Lots of good and bad stuff has been happening lately, mostly good, but it's been a stressful few weeks. My boss has been out of the office almost continuously since the begining of December, right now she's in the States, that's been difficult since I am still dealing with projects that I had nothing to do with at the begining. I got to meet up with some Kildare pagans a couple of weeks ago and my liver is still recovering. It's astonishing how much people drink here and how many occasions they find to do so. The big girl is doing well, she is starting to repeat phrases from her books and sounds too cute. She has taken to wrestling with the big dog that her Opa gave her for Yule, at this point it's about 50:50 as to who is winning. She sometimes get frustrated when eating now because she wants to do it herself so we give here a fork or spoon but keep shoveling it in ourselves too so that she ends up with a reasonable meal. I wish you could all come and see her, she is a joy.
