Sunday Somethings, 20Dec09
Others writing the Sunday Somethings: Kerry
Something that made me happy this week: People reacting favorably to our homemade Christmas cards.
Something i struggled with this week: Being in something of a crisis situation with my boyfriend, with tensions high, and trying to communicate and make decisions when we wanted different things.
Something tasty i ate this week: Belgian Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies from An.
Something i learned this week: The goodness comes out in people in the middle of crisis situations. I saw so many acts of good will this weekend.
Something from the bridge table: I opened a normal 3D in first seat on K xxx KJ76532 Qx, white on red. Unfortunately for me, RHO doubled and LHO left it in. RHO admonished his partner, before the opening lead, “you can’t leave that double in.” 1700 later, he still hadn’t apologized.
Some things i am doing towards my goals: I have an unofficial and previously unstated goal of never having to sleep in the car. Yesterday we took steps to avoid that outcome, so yay!
Something i am reading: Still working on The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. Maybe i should have just watched the movie instead.
Something happening around the house: Apparently the snow was disappointing in Raleigh, so i’m sure our house is fine.
Something i am thinking: Why are there so many hotels in Wytheville, VA? I had never heard of this place until this weekend. There are 20+ hotels within like 2 miles.
Something i am looking forward to next week: Christmas!
Something i am hoping: That we can get home safely today.
Something random: On the road Friday we counted 13 salt trucks (i know there were more that i didn’t see, especially going the other way). We also counted 15 accidents, which doesn’t count the single cars that had simply slid off the road.
Something captured: Whatcha gonna do?
