Update

Well, I caught my first cold in almost two years (or more). I left work on Wednesday feeling achy and sore, then I woke up Thursday morning with a cold. I called it a mini-cold, which Dave says doesn't exist, because I'm not really feeling sick, but I have a sore throat and I keep sneezing. Hopefully it goes away before I work on Sunday because I work two days alone this week! (I seem to get more work done that way anyway...haha)

Dave was promoted to assistant manager of the wildlife management area here. He has to start probation over again and he had to drive to Reno to be drug tested right away to get all that over with. Now he goes to management training with his boss and he's pretty excited about it.  He will be in charge of seasonals, the mechanic and the tech who replaces him.

I only have one day off for Christmas--Christmas Day--so I'm hoping we'll go to Carson to spend it with his family. I really like his mom and his sisters...and cousins....and more cousins...and aunts! He's got one aunt who is 4 years older than he is and she just had a baby. I made a cross-stitched bib for her. Theresa, his aunt, loves dragonflies and I happened to have a pink and purple dragonfly design in one of my cross-stitching books. It's probably the easiest design I've ever done and it was really fast.

Other than that, that's about it. Work's going fine...we're finally replacing some of the mannequins in the museum and getting them new Civil War uniforms. The old ones are old and faded, and they look pretty bad. One of them is missing a few fingers, and one is missing a whole hand! I want it to look like we take care of the museum...since it's the first thing the visitors see when they come in to the park!
