Fair enough
Nov. 21st, 2023 09:18 amI was a bit annoyed that I had to work this past Sunday considering A and I had made vague plans to do a bit of Christmas shopping before the whole rush started but alas, it was not to be. I'm hoping I'll have next Sunday off so we can make up for it! On the other hand, I can't really complain because two good things came out of it: I'm not working on Thanksgiving (we close early at 6pm on that day anyway) and all my shifts are morning shifts. Yay no middays!
(Which reminds me, I still need to let the boss know to keep Sunday 12/17 open as that's when A and I are going to the Nutcracker this year.)
Mind you, our Christmas shopping these days isn't so much about bulk buying all sorts of huge gifts but to pick up fun things for either our own enjoyment or to send to friends as care packages: snacks, silly cards and toys, things like that. And we've pretty much given up on the tree this year considering that A Certain Cat (yes, it's Cali) thinks it's hers and thus climbable. One can only wonder what chaos would ensue if we'd had a real six-footer tree set up on the floor...
And speaking of Christmas, I am very curious as to what the first holiday song I hear will be. I can't really count the pumped-in music at work considering I hear it all day long and thus playing Whamageddon would put me out of the running within hours. Amusingly I thought I'd heard a Christmas song at the cafe across the street from the store the other day, only to belatedly realize that it wasn't "What Child Is This" but merely Ralph Vaughan Williams' 'Fantasia on Greensleeves', heh.
And lastly, I got my Covid and flu shots yesterday and thankfully I am feeling just fine, other than waking up multiple times pre-dawn due to having one hell of a migraine for some reason. So I'm just going to enjoy the day by doing laundry, listening to music and doing some writing.
Hope everyone has a good week!
