Winter sets in…

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. It’s been a crazy ride over here at the 322. I got a job at a Head Start center working with families back in Aug/Sept. and I’ve been pretty busy adjusting and working. I actually do not get online that often outside my job, so I haven’t had a presence on here in a while. I do get on Facebook now and then, but I’ve even cut back on that.

I have to say that I’m glad the cold is finally here. I’ve been waiting for it. We actually did get a light snow/freeze last week, which was nice. It’s getting time for seed-buying and preparing the garden for the Spring. We have decided to do some raised beds this year, so we’ll see how that turns out. With T’s back issues and my inability to keep up with a large garden on my own, we decided to scale back and make it (hopefully!) much easier on both of us. Now just to get those beds built.

Christmas has been pretty calm so far. I’m off from work for the next two weeks, which I’m more thankful for than I can express. First, I’m going to rest, but some work around the house has to be accomplished on this vacation as well. However, I find time to get some things done every now and then… like jewelry organizing (along with finding a use for an old rake given to me by a coworker).

I’m in a purging mood and am trying to take advantage of it. Now, if I could just get someone to come pick up my junk. I love getting rid of stuff.

I’ve been drinking tea like crazy, today. Speaking of another item stash I need to purge. Maybe I can drink enough on vacation to cut down the VERY large supply somewhat. I haven’t allowed myself to buy tea in a while because I have so much. Maybe if I can get rid of some I can try out some new stuff. I’ve been craving it like crazy today, which is better than craving hot chocolate.

Well, kitties are calling and getting a little rambunctious because it’s almost dinner time. I better go see if they are killing each other.
