It's been a pretty week overall, in the high 60s mostly.
On Monday I went to the PO to mail some packages. There was an envelope from the second grade class I volunteered with, containing notes from the kids. Awww.
I used up the leftover cranberry sauce from our turkey dinners by making my favorite cranberry jello fruit salad. I gave a quarter of it to a friend of ours who had commented how tasty it is.
The Company held a "white elephant gift exchange". They did it as one of those where you can choose to keep what you picked or trade with someone else. (Hint: Don't get attached to anything). I got stuck with a box of incense sticks. I was mentioning it to everyone I saw afterwards ("do you know anyone who burns incense?"). I found someone who did and I now have a very happy co-worker. I'm happy too.
Actually, I got what I wanted, which was the gift bag for another gift. The person who grabbed that one didn't want the bag so I snagged it. It's got a cute snowman on it.
The woman who ended up with the gift I brought is very happy with it (she traded the gift she "won" for "mine"). It's a small "aquarium" with two plastic fish that swim around and look quite real. She said she wishes she could have real fsh in her cube but is afraid they'd die. So she has fish and we're both happy.
Saturday was Squirrel's birthday. He received cards ad letters from netfriends.
Rich headed up to the North Bay to visit our friends up there for an overnight.
I spent part of Saturday evening and part of Sunday morning logged in over the net trying to fix our North Bay friends' computer. The permissions had gotten badly discombobulated and many strange behaviours were being seen. I do hope all is solved now. This is why I don't do Technical Support for a living.
I finished Bound for Murder, by Laura Childs;
Charlie All Night, by Jennifer Cruisie (I feel like I know the people in her books);
and Anything Goes, Jill Churchill.
The latter is first in a series of cozy mysteries set in the early 30's in New York's Hudson Valley. Quite fun.

In between and around the rest, I've had several naps, good meals, interesting conversations with Spouse and friends, a chat or two with my Dad, and snuggles with the cats. I did a couple of loads of laundry and a load of dishes.
Squirrel celebrated his birthday by indulging in a favorite activity – he napped.
Onward and Upward.
