It has been 11 days of the new year and so far things are holding steady.  I am sitting here after feeding Perdi and Francis.  Now I am holding Medusa.  I really get a feeling of satisfaction taking care of may family and my animals.  I have been working on the house too.  We got a "new" couch and a "new" chair and ottoman.  I have been starting sure but slow to go through things and get rid of things.  It feels good.  I was working on an afghan I am giving as a gift, and Medusa is now snuggled in it and I can't work on it.  Sigh.  That's ok. Just hangin out tonight.  Homework starts soon.  K~
