Things have taken a turn for the better here, though I don't wish to tempt fate and say that everything is working out. John David is spending his final weekend in Atlanta enjoying friends and getting ready for his big journey up here on Thanksgiving Day. I just hope that on Thursday the world is right and we have a nice time.

We have an apartment tentatively lined up. We sign the lease next weekend and hopefully all will go smoothly. It is a pretty little one-bedroom apartment, and if we are friends on flickr, you can see photos there.


Speaking of photos, look how my knitting project is coming along:

I have finished the second skein of yarn, and now I realize that I have to get a third if this is to be a true scarf. I also realize that I have until Thursday (yikes!) to finish it. We shall see.

Work is going well. Even though I haven't struck up any real friendships with my coworkers, I enjoy them all and usually have pretty good days.

I have finished classes for Kaplan, and I am almost certified to teach. Only a few more small requirements, and I will be set.

Today I cleaned my room a little bit and then knitted for hours. Nothing else. Tonight I have a small birthday dinner to go to for Betsy. Should be fun.

Last night I walked around Herald Square with some friends. We saw the Christmas menageries at Lord and Taylor, and we giggled with wide-eyed delight. Tomorrow Macy's will reveal their windows at 5:30 (we tried to peak in, but I couldn't only make out a few santa-related silhouettes (that is the first time that I have ever typed the word silhouette, strange).

Next time I see something filled with holiday spirit, I'll take a picture. I promise.
