tree time!

it's pretty early to do this kind of thing
but if i wait any longer there will be little time to enjoy.
so today my housemate and i put up our very own tree
and decorated with lights and balls and glittery things.
we may even do a string of popcorn,
if we can find some without butter that is...

I just had a visitor. It was brief, but I'll take dinner with my brother anytime. :)

Meanwhile, in between time with friends, the rest of life remains a bit of a challenge; not horrible but if there was a way to truly escape I'd be all for it. Instead, there is little to do but face it head on or find a big hole to hide in. I'm still debating. No details, sorry.

On the lighter side, my nephew Tate's fascination with puzzles has rubbed off on me; my roommate and I just completed a 500 piece puzzle. It has butterflies & hummingbirds. :)
