Things have been going my way! I applied for ID two weeks ago. I needed it for an urgent banking matter. I was told four to six weeks and it arrived in two! That's service! So i got my banking all sorted out and what a relief! So glad i don't have to wait til mid-January! Then i just made up a simple art project i like. I like doing it with relaxing jazz playing. So nice to do something without words. Seems all my other hobbies are words-intensive. So mellow to spend time in lines and shapes and colors. Then i had another good night at Scrabble, winning all my games. I'm on a six game winning streak!

Mood is mildly depressed but that's parr for the course at this time of year. Christmas is a week a way and i'm honestly looking forward to a peaceful day, counting myself lucky not to be at some pressured social gathering. I'm just not that social. I did enjoy the bit of chatter tonight at Scrabble. A man i like a lot lingered in conversation with me so it was nice to get his attention.

It's super cold and the building is reacting to it by giving off loud bangs as the materials expand i guess. It upsets my poor dog no end and she insists on climbing on my lap and she pants like she's just run a marathon! She's terrified. She doesn't mind storms but she sure doesn't like the banging. I'm typing this with her back end on one arm and her front paws on the other! Haha!
