I'm OK.  I'm looking forward to some time off.

Noelle can fill in her side of the story...

OK, so far.  I did manage to accidentally send a gift card to my sister's
wrong address.  So, she may have to interact with her ex-beau to get the
card.  Faux paux.

We may go to an x-mas party in S.F.  Haven't decided yet.

Oh, and our manager will be taking care of our cat.  It was embarrassing
showing him the litter box.  Oh, well.
