More normal

My life is returning to normal and I am feeling so much better.  I actually goofed off a little at work this afternoon, which I haven't done in ages.  Apparently, the occasional levity is important to a person's mental health.

I've done some prep work towards having the kids here for an early Thanksgiving on Sunday.  My cranberry bread is in the oven, and other make-ahead stuff is prepared and either frozen or sealed.  Tonight I have bookwork to do.  I wish it was already done but it will feel so good when it is.  Next week I will work two days and then be off for five.  I don't have a really full holiday schedule so it will feel almost like a vacation.

Kids start arriving tomorrow and everyone will be here on Sunday.  Lots of food and fun.

My eyes are trying to close as I type here.  I think maybe a quick nap before I go up to the office is in order.  Take five!
