Sent off the homework, and they "hope to get back to me by the end of next week." Which is fine, but I thought they wanted to move quickly! At this rate I wouldn't even be able to give notice before January, assuming I got the job.

I hope you hear good news from them soon, Jesse.
I'm trying to decide if I genuinely feel crappy or if it's a bad case of the "don't wannas". I'm leaning toward the former.

I went for a solid 3 years without getting a cold. Now I'm going into my third week of this cold. I thought I had beaten it back; turns out it just didn't like Chicago. Now I'm home and my sinuses are in revolt and I'm counting the minutes until I can take another slug of cough syrup.
So, bah. At least the dog walker is coming today so the Boss won't lose her mind with boredom.

I had a pretty awful respiratory thing in mid- late-November and it seemed to pass on its own but now I have weird throat phlegm and keep losing my voice. It's weird. I don't feel uncomfortable or sick, just this one thing.

I haven't been sick with a cold in three or four years either, and this year I have a weird lingering thing. Its driving me nuts!

My chair just got delivered to the office! I anticipate lots of swearing tonight after dinner, but hopefully I'll have it assembled and be seated comfortably before bedtime.

I also have a lingering cold. Ugh.
Eta I hope shrift is sleeping.
I was, but the earthquake woke me up. And then my shuttle never showed up, so I stood in the rain for half an hour and I'm probably going to be late to my class.

It was a "Wait, is that an earthquake?" and not a "JESUS CHRIST EARTHQUAKE."

That's good, at least!
This Christmas-on-the-weekend thing is really bumming me out. Like, when am I going to do anything to prepare? I just got a bee in my bonnet about making cretons (french-canadian pork spread) and maybe giving it to family members, but no. The weekend prior is my mother's big party, so that will take up that whole weekend. Oy vey. (Which I thought was a French expression as a child because I only heard it from my Memere!) I guess I can make it after Christmas and just keep it for me!
