She came before them, and there was much rejoicing.
I have returned from the City of the Salt Lake. Much to my dismay, of course. My vacations are always way too short.
But before I get all dismal on you all; the trip was awesome. It was just the right mix of down-time and fun. It was great getting to see everyone, and I scored some pretty nifty presents. My favorites being a new digital camera, a funky healing necklace, and a pendulum charm I can use to speak with my spirit guides. I’d be here until forever if I went over everything, so I’ll hit the highlights; bullet point style.
Jachelle's Holiday Extravaganza:
-I was forced to Karaoke, and subjected everyone to my rendition of Lady Marmalade.
-I finally got an eye exam and cute new glasses.
-We had a Christmas dinner comprised of spicy enchiladas and tostadas.
-I watched Juno with my mom, and spent half the movie trying to decipher if she understood what anyone was saying.
-Spent a lot of time with the fam's new cat, Diesel, who is a miniature sized version of Clover.
-Got daily messages from
ravenindarkness telling me that Clover had gone insane in my absence.
-Thought about going sledding, then wimped out because of the cold.
-Played more Sudoku than should be legal.
-Defended the importance/relevance/hotness of Team Sam to Team Dean (aka my sisters.)
Pictures will be up soonish.
Alas, not everything is puppy dogs and rainbows. My co-worker who was supposed to switch shifts with me backed out. She had to work just one day with the megabeast and they got into it. Welcome to my life. She said she’d never be able to work with her day in and day out. On the one hand, I want to be royally pissed off because now I’m not only stuck on this shift, but I have to try and re-work my entire schedule for spring semester at the last minute, because I was banking on being on swings and all my classes are in the late afternoon. On the other hand, I can’t be too upset with her, because MB is the reason that I want off the shift. I know what it’s like to want to be as far away from her as humanly possible. At any rate, I’m just trying not to freak out. This is only the most recent in a constant stream of crap that Quest Diagnostics has thrown my way recently. It’s gotten to the point where I wake up with massive heartburn every night that I work because I’m so stressed out by it all. And on note, I’ve officially begun job hunting again.
