It’s been awhile since I’ve written, and it sorta seems that long, but also it sorta doesn’t, like that carton of yogurt I pulled out of the fridge this morning that I thought was kinda new, only to see it’s actually only 2 days away from the end of that week you get after the sell by date, when it’s still supposed to be OK. And actually I bet you it’ll still be good for at least another week after that.<\/p>\n

I usually resist when Mark talks about time flying, especially as we age, but November has definitely gone quickly. It could be because we had some really cold weather, then it got really warm, and now it’s slowly getting cold again. And of course it could be because of impending cookie season, and will I get it all done.<\/p>\n

The good thing is that the house painters took advantage of the heat wave and the painting is done. Mostly. They say they’re going to paint the door in spring. It’s an enamel paint that should be applied in warmer weather. The bad thing is I’m going to have to come up with the last big payment to the contractors.<\/p>\n

Besides the painters, we’ve had other milestones.<\/p>\n

Jasper’s been here two more Wednesdays, the 8th:<\/p>\n\n\t\t
