Santa's Little Helper #2

"Christmas doesn’t come from a store, maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more."   –  Dr. Seuss 'How the Grinch stole Christmas'


Not sure if she's checking the official naughty or nice list, or Santa had just texted a few extra items he wanted her to buy at the mall, or she'd just received the Dr Seuss quote to her phone,  but what ever it was, she sure looked grouchy, annoyed, worried - or something - for the entire time she was in Midpoint restaurant where Alison and I were meeting for dinner and catch up. We realised we haven't seen each other for several months, so there was quite a lot of catch up to do.  This lovely evening rounded off what had been an equally lovely day, teaching students who want to learn, birthday cake and celebrations for two of them, and jolly fun classes but no meetings,  so I am grateful for that - though for the cold and wet weather, and continued aches and pains, well, not so much.
