I'm still around. I haven't been posting here, because I've been working nights at work, which always messes me up. I'm hanging in there, though. My place isn't spotless, but if someone were to land on my doorstep right now I could let them in without being embarrassed (well, by my place: I, OTOH, am in my pajamas with unwashed hair!). Having a cleaning lady come in every two weeks has really made a difference. I don't remember ever having my place clean for four consecutive months, ever! I usually prepare a bit before she comes by doing whatever dishes are left over, clearing the countertops, and making sure all the surfaces in the bathroom and in the rest of the apartment are clear as well. She does the "heavy" cleaning in the bathroom and kitchen, and mops all the floors. I'm behind with my laundry, but it's more a question of finding the time to do it than anything else. I don't have a mountain of stuff, but it's beginning to pile up a bit. I think that my present to myself next year might well be a dryer. Hanging up my laundry may be good for the environment, but it's also something I appear to be reluctant to do in winter. Still, I can't afford one right now, so perhaps I'll get used to hanging up my laundry before long. Christmas snuck up on me. I'm not sure how that happened. I'm going to be working practically straight through Christmas anyway, so it's not like it's going to be a big deal this year. I'll spend a quiet Christmas morning with my parents, and then I'm going back to work. Anyway, as Little_Ninja would say, I've been keeping on keeping on, and so things are okay. I'm very tired, and I've had some personal stuff that hasn't been too much fun, but nothing I can't handle. I am persevering, and that's something. I'm reminded of this quote from the late lamented TV show Firefly: Mal: We're still flying. Simon: That's not much. Mal: It's enough. Namaste, everyone! ~Mouse  |

 Glad you got the chance to check in, Mouse Who Roars. I hope work settles down soon so you can visit more often.

So nice to see you. Glad things are ok. I'm dealing with some personal stuff too. I know that can be a pain. Hope you have time over Christmas to catch your breath and take a bit of time to yourself.  |
