This past year has seen some big changes for me at work...well, I guess its been more than 365 days that things started changing. And I really didn't see that it was going in a positive direction. It just seemed sadder and I felt very down.
But time has a way of smoothing out some rough edges, and I am enjoying working with my evening peeps. They are young and fun and we all get along, and really - what more could I ask for?
At the TNL pick-up party on Saturday we ran into an old college friend and her daughter. (the lady in the foreground with glasses and the lady right next to her)
I wasn't drunk, promise. We hung out with them for a couple of hours and had a very lovely time. And next time there is a pick-up we will make sure that we do that again!
Later that afternoon we caught a Metrorail train to downtown Austin for Hubby's office party.
I was surprised at how fast and efficient it was - we were downtown in no time. We had a short walk to Congress Avenue and saw the sights - the first Austin fire station, a few bars and restaurants, some homeless folk. Very entertaining...
We had a very nice dinner and drinks at Roaring Fork, and a show at The Paramount. It was a great evening!
We hopped back on the train just after 11, Firstborn picked us up at the station, and we were home before midnight. Pooped.
Most nights I have been enjoying either hot chocolate or tea while I read a bit. Its a nice way to relax. We've been super busy at work and the Christmas machine has been cranking at home. Mama needs to wind down for everyone's safety.
I took Monday off and got my oil changed, among other things. Now my passenger seat belt is alarming, reminding my non-existent passenger to buckle up...hopefully it will resolve and if not, I guess its off to the Subaru dealer I go.
