Back to School for GrownUps

So…. while I’m still hoping for more responses to my questions about reasons for (or against) going back to school as an adult …. it is Christmas Eve and time for fun and family and food and festivities, right?Well, hopefully, for all of you, anyway!

For me, it’s a mad rush to get my fiction/nonfiction paper done, and presents wrapped - I should be wrapping Ross’ now, while he’s out returning the rental car since we now have our new van. They are the only ones I have to wrap - he’s offered to do everything else for me, since my hands, neck & back are still messed up from the car accident.

Other than those, mostly I just need to stuporvise and get this darned paper done. Tomorrow we’ll go do the family thing - his for brunch, mine for dinner.  Much driving, but oh well - tis the price you pay for living up here on the lake

On Boxing Day his sister (the only 1 of 3 that still speaks to us)  and her husband will come for dinner - I’m doing a roast with yorkshire puddings, since we’ll all have had turkey on Christmas (and my brother in law loves my yorkshire pudding) … roast beef dinner, for me, isn’t complete unless there are mashed potatoes - don’t know how Ross feels about peeling potatoes, but since I have never known him to do it, I’m guessing I might have to make do.

And hopefully - at least the plan is - by the time they get here for dinner, the fiction paper will be DONE and then I can move onto all the (much) smaller bits & pieces of school stuff I need to get done before the end of the year.

Anyway …. Merry Christmas - or whatever else you celebrate. And best wishes for safe & happy holidays to your and yours.
