A Long Week

Sunday afternoon The Husband left for the office in CA.  This is the last trip he'll make into the office for this company, his last day for them will be next Friday.  How grateful we are that this time the choice was his, that someone reached out with an offer of a job with a company that we are counting on to have a better work environment.

His flight home last night was delayed by 2 1/2 hours.  He finally parked in the garage about 1:30 or so, we tried to be asleep by 2.  By that time, I'd had a little nap and was wide awake. Consequently, the night held little sleep for me.

But, my bestest is home again.  My heart doesn't feel so torn. 

I stayed home most of the week, so yesterday morning/afternoon encompassed quite a few errands. I've completed a lot of Christmas shopping, though we tend to spend a bit less with each passing year.  Our loved ones all have so much, they don't really need anything we could give.  The stumper is The Husband.  What do you gift someone who is totally content? I'm fresh out of ideas.

Very Interesting.

I've only a couple more people to find something for.  I hope they all are at least a bit pleased with what we gift.

While I was out I ran across this display of mens suits.  Yes, suits.  Complete with matching ties. I just stood in astonishment at this sight.  And no, I didn't buy any.

Today I'm so grateful for the return of The Husband. I'm a much better "me" when he's around.  I'm grateful for down comforters.  For the financial ability to acquire a few things to gift for Christmas.  For a fun evening to look forward tonight. For sweet sisters who generously donate meals to others in our midst who are in need. I'm grateful for a couple friends to go out with.  For working furnaces (when the temps are down in the teens overnight), for music in my life, for something good to read and for a new job with good insurance in our future.
