Dear pals,
We are back!
We had a jolly good time with the Man last week. He orders a lot of pizza while Lady is away. We really like pizza. He also doesn't get up as early, so that is great.
While Lady was away, finally after 7 months the deck was 99% finished. It needs the railing for the stairs. If the temperatures were not around freezing, it would be safe for us to sit on. Lady looks forward to spending a lot of time on it in 2024. Man does not look forward to having to keep it shovelled off.

Lady was at a conference. She wasn't as cautious with her food, and must have picked up some gluten and she is not feeling 100%. Fortunately she didn't get sick with anything else. Some of you had been kind and told her to be careful with Covid. Well she is 99% sure she had it for the 3rd time at the end of September so is hopeful she doesn't get it or anything again.
Her big accomplishment while away was winning her first ever election. She wants you to all know, she is not cut out in any way for politics. Fortunately, she didn't have to campaign but sitting through the 2 hour meeting that ended with the results was torture. When her name was called, there was cheering in the room. Later when she was first publicly introduced in her new role, there was cheering. Lady thinks everyone but her is cheering. She is now the secretary for the board of directors for a professional organization. It is a 2 year term. She has told everyone to call her Madame Secretary. It is a volunteer position and likely going to take a lot of time, but she thinks once things get going, it will be fine. We are all very proud of her, even if she is not being overly proud of herself.

That is the big updates here. We hope Lady's 10th work related title (it is something crazy like that) will not have a negative impact on our ability to be here with you all.
Looking forward to catching up with all of you.

ReplyDeleteYour deck looks great, and it does look like a large area to have to shovel the snow off of. Congrats to the Lady for her new position of power.

Huzzah for your impressive mom.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Lady! Your deck is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Lady for winning the election. Gail is Madam Secretary of a local non-profit organisation. I guess she thought she'd do it for a couple of years. That was in 2016...
