, ornaments put on the top of the tree, heater/ac repaired. They had dinner with Christine and Alex at the Green Elephant. They also saw Matt Goldman. Did not get home until 11pm. Got updated by Dick in the middle of the night. He is taking on water again and needs to watch his salt intake. I am hoping 2015 will be a better year for me career wise. To take advantage of an improving economy. Maybe insurance, maybe PM. Maybe something else. Hopefully telecommuting. Want to go to Bay Area once a month at least. Volunteering at SCLH keeps me engaged. Get more involved at Church with Dick. Keep working for June until I get something else. Quit worrying about Alison. She certainly has a path and a network and the intelligence to follow her path productively if she chooses to do so. We have raised her and given her the tools to be successful if she wants to be.
I have done something different, put on PJs instead of black cover up.
Ginger Joy is curled up on my lap purring and snoozing behind Millie, also snoozing, so warm and cozy it it 6:42am. Norah is sleeping with Aly. Billie? Not in his usual spot. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at Mom's on Christmas Day.
Today or tomorrow, I may bake Grama's nut bread, pumpkin pie and cookies, maybe. Tomorrow is the pagent at Church. Make the most of the season, all seasons. Try not to let others influence my mood so much, especially Aly and Dick. Do my own thing.
