been a while. not much going on at the moment. had a good turkey day w/ dan & katie. the three of us spent the afternoon slaving in the kitchen. some other folks joined us for the dining portion of the evening & that was pretty fun - tasty food, wine & games. good times were had by me for sure (& i'm pretty sure other people enjoyed themselves too). (i added a new recipe to my favorites - collard greens w/ browned onions. delicious! went over well at our turkey day dinner - w/ folks who enjoy greens, that is.)
at the end of the looong weekend, i helped pack up katie's car & watched her drive off into the sunset. not really. i did help pack the car though. i'm sad that she's not 3 blocks away anymore, but i think she'll have a great trip & i look forward to her return, someday - even if that means she lives behind our couch for a while.
not much else going on. work's become a bit more comfortable, which i appreciate. no fun feeling tense all the time. a few more weeks & i'll get my 3 month review. kinda looking forward to that... wonder how my supervisor thinks things are going...
got word this week that i can keep tending the garden over the winter! so glad about that. we - i guess it's "i" now - i have a lot of collards & kale & beets & carrots growing. took katie's compost bin over to the garden & now i have somewhere to put food scraps! that's pretty exciting stuff. i wonder if it's too cold in the winter for scraps to break down outside. hm...
so one of the workers at my job has alzheimers. it's pretty sad. he's such a nice man, but he spends so much time confused. it's become a safety concern recently - not a good idea to have someone who forgets what they're doing while they're doing, using power tools - or driving or anything, really. he doesn't have a retirement plan, i don't think. he's going to be in trouble when he can't work anymore. man... what a shitty way to go.
time to turn up the heat...
