Oy, Glenda, I actually DO have to make a high-speed 1-day turnaround to Bellingham somewhere between the 27th and, oh, on or about January 11th...be glad to have a wee carpool on the go, because, wait for it...I have just accepted a (cross your fingers it holds and the place opens on schedule and they like me, etc. etc. etc.) brand new job as a Lead Cook at a decent rate of pay {for a cook!} starting somewhere around the 12th of said month! Whoeeeeee

Thought it would never happen.......now to survive December.
