Been A While....

....since I've been able to write.  Lots o'work, not a lot of time for much else.  No complaints...although I will admit that being on vacation was better than this pile o'work that's been keeping me busy.  Ah, well, somebody's gotta pay the rent and keep Rusty fed! (Speaking of Mr. Rusty, because of this cold snap we've been having, I broke out the heating blankie for him.  Lordy lord, but he's in cat heaven :-)

I missed a mini family reunion last weekend because of work.  Sometimes it's so incredibly hard to make the right choices and I hate to choose work over family, except I've been out of town so much that I couldn't possibly figure out a way to make it to the reunion and pay my bills.  Those are the kinds of decisions that keep me up at night.  I got some wonderful pictures from my sibs from the visit, but still....my heart aches to have missed seeing everyone.

On a completely different note:  DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!!!!!!

Okay, back to work for me.  Hope you're having the most beautiful day ever!

Rusty's happy place -- his heating blankie, turned to low :-)
