Aftermath...

(This is the view out my front door. For a few more days at least).

Trying to get back in the work-groove. I manage to remain about a day and half behind where I hope to be to allow for sleep and a few breaks before my next deadline...

It has been downright chilly. Frosty rings around the moon. We woke up to every surface being covered with a thin layer of ice. (That sure made my walk with Jack fraught with excitement! In the places that the sun had not yet been, there was a glistening sheet of black ice... I only fell once!) Where the sun was lighting, clouds and plumes of steam billowed into the air as the ice melted and evaporated. The air was filled with columns and streamers of haze. Very dramatic. I wished I had had a camera with me (although I probably would have broken it in my slipping around out there).


My very sweet publishers of the current job I am working on sent me this lovely basket-o-goodies! (They read my blog - there is a large chocolate content amongst the caramels, jelly-bellies, gourmet asparagus and zinfindel vinegarette...) :-) My family is eyeing its contents voraciously. That's probably a good thing since one of my New Year's resolutions will be to cut back on all the 'treating' I've been doing... The sedentary hours I am spending now and for the forseeable future and quantities of chocolate and treats do not a healthy combination make. So - here's to my last chocolatey hurrah before 2007!

Hope you are all having a great week!
