Well, when last I wrote we were planning on going to SD for Thanksgiving. We did not do this. Things are so bad with the virus and SD is one of the worst states at that time. Things are even worse now due to people getting together for the holiday. Mom and I were sad but its way safer.

We had a very quiet thankgsgiving at home. I only made 3 pies and I delivered food to Ari so she had good noms. We did a nice turkey and some salmon. Green beans, grilled sweet potatoes, sweet rolls, and the best stuffing I've ever made. Seriously. We used herbed bread mel had made as the croutons. It was so good.

On the craft front I've had a bit of enuii but I did manage to get my shift done. I still have my underdress to finish..its together but I need to sit and pleat it. The hand finishing has been triggering my tendonitis and I've not beem feeling great overall. The weather change gets to my sinuses badly.

Work has been...special. I've had to give large presentations for a new proposal to my new director who is back east due to the merger. Its been a big learning experience and frightening as well. Talking casually about millions of dollars just freaks me the eff out. But its going okay. I have 8 working days left in the year. Ugh. But I've made some progress on some career goals for a cert I've been working too.

The girls turned 2 over Thanksgiving and that is so surprising. It doesn't seem like we've had them a bit over a year and a half but they are.. they are enjoying having the weather cooler. We did get the furnace fixed and that has been nice. The house is now reasonable. My studio is still too chilly but I have a space heater.

The boys got the xmas lego train up and have been putting up a lego xmas building kit from last year. It takes up the entire piano and that is okay.

I felt very pretty for my big presentation and tried out new lipstick:
