Laundry! Right, thanks for the reminder - there, started a load of exercise clothes. Amazing how much there is when you hit the gym first thing in the morning and karate before bed. Ugh.
On the plus side, I now have gifts or as-good as have gifts for all my siblings. Yay. Because Christmas is sneaky. Need parental gifts.
Oh yeah - and the company I work for now, we directly profit from Bush's illegitimate war in Iraq. We sold the Iraqis things to make their trains not run into each other any more. There was a story about that in the local paper that unfortunately does not have an online version but was vey cool.
*sigh*
For my part, I'm realizing I likely won't be going home. I earn vacation hours, but I'm paid hourly...so basically, for a day like Thanksgiving, I have to use eight of my vacation hours. And I thought I had a bunch built up, but in reality, once I take Christmas and New Year's, I'm going to have to go without pay for at least part of the time when I go down for the wedding. I'm thinking no way can I go a whole week for Christmas, on top of plane fare.
It stinks. But there it is. I do expect I'll get to see Jacinta, though, so there's that. She's at a really, really cute age. And knows it, I think. ;-)
