Wellness update: The walkman mostly works, only...I forget how bulky a walkman is, and how into my workout I actually get. I think I can keep expanding my mind on the elliptical, though. I know y'all are thrilled to hear the news.

Speaking of news, there's some glum news about my job--It won't be there next year. The other day my boss came to the assistant's meeting to tell us about drastic budget cuts, and to say that it will affect our school in a big way ("I've never seen the budget like this"). I was collecting my thoughts after-the-fact, and was just about to go tell her that I was officially not coming back next year when I was called in and told that there wouldn't be a position there. It was actually kind of a relief, because when she closed the door and asked me to sit I thought she'd say don't come back after Christmas. Still, it's no good to be reminded of the terrible economy.

And so...I make paper snowflakes.

This one was missing a fold. I spent a lot of time on it, though, and want to find a use for it. Methinks...nativity? Am I missing little snow animals? Little snow couple? Little snow baby? Hmm. Good thing I saved the scraps. -TZC
