What's that? Good news??

I realized that what I really need right now is to be near Alexander. Every day work seems to sap more of my life and brain away and at night it's too damn quiet and boring here. I was about to call it quits this morning after a particularly heinous conference call when I just decided to call Alex and tell him that come hell or high water we are going to get him here at Christmas. He agreed! And that one simple act made the rest of my hellish day completely bearable. So all I have to say is "C'mon Christmas!!"

I've been coming home after 12 hour days feeling like a shell for the past month or so. Today I tried to take a little nap after work but the cats decided tromping all over me chasing one another was the thing to do. I couldn't be mad at them. I've felt like tromping all over someone for a long time...with boots on. So I let them have their fun and, in a way, I envied them their shear joy.
