1. The World Cup final was this morning, and since I didn’t really have a dog in that last fight, I was really glad to see Argentina won. I think everyone (except maybe French fans) wanted to see Messi get his World Cup win. France fought hard, but Argentina took the cup. It was a good tournament.
2. I got to have lunch with one of my favorite family members this weekend, one of my aunts. I was going to see her late summer, but I got Covid, so I had to cancel. But we drove out towards where she lives and had a nice lunch at Cheddars. But it was great to see her and hug her and see just how spirited she is in her late 80s. She is an inspiration!
3. This has been a really challenging week. Really. Challenging. My anxiety has been incredibly high, and I have been very stressed. There are still a few more days of stressful work ahead of me, but then things should calm down for a while. I’m hoping for an especially quiet January, with many weekends of reading under a warm blanket with a cup of hot tea. With this guy curled up nearby. Perfection!
