It is always a bit of adjustment to get back to life after the holidays. I think we’ve done pretty well for the most part, though. Today has been the day that I’ve got the most done, and I still have a lot to do.  I could wear this to get it done and then dress it up and go do something fun.

Good news, according to the Labor Department, a lot of hiring was done in December. Unfortunately, one must keep in account that the government stops counting people as unemployed when they give up looking for work. I think that our recession is on the way to ending, but its magnitude will be felt for years to come.
