Hey, is that the sun?

The househunting is continuing mainly in theory - my agent called yesterday to say that she hadn't forgotten about me, but hadn't seen anything either.

Did you have a good time at the market, despite being soggy? I haven't been there in ages. I did get things accomplished this morning - I changed the kitty litter, cleaned the bathroom, took out the garbage and did two loads of laundry. Next will come the making of sushi, but I have to wait for Nora to wake up and do the dishes first. Oh well.

Yes, I got some veggies, and some little Xmas present thingies and a pastry for breakfast. I love the market, but I have to get there early because if it's too crowded I get grumpy and the hate for people begins. Especially slow people in my way!

I will be free of dreaded school obligations on the 5th. We should all plan to get together before Xmas. (I leave for Sydney on the 20th.)

My sister!

We should definitely get together before Christmas. Nora and I aren't going out of town, so we're free most of the time. Nora's exams end around when yours do, I think.

Trudy and I will be free pretty much any time after Christmas. Of course, there may be days when I have family obligations, and one day I am working, that she might like to get together without me...

I am free - December 5th (we can celebrate Sue's school freedom), December 9th, December 13th, December 15th (Sunday, free all day), ah, am sort of free Dec 18th, but it depends on how many times we plan to see TTT....

Then I'm kind of tied up until after Christmas.

Oh, but can manage an early dinner/coffee (working at 7pm) on Dec 6, Dec 10, Dec 20.

You tell me what days are good, and we can start planning.

I'm not entirely sure about the 5th (it may be a school dinner thing), but all those other dates are good for me.

B and I are back from the wilds of northern NS. 100+km/hr winds kept us up most of last night, but other than that we had a nice relaxing time. We learned how to play cribbage and kicked each other's butts. t /geeks

I won't be able to confirm or deny when I can get together with people until after this Thursday (or maybe after that date). Please, feel free to organize something and I'll attend if possible.

B and I are staying her at Christmas so we are up for a Trudy visit. YAY!

Your cat scan is Tuesday, right? And the ENT appointment on Thursday. Brian is seeing his doctor Monday, so hopefully we will have some news as well.

I'm absolutely fine with any of the dates I listed, which only make sense, I suppose.

Megan, cribbage! Did you play partners? Because we need to get together and I'll kick alls your asses! Of course, seeing as I am the one who is likely to be the best at keeping score....

Ahem, I was taught to play cribbage before I could count. I could kick all yer asses.

That sounds like a challenge.

It could be....maybe we need a little tournament.

(Actually I'm not even the best in my family -- what am I doing?)

Edit: 500!

This maybe the only thread where I get to actually be a number companion. I've never won anything like this before!

I can't believe this is happening to me.

(Weeps.)

I'd like to thank God, the Almighty Creator, (sob) for this honour and for my blessed life.

I'd like to thank my parents for all the support and late nights along the way. I made it mom! (sob)

I'd like to thank my manager, and my agent. I wasn't convinced about this number, but they held my hand and said "You can do it! We believe in you. Take that risk!"

I'd like to thank the creators of this thread, the admins, the stompy feet for giving me a nuturing environment in which I could safely explore being a number companion.

Oh I'm just so touched.

I'd like to thank my stylist, my hairdresser and my chiropractor for making me not look too hippy in such a broad number as five hundred.

I'd like to thank Sanford Fleming for creating time zones and making it the middle of the night in England so FayJay didn't beat me here.

And finally, I wouldn't be here without each and everyone of you. You are my inspirations, and the groundbreak. If it wasn't for all the posts that came before, I wouldn't be the companion I am today.

Thank you! God bless you!
