A bit of update

dreamflowerI really have not had much time to post any kind of personal update lately, what with the new job, and Yuletide, and the GFIC Yule exchange and the holidays...
At any rate, I'll ramble a bit. Last weekend, the DH took our Christmas decorations down from the loft storage area in our garage, placing them on the floor near the door so we could more easily get at them. Today, when he went to get them out to put up, several of them were missing, including three little lighted yard trees that had never been opened! (Bought last year at a post-Christmas sale.); several lights; and one of the wreaths I had made--the one I had made for the porch door--and also some ribbon I had stored in a plastic box. It was truly infuriating! It looks like it was probably a kid, who just popped the door up and ducked in and took what was closest to the door.
*sigh*
Anyway, we got some of the outside decorating done, and will finish up tomorrow.
My new job has now settled into some regular hours--20 hours a week, 11-3, M-F! I certainly can't complain about that! It's a while for me to be on my feet, but I'm hoping that as I get more used to the activity, my feet won't swell so much. And it seems a fun place to work so far.
I've made a couple of false starts on my Yuletide fic. It's a certain fandom I have often wished had some fic, and I'm delighted to have it as an assignment!
Tomorrow in church, the pastor asked the DH and I to take part in the Advent candlelighting service, and then we have a potluck lunch in the Fellowship Hall. I'm going to take my Mixed Veg salad. And Monday night the UMW (United Methodist Women) are also having a potluck--I'm not sure what I'm going to take Monday night.
Fic-writing time is getting hard to come by!
