Not a bad way to bring in the new year, overall.

I am still not feeling 100% (I have been sick this week), but I feel pretty good and I'm getting better. Scott is healthy. Drew is healthy. Everyone is happy. We are snug and warm and safe inside a house, with plenty to wear, eat, and do. Outside, the wind is blowing hard and the rain is coming down even harder. In other parts of the state it is snow, but here it is only rain. The cats are racing about playing and being silly, and being snuggly at other times. (And Ray is being incredibly sweet: Drew basically sat down on him and the claws came out - then went away without being used and the cat just took off out of the danger zone. He is amazing with Drew.) We've talked with family and friends, and I'm about to send out the email with Drew's pictures - so much joy.

A good start to what I hope will be a good year.

And tomorrow I get my humongous freezer. *dances*

And I'm so glad I'm snug at home with no place I need to be but here. 'Cause that rain is really coming down. This is not your light Oregon mist; this is a Florida rain, only colder. :P Good storm!
