*looks at all the snow coming down outside*

Well. It's properly winter now. Humph.

At least at the new place I have a lot less to shovel out. I'm intensely grateful for that. Meanwhile, here's another Brief List of Unrelated Things...

-I've been knitting my fingers off, making things for other people. Though last night I finished some kind of handspun-freestyle huge cowl-thing, just for fun. Now I have enough time this week to finish a fluffy thing for another pal, who doesn't know it's coming. Heh heh hehhhh...

-I have egg nog in my coffee. Awesome.

-Oddly enough, I'm mostly done with all my gift-buying; just a little fine-tuning now. And this year, the shopping is *much* less stressful, for a variety of reasons.

-Even though the Wee Orca has a huge winter coat on, I've been placing a nice hot-water bottle in his hutch, for a little extra warmth. I'm not sure how he feels about it yet, but I have no doubt he'll be snuggling it by the end of the week. He also has this new game now, where he tries to herd Matt's kitties into the hallway and down the stairs. Then when they flee in consternation, he does a victory lap around my ankles, kicking his heels up. Heh. Rabbits are so good.

-My work at the Mines is well...work. I've been getting through okay, though I've been worried about a coworker friend. And my patience vaccilates wildly with some of my other cow-irkers. They can get irksome. VERY irksome. *shudder*

-Soon I'm taking some time off, just to appreciate things properly. I'll be in the house, making fluffy stuff and drinking cocoa and such. It'll be so good...


So, there you are...
