Happy New Year!
I hope all are having as happy a new year as I - and might I add, it is quite a happy one considering I have the day off. This fact, of course, is all one needs to make it a happy day.

Christmas came and went with all the excitement equivalent to stepping in a large pile of freshly-laid dog poop, and still, I have this damned tree to disassemble.

Ex-hubby and ex-mother-in-law came to visit and stayed with me (yes, with me) and while I enjoy her company, his is somewhat of a mixed-feeling-thing. He drove her back home a couple of days after Christmas, but he remains - like skunk-stinch. (Staying at someone elses place, however.)

And here I sit looking at this amazingly large pile of laundry and the completely assembled Christmas tree trying to decide what else I could possibly find to do today.
