I’ve just been busy - the good kind of busy.

The house is full of guests kind of busy.

The finally back in the office kind of busy.

The getting ready for Christmas kind of busy.

All my favorite kinds of busy rolled up into one…life is good.

Except that the hot tub has this strange fog and I can’t get rid of it no matter how much clarrifier or chlorine I put in. I mean it’s not like the fog is stopping me from using the hot tub. But it is stopping me from seeing my toes as I lounge and I like looking at my toes because they’re really gimp - I’m talking seriously ugly here. But my calves are rather nice (if I do say so myself). I really like the juxtaposition of lovely and gimp. It reminds me of life.

That’s the kind of thing I think about in the hot tub.

Oh, by the way, we have a pine tree / shrub in the back that has little red berries. Does anyone know what kind of tree it is?
