Feeling Very Blah
Dec. 29th, 2008 03:59 pmI was expecting to write y'all a Christmas wrap-up today, in between getting a ton of work done at the office. Instead, I have gotten nothing done. Either work or LJ-wise
At some point I contracted a cold, and I can't breathe or concentrate, and generally feel like yuck today. What with the getting of my monthly visitor on Friday, the dehydration from several days of wine drinking, the sweating from the abrupt switch to 60F temperatures yesterday, and the stuffyness from smoking too much this weekend, I didn't notice I was getting sick until this morning when I arrived at work.
On the gift (receiving) front: I got the gold hoops I asked for, a case for my sewing machine, some gift certificates, and a couple of really pretty ornaments. On the gift (giving) front: Mom loved her stuff, I got big reactions from my cousins to gifts I wasn't sure about (Yay!), but my father's gift was a total bust. Unfortunately, even after I offered to convert the records to CD's for him, or allow him to return the thing, he seems stuck on what I thought he was going to do with it because he doesn't have an MP3 player. I tried explaining the 'put the MP3's onto CD's using the computer' concept to him several times, but all I got was a blank look. Oh, well. I may just have to go and return it myself, and get him the more expensive version record-to-CD converter for early-Father's-Day and Christmas combined - or something. At least that one he seems to understand.
In other news, I have two chapters of FAA on my laptop that I'm not really happy with, but that I feel compelled to post because I did such a bad job getting fic written and posted in 2008, and I want to do better in 2009. I'm traveling for New Years (I think) so maybe I'll get some work done then. Also, I need to find my account registration info for fanfiction.net, so I can update my page there. It's got to be a year since I did that.
More later, now I need more coffee.
