What a gyp it is to be waiting for something that you end up not doing. Procrastination isn't just not nice - it is a terrific waste of time.

It has certainly been an interesting journey and one heck of an amusement ride.

Head tired from not sleeping enough during the week, when I average about 3.5hours per night. I suppose daydreaming with yout eyes open during the week doesn't really count. Already decided on Christmas holiday time. Actually decide by Carole, who wants time off from about 18 Dec until the new year - is it just me or is that 3 weeks? I get 2 for the first time in many years. What am I going to do? Why does Gord want to be at work for the days leading up to Christmas? Doesn't he have anything better to do? Presents to wrap, peoplel to visit? Bottles to buy. Speaking of the buying season - On the bus home from picking up my uniform, I noticed that people are out doing Christmas shopping already. These keeners need to join the other group of people who are being force-fed the lard, but in their case, the grinch needs to empty out the space under their Christmas tree just before they wake up on Christmas morning. Or else fill their stockings with dirt. Coal's too expensive these days.

Will likely be going over to the parents' tomorrow to do some laundry and then to take them out to dinner again. These trips, 'tho nice, are beginning to get somewhat expensive, since I'm doing all the buying. Except for the one time that the place we went to didn't take interac and I only had about $40 in cash on me - the meal came to $80 - so Adrian chipped in what ever he had in his wallet. Otherwise everything else has been my treat so far and I'm going to have to cut back on the family visits.

Que sera sera
