dolphins_logGlad Yule, all!
I'm sitting in the livingroom with Juli. Juli is relaxing for a few minutes before she goes to work. She has a 6 hour shift on this final shopping day. I'll be going to Rollingbay for the family Christmas and Juli will join us after work.
Juli's last present arrived today. She's standing behind me so I can't tell you what it is. I bought it on eBay. It arrived postage due and it was in the "never been opened, mint conditioned" described. Sure, a disappointment, but I'll see if the seller can't make it good.
What have I been doing?
Well, working, of course. Work came with a surprise last November. The parent company I work for lost the contract with the state. So I will either lose my job in 12 months, or I'll be working for the new company, but with a much larger commute [which may be prohibitive].
I received a mass email form NWSFS man Mr. Citrak. He was looking for volunteers for the PBS station in Tacoma. I've never answered phones for a pledge drive, but since it's what I do for work I thought "why not?" So last Sunday I answered phones while "The Celtic Women" played on the monitor. Wow! They are good! I've seen them before on a DVD about 4 years ago. I pledged for the CD.
I was able to attend the Tai Pan party this year, though Juli had to pass. She and her store had the biggest shopping day E-V-E-R! And the company nation wide is having a record year.
The folks at Pandora House were wonderful hosts. Thank you! Thank you!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
geojlc and amoveodivus , both on cello, jeffreycornish on mountain dulcimer, , and young Valentine on violin, played a quartet a song that the four of them worked on separately. Very Good!! and Valentine surprised me with his ability.
Fun was had by all.
Tomorrow Juli and I will celebrate Christmas morning together here at home, then will go to Chris, Juli's brother, and his new wife Janet. Janet just had brain surgery last Saturday, but she is still insisting on putting on the dinner. We tried to pull her back a little, but. .. I'm sure Chris will help. He cooks.
2010 is coming. I posted a bit ago abut spring fever. Well last night I actually heard a frog. I think we've all already successfully brought the sun back with our celebrations.
