A bit of hither and yon

The Peanuts are in great shape, and sassy as sass monsters, and all seems well and ready to roll for Xmas at our house.

I think _I_ am ready for Xmas, I think?

There's a thing at work, where money is tight, and I'm stopping being slow, because my joy in my work came from getting things done, and I'm not doing a lot of that.

I used to get a jump out of _solving_ problems, and I don't seem to be able to do that these days with people being so cautious to do anything.

It feels like one of those moments where we can, with some effort, push forward hard into a new way of doing things.
