It's been a stressful few weeks. CS drama, work deadlines, feeling like I'm in over my head in both regards = too busy dog-paddling to notice the time. Flamin' retrograde doesn't seem to be helping either. *glares at sky*
But in good news, I had my first 2 days, in a row, vacation in at least 5 months. Yay beach! And friends! And tequila! Especially yay sea. I think I need to go back there for my 4 day vacation. Being in contact with seawater always feels like *such* a relaxing reset button. Need more of that, please.
Mom still hasn't gained feeling back in her feet yet and apparently fetched her knee a good one the other day because of it. :( But her energy is definitely coming back just fine, and her strength slowly but surely. She should be starting radiation soon now that her tubes are out and she's healed up.
Kittens are all healthy, thankfully.
Store has been mostly very slow since Halloween, but I'm looking now into how to contact all the different State departments and have a January-long discount just for them. I know how to at my own agency, at least.
Hoping I get a raise in January, so I can either shoulder more of the store's financial burden and/or have some spending cash. Asked about it today, and my boss will get back to me. I know he submitted something last month.
Am trying to figure out where to start with the next segment of house remodeling, and what I can afford to do. I have concrete stain to do the kitchen in, and the sooner I do something about the floor, the sooner I can put a dishwasher in place. But I want to be sure it's what I want, as there's a lot of labor involved in prepping the floor. Also have to get going on the landscaping if it's going to be done by spring planting.
wyndhover is on her way over to watch Yellowbeard, hooray. :) Something silly and quotable, please.
