one step closer...

we can use the toilets, tub, and bathroom sink now. finally.
on Monday my husband called the sewer line cleaner folks and they took care of the problem - just like that.

work has posed a couple of interesting / challenging requests lately. i'm always grateful for something new and fun and mentally taxing enough to keep me from rummaging through empty offices for pens and other office supplies to pilfer.

i'm a week away from 38. it's kind of funny because for the past 6 months or so i've been having to remind myself that i'm still only 37, and that 40 really is farther away than that. which is a really good thing, because the baby will be in school by the time i'm 40, and i'm not ready for that just yet.

it's cold and beautiful outside (not right now, because it's still dark, and will be for a while to come, but when the sun shines on the ice on the trees - - v. pretty)

work and diet coke beckon.
