Nov. 19th, 2005 07:45 pmAn update in list format, simply because.
The thing with the holiday cards, I might add, is partly because I feel so depressed I can't go home for the holidays, and I really want to have some sort of something to mark the time of year, which has always been among my favorites simply because it's A Special Time and people do things they wouldn't otherwise. So I hope to at least feel special for having mailed cards. A feeble sort of hope, but it's better than the sitting around feeling sorry for myself I did last year. (Which was heavily mitigated by having had The Thanksgiving Of Awesomeness at home.)
- I got out early today. Came home and was so excited to be home IN DAYLIGHT! Got Z out so we could take a picture to put on holiday cards. First time we've both been home together in daylight for months.
- I am determined to send out holiday cards this year. Anyone who wants one, please email me your address!! I am trying to think of an excuse to send more cards to more people. More! More! I am so determined to send out cards... I've never succeeded before...
- Photo on computer, I went to Snapfish to order holiday cards with it. Am sorely, sorely tempted by their silly Kwanzaa card. Can I send out Kwanzaa cards please please please? Want to ask Z what he thinks, but he is asleep.
- I also finally managed, it being daylight and I being home at the same time as Z, to get the couch in from the porch and into the living room.
- The couch is now in the exact center of the living room. Eh well. Cleaning can come later.
- I made dinner tonight. The ingredients: Money. (I bought pizza and wings. Oh so tasty.)
- We are house/dog/cat sitting for Z's mom while she's living it up with a San Diego Thanksgiving. Lucky her.
- We are happy to be house sitting because for the sake of the dog/cat she has the thermostat set at 72. I am so warm and comfortable I barely know what to do with myself.
- I believe I am going to go home for Thanksgiving. How, you say? You don't have Thanksgiving off! And I answer: I know, but I have the 2 days before. Yes, I am going to be ridiculous enough to drive home Monday night. Fi and Ann will be home late Wednesday: I am seriously considering staying there Weds and just coming back Thurs morning in time to get to work. Work is at 11. It's 5.5 hrs without traffic. Yes, I will have to leave at 5 am. Will it be worth it? I think it will.
- Am thoroughly sleepy. Never really woke up today.
- Think I'm going to bed now.
