I later moved on to filling lined journals.
And when I tired of that, I began including little life-summaries on my calendars.
I've always like to write, even if it's chronicling ordinary experiences.
Said differently? I've missed blogging.
Even though not a lot has happened since my last post in mid-November, here are some highlights:
I get re-elected in November to the BAFTA NY Board. The competition is tough, and I am relieved to have been chosen for a second term.
Thanksgiving is at Adam and Rachel's in the Hamptons, and again, the day is filled with family ...
Exceptional food (provided by an extraordinary outside chef and staff — the same we've all come to love for the past three years) ...
And a celebration of the November-December birthdays.
Christmas is again spent doing the same thing I've done for the past many years — have friends over to watch movies (this year it's Green Book and Widows). The major difference this year is that finally, I get a new 65 inch Samsung TV (QN65Q8FNBFXZA) that I would highly recommend to anyone looking. It takes four visits from Best Buy's Geek Squad for everything to work, but it's worth the wait, and the many additional discounts I receive. (I also get and love the SONOS BEAM 1US1 Soundbar with it. It coordinates seamlessly with Alexa). And it all looks sleek and uncluttered on the wall.
Work is the same. It astounds me that I am still there; it's now been three years, having started in November 2015. Sales have not been good. But on the bright side, my new manager who came in October is transferred three months later. I'll leave it simply as our styles were not compatible.
And finally, with much consternation, I get a plant.
And then a Chinese fortune teller tells me I have too much "wood" in my life and to never wear green (easy to do) and avoid having plants in the house.
It's nice to be back.
