Well, I'm glad to see the end of 2010. My job's sucked worse than usual - three months on probation, no raise; I've finally cut off from my family which makes me sad, although it's less painful than trying to connect with people who think I'm evil ... and crazy; I've had ... 'flu? sinus infection? since December 6 and am only now starting to feel better; and, to top it off, on Dec. 16, I fell and managed to sprain my back and bruise my ribs ... which still hurts.
2011 had better be an improvement ... although it almost has to be, doesn't it?
Dear Secret Santa,
Eeeee! The box arrived today, and is wonderful! Alice In Wonderland notecards and earrings, an Edward Gorey calendar (particularly useful, since the House o' Reason hasn't managed to get a new calendar yet, but I've got a squillion events to write on it), a jewelry box, tombstone erasers, skull key toppers, a new tiny minion for Clovis (both Clovis and the new minion are looking particularly smug), and a white ceramic picture frame fetchingly decorated with blood splatter! Thank you very much!
Around my house, the Elves Union has finally finished their contracted break-time, and are going to the post office tomorrow.
Oh, Todd, I certainly hope 2011 is better for you. You deserve a very good year!
Eeeee! The box arrived today
That was quick! I'm so glad you like it!
In No Good Deed Goes Unpunished news, I stopped by my parents' place after work tonight and finally got their TV to recognize the DVD player they were given for Christmas so they can watch movies. And then came home to find a bill from the oral surgeon for the $1400+ of the wisdom tooth extraction costs that my insurance was supposed to be paying.
Argh. I knew I was going to be late with my present (which is why I signed up for the slacker exchange), but I just found out today that the main part of it is going to be delayed getting to me, so now I'm going to be REALLY late.
I suck.
Have you lost part of your present in the house? Then you don't suck.
Me, on the other hand...
Not yet.
There's still time though.
I evidently got A Package last week, but the Roommate put it in a place that any reasonable human being would notice!
The upside is that I get a little bit of Xmas this week, courtesy of amyth! Which includes a tiara, pen, notepad, waterbottle, and what fills my heart with ultimate joy: an elegant rhinestone necklace. When my face isn't all swollen from sleep, I'll take a picture....
Thank you, Secret Santa Amyth!
Oh yay! I'm so glad you got it!
There was a package waiting on my doorstep! Lisa was my santa and she bought me amazing looking chocolate, some lovely B'more made candy canes and a hilarious Crab ornament. I can't wait to dig in to the chocolate. Thanka you so much!
Edited, because there's nothing satanic about Lisa. She's Santariffic!
