So it's almost Yule. Things are going well. Nora's doing great. Running around and eating everything in sight, the spicier the better. 

Things for me have been pretty ok. Nora has, and I said this last year, reset my holiday depression at least somewhat. I am still feeling run down and stressy, but it's not the endless bottled rage alternating with weeping and apathy starting at or before thanksgiving that was once the norm. Not that I'm not tired. I am because work is crazy as it's budget season.

We're having Janna's parents over no the 24th for dinner. I have a nice rib roast and I'm thinking of things to go with it. Not sure what direction to go in. Then we'll do something for the 25th, maybe Chinese food. I'm not sure if Janna is up to making dumplings, but I was kind of hoping she would.
