Ah, such is the nature of the beast, Tracy — no pampering for the next 45 to 60 days. At least none that I can imagine. My biggest client was slowing down, which is good for me this time of year so I can concentrate on all the year-end IRS-related nonsense rather than an avalanche of daily work, but then business suddenly started booming again. Sigh. Yep, sleep will be my only pampering for a while! And, even that didn’t work last night.

Glad you liked the photos. Unusual for us to have thick fog like that. A very ethereal walk that morning. Wouldn’t want it regularly but nice for a change.

It was 65 degrees (18 Celsius) this morning at dawn. By breakfast, it was 71 (22 Celsius) and we were able to eat on our screened porch for the first time in more than a month.
