The countdown begins
I'm at work today, but just for the morning. I tried to get here by 7:30 so I could leave (with a good conscience) at 11:30 instead of 12:00 - stupid train blocked my way. I did get here by 7:45, though...
It has been a very, very slow week at work. I really need to learn to use that time to my advantage, but I have a hard time getting motivated.
I have one more holiday shopping stop to make, which I will do this afternoon. It's not Christmas for me without at least one trip to World Market. Also plan to take my (now) oldest kitty to the vet for a check-up, but that might not happen until next week, since I find it likely that the vet won't be in today.
We called in a claim to our home warranty company about our flickering lights. The first electrician they assigned us to was in either Humble or Tomball and when Jimmy called him he said he couldn't walk so we'd have to call someone else. So J called them back. I got an e-mail this morning with our new claim information. The electrician they assigned us to this time is in Austin. WTF???
I have an overwhelming urge to cook. I just wish I had more people to cook for. Looks like this Christmas is going to be very laid back. We're having friends over tonight, but nothing big. I'm 99% sure our traditional (for the last 9 years) Christmas Eve plans aren't going to materialize this year, since we haven't heard anything from the family we usually celebrate with - this is ok and to be expected as their family is completely scattered now, but now we need to make our own traditions. I wish we had family (or friends with no family in town) to share Christmas Eve with at our house.
I loves the holidays. :-)
