reveling in the quiet

Ian, who very nearly did not get here for Christmas due to the midwest blizzard, has gone home. Hallie went to see her grandmas for a week. Dave is back at work. My "adopted son," Adam, is still here, but leaving in a couple of hours.

The house is silent. It's nice.

This morning I ran a lot of Christmas cookies, the ones that had been around a week or more, down the garbage disposal. That was cathartic.

This afternoon, the gym.

And now my long wait for longer daylight begins. Spring, hurry fast!

I'm looking forward to next week when the regular routines of the house come back into play.

Ah, but does it mean "not abled," or the verb form of notable? I think you're definitely the second one!

i wasn't brave enough to have cookies at home this year. i don't even put things in the garbage disposal, i just toss it out before it can be eaten.

hard to believe that this time last year i was visiting you.

Honestly, that just seems like yesterday, Jilly. Man, did this year fly.
