I have very little to write, though I have a lot to write about. Actually, I dont even remember what I have written in the past couple months. Anyway, I think Im just posting so that my journal doesnt become absurdly dated.

I have Janes Addiction playing right now. I mention it because it is the first album that I have listened to since the first Advent Sunday that is in no way Christmas related. This sort of depresses me because the time between Halloween and Yule is my favorite time of year. I would be quoting A Christmas Carol right now if Nerri wasnt so happily curled up in my lap, meaning I cant roll my chair over to the bookcase where all my Dickens is without waking him. Anyway, we are now in the full-bloom of wintertime, and there is even a little snow hiding in the shady places where the nasty sun never comes to destroy it, so my mood will not falter.

I must confess some relief that the holiday season has passed, nevertheless. It has been a hard few months for me. The student loan troubles I had this quarter finally made me give up on the never-ending training I put myself through, and I am now totally focused on my business, which is picking up steam now that I have given it my full attention. Planning and doing are two different things, and small business advisors focus on the former, so I am glad Ive had done with them. So, as long as my car doesnt break down or I dont get robbed again, things look good for the next couple of months. I have age and wisdom enough now to know that looking any further ahead is useless.
