I hope everyone's new year is going well.

Mine is good... but......

I left mom and dad's on Tuesday.  I drove from Austin to Las Vegas.  My car that was blasted by a huge hail storm at the end of Sept and took two months to get fixed had to get home.  I tested (-) for COVID on Sunday and left for home Tuesday AM.  1200 + miles. I love road trips but still not yet fully recovered from COVID it was a long two days.  Pretty much uneventful other than the beautiful vistas.  I overnighted in Las Cruces NM.  

I pulled into our garage at 6PM yesterday.  

Merry Christmas Eve STalker-verse.

The skid made it in on time last evening.  All is good.  DW, the Spawn and my mom and dad were hot after the catch up visit at the butt crack of Dawn this AM.  I dozed.

My dad was interrogating SS on his work, life, .... etc.  The only thing missing was the bright spot light in SS's face.  My dad likes to know..... everything.

We just ran out the door for last possible second grocery and gift shopping.    First stop, Sprouts for some last minute low carb ingredients.  And then the miracle happened. 
 

DW made her grandmother's peanut butter balls for a office party yesterday. I had one in the evening. I entered a correction in my insulin pump, and... forgot to confirm the correction so it never dosed.  As we tucked in... I felt high BG and tested (my glocuse monitoring system provider jacked up my sensor order so I am perforating my fingers a dozen of so times a day).   I corrected and fell asleep.

He resigned in early Oct.  The company ran through the senior level of management like a dose of salts through the summer. All but one of the highest compensated leaders (my level) are gone.  They replaced me in Aug, and that individual resigned in Sept.

It is that bad.

Apparently the client decided to remove that level of leadership.

My former #2 wants to do lunch next week.

He and I did reach a decent place with each other the second time he was my #2.
