The second day of the new year and things are getting real. Someone at work quit, which is going to mean more work for the rest of us. And Emma got a job offer for a place in New York. It wasn’t as good as she was hoping, but since she’s moving there this week anyway, it gets her a start.

I’m thankful Emma got a job for her new start. I’m grateful I’m feeling better today. And I’m thankful for a good Manhattan tonight after dinner. It was worth skipping a dose of Sudafed for.
