I hope you all have had a happy holiday - whatever holiday you might celebrate around this time of year. I spent the week before Christmas with my mom in Oregon - poor Mom had a stomach virus - but it was still lovely to be with her. I'd visited with my grandparents a week before, so I got a little bit of family fix. One silver lining to my mom being sick is that I got to cuddle up near her and write a bunch of holiday cards. It's been years since I actually got cards written, so it was lovely to do them. I had to send a number of electronic cards for people for whom I don't have a physical address, and I also sent out a bunch of email to get some addresses, which resulted in quite a lot of nice email catching up.

My holidays were quiet. Of course, not quite quiet enough for the evil downstairs neighbor. Can you believe she actually called to threaten to call the police on Christmas morning? We had some friends and their 2 1/2 year old daughter over for brunch and presents. Sheesh. So, I'm going house-hunting tomorrow. I suspect I may make a quick decision. I need to not live here anymore.

The vacation has sped by. I was supposed to spend today grading midterms, but instead I spent a gloriously lazy day, cleaning out my email, reading some books, and wallowing in being alone. It's funny, I know I'm an extrovert in that I get much energy from being with people, but even I need my solitude once in a while. Today was that day. Philip was off helping a friend move and it was a sunny, cool day. I spent some time in bed reading, then made myself hot cocoa and leftover frittata for brunch, and that's about all. Ahhhhhhh.
