After a day of yard work, and a nice night out (dinner & movie), and a new church today, plus an upbeat email from J1.. it's an improvement for D from Friday's disappointment. Dinner tonight didn't hurt either.. an improvised sauce for the tilapia fillets (olive oil, lime juice, garlic, ginger, whisked together and pan-fried.. mmm, nice.) :)
J1 is doing really well in the new job in California, happy to be there, gets on well with her bosses. And, she'll be able to get away for Christmas and spend a few days here. Didn't know if she'd be able to, but she can. :) That, plus J2 spending 2 of his 4 weeks off at home over the holidays, and.. we'll have a family Christmas Eve again. Fun! And.. D had a great idea.. J1 (who is really good in the kitchen) and I will cook the Christmas dinner! Yeah! That should be a blast.
Church was good this morning.. a smaller group (150+), meeting in a school. Very friendly, feels quite familiar and comfortable. We'll go back next week and see if it carries forward.
Finished up my first paper today in TS501, finally unpacked all my books into the new bookshelves the company provided me, found a great chair on sale at Penney's that pulls out into a twin bed (for J2 when he's here), the Packers won again (7-1 now!)..
All that, plus a few other little personal positives I know of.. leave hopefulness in the air. :) It's a little early to say there's joy close by, but.. D says I have seemed happier this week. Hm. Maybe. :)
