sraunIt does look like the elder step-daughter no longer considers me the source of all evil. I am ... relieved.
Today is the kind of day where I wish I lived a house with a cathedral ceiling wall of windows (at least triple-pane, of course!) with a huge fieldstone fireplace in the center. So I could sit and watch the wonderful blowing snow through the windows around the roaring fire.
I really do like winter.
Lets see, what else is there - last night was the family Christmas with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
iraunink's family. kosmickitten & bernesemntdog hosted - it was her first turkey, she mixed recipes. Unfortunately, she took the temperature from the shorter cooking time recipe, and the time from the longer cooking time recipe, and didn't monitor the internal temperature closely enough. It was good, but a little dry. iraunink & I got a Hogfather DVD! We're happy about that - I've been watching it over my shoulder at work today.
Speaking of work - 7-7 today and tomorrow (Christmas Eve), then 7AM-3PM on Christmas Day. Then four days off, followed by two weeks of 'work every day except Saturday' (except that I don't work New Year's Day). The days I wouldn't normally work, I'll be working 4 hour days to cover for my co-worker who's in Sri Lanka getting married - he's due back the 16th. Add in another OT day on the 18th, and I should be able to buy myself a Nokia N810 come early February.
