Well, hello. Yes, it's been awhile, hasn't it?
It's the holiday season, and this means cards and letters are coming in. My helpful neighborhood postman noticed that mail has been coming in for Chris (because he's here now!!) and added his name to my mail box.
Just a few minutes ago, I ran into my apartment building's site manager, who made awkward small talk for awhile before getting to the heart of the matter, which was her curiosity about why there was an unidentified other living here with me. I told the truth--that I'll have someone staying with me for awhile--and that he has been receiving mail here. Still, I feel like a criminal, sneaking an illegal alien around or harboring a fugitive or something! In any case, now that my nerves have calmed down a little, I thought I'd say hi to you all. So...hi!
Chris has been here for a few weeks now, and it feels great to have him here. He is blending in well with my family and has already been subjected to more Edstrom-family time than I could ever hope for him to withstand. We have also gotten back to our old routine of cooking together, and have made several roast meals--as I'm writing this, there is a chicken roasting in the oven, along with potatoes, onions, carrots and sweet potatoes. Delicious! No more cereal for dinner for this girl...
Well, I hope you're all well and enjoying the post-Thanksgiving, triptophan-induced somnolence as I am.
