Friday
Another quiet day at work; went to lunch with a coworker and her husband. We talked about gossip in the office, and resolved to detach ourself from office drama in the new year. This is something that I am noticing in multiple areas of my life, and I hope to more clearly define what I can say about my relationships without gossiping. It's something to aim for, at least. I had a lovely time with N, who cooked an excellent sweet potato and corn chowder. It's been a while since we had done that, and it was nice to catch up. I stayed a little too late, and I'm really grateful that I managed to get home safely.
Saturday
I slept in. I will maybe come back and post later. must go now. Suffice it to say, my dad and I talked more than we have in a year.
