Just a bit of an update

I just wanted to pop in an say "Hi." I'll be out of town for the next week, my sister and I are heading to Iowa tomorrow for the Thanksgiving holiday. My mom's so thrilled she can hardly stand it. We'd been planning this even before my job, well, changed.

( More behind the cut )

Anyway, I guess that's most of what's going on. Happy Thanksgiving. And, thanks, too, for being there to nod and smile and be encouraging when I get in this sort of mood.
