Countdown

I don't think we expected this month to be as tough as it is turning out to be! We are all separated, which is tough and we are all crazy busy, which is tough, and it is the Holiday season which is toughest.

Emily is doing well at Tom's house. They just got a tree and she is enjoying having both Chun and Ow together, if only temporarily. She just found out that her Drama Club will be doing Seussical in the Spring which I think brought it home to her that it was a reality that she was actually moving. She struggled a little with that and it felt terrible that I wasn't there.

Mark has been at the house getting it packed and shipped. The 40 foot container has come and gome with all of our stuff and our car in it. It should be on a ship by now. He spent the last two days in the house cleaning and prepping for the renter (who will arrive on December 10th) and soothing a very disturbed and stressed out cat. Colonel was so upset by the empty house that he was drooling.

I have been with Deb and Jason trying desperately to keep up with business this Holiday season. Deb has been a fantastic help and has picked it all up so quickly. The twins are a joy to have around as well, although they are struggling with colds now - poor things. I'm very lonely for Emily and Mark. Deb and Jason brought home a 12 foot Xmas tree yesterday and decorated their gorgeous home for Xmas. The tree, Xmas music and log on the fire made me a little weepy. I just keep trying to remember we are doing all of this for a good reason. There are 29 days to life at Water's Edge.
