I've been pondering a year off drinking just for health and tolerance reasons. At this point I can get through a handle of vodka over a long weekend and hardly stumble, it's hardly worth the cost anymore. Need to get on firmer footing with my foray into decaf coffee first, one vice at a time.

My week has been alright. Looking forward to a bigger than usual Christmas, but I'm way behind on gift shopping. We also got some promising developments in my wife's job hunt lately, which has started to feel a bit hopeless of late. Really looking forward to her getting back to work, despite how nice it is to have her around.
