vacation plan...

I will be working 2.5 days between now and January 7th. I don't think it will use up ALL of my excess vacation -- but it will be a good attempt on it. (This does, though, require a bit of non-official juggling. Yay for a cooperative boss.)

Life is good!

Work travel is over for a while.
I am taking 3 solid weeks off over Christmas. Plus most of next week. Plus tomorrow.
I continue to have wonderful friends in my life.
I have a love-life again. A surprisingly, and happily, full one. (Especially as compared to the last couple years.)
I am healthy.
I am climbing and dancing.
I have a ballroom dance partner.
I have lots of exciting party plans over the holidays.
I get to see my nieces for Christmas!
I have time to shop, without a rush, now.
