We had Souper Bowl Sunday!
Dr. M did an amazing job as always. He wore his UC shirt in honor of Taylor’s
boyfriend. I was in bed before the end of the game (it went into OT), but when
Dr. M started getting excited I came out to watch the replay of the end.

busy and there was far too much peopling (which I know can happen in a Human Resources
department, but still…). I stayed up later than I should have almost every
night. And on top of that it’s only February & I am already (still? Ever &

We had a baptism (plus
someone else joined the church). I had an excellent waffle at my dad’s house. I

temps, we here in the foothills of NC have had relatively milder weather. Not
milder by our standards, but it hardly bears mentioning to anyone outside of
the state. Of course that won’t stop me from mentioning it. After all, my
cousin told me that she saw about 4 flakes of snow one day!Sunday, January 14th

He is all of us, I think. He didn't try to wrap it up in a bow like I usually do (leaving my poems looking all awkward like they're wearing a smiling mask that doesn't fit).

to see my family, eat, & then spend two (or three if I’m extra slack like
this year) glorious days doing diddly and squat. I mean, I did do laundry &
some cleaning, but mostly I sat on my butt and read, crocheted, and played on
my iPad. Happy sigh. Sunday, November 19th
