Almost December

I was in ohio with the family from Tuesday through Sunday. Phew. It was fun---lots happening with the eldridge and the eldridge offspring---my favorite quote of the week---I was playing touch football with Kitty and her boys, and apparently, you can't through forward if you've received the football, and your nephews will call a flag on the play. So Simon, the youngest, took a look at the play, took a look at the t-shirt I was wearing, and yelled "Flag on....flag on....St. Patrick". It just killed me.

Other highlights---Geo Caching in Cascade was amazing. We only found 1 of 3, but it was very rewarding.

Cutting down a christmas tree with the recently expanded Eldridge, Mark family and hanging out with the baby twins. THey are super-chill and sweet. Mom and dad are doing a great job.

And of course, hanging with my parents. My plans fell through for Saturday night, so we played scrabble and hearts and had a fire. It was a delight.

And my favorite? Coming HOME to a decorated for Christmas house!

I also made an appointment for a procedure that I'm having on Dec 23. It's medically necessary by some definitions, elective by others but for me, a long time coming. Going from H to C/D and very excited.

Back in the routine today---boot camp in the am, and then writing with Abby.

And, then--exciting Monday activities such as LAUNDRY! WW meeting! Defrosting soup! And then, tomorrow, back to work and job that I'm very grateful for and eager to get back to.

Happy Thanksgiving!
