Wow, it's been a while since I've felt compelled to write anything..and I guess there's not a whole lot to say these days. Thanksgiving we headed to Ryan's mom's after work. They'd already eaten, but the food was still warm. After eating we headed over to see his great grandma. We took her a plate of food. She was in a good mood, which is always a plus. She has Alzheimer's, so it's a hit or miss usually. The home she's in has done a lot of good for her, though, and she's generally in a better mood than she was before she went in.
Black Friday was insane. I was exhausted, and between two jobs I was scheduled for an 18 hour day. Left the airport a little early to come home for a quick nap before heading out for my first day at the Picture People in almost two years...on Black Frickin' Friday! I did passably, I guess. Nothing spectacular, but nothing horrendous. When I went in yesterday they had me do nothing but shoot, so I guess they didn't have any serious complaints. Admittedly I'm a perfectionist about my shooting, but when someone says, "wow, you're a really good photographer" on one of my shittier sittings...I get concerned. Anyway, moving on...
Saturday I was wobbly and sore, but we still made it out to Reading for a mead tasting. I picked up a few oils I've been needing, and we drank some pretty tasty mead. We then decided that we hadn't found our Yule gifts for this weekends ritual, so we drove out to Dover to pay a visit to Bell Book and Candle, which is an amazing little store in many ways...and not at all invalidated by the fact that they sell Sandman graphic novels. Found our Yule gifts, made an adult decision against our wills not to buy anything for us, and headed home.
Sunday I worked another ridiculous double. I signed up for 4 hours OT, got extended for another 4...I know we need the money, but geesh! Two in one week!?! I made it, though, and got through all day Monday. After work we headed to Franklin Mills for a few new crystals for our door grid and some Christmas presents. Five Below had DVD's for $5, so we got a couple movies and headed home.
Tuesday I had to work at the mall, and it went alright. I was never really out of a sitting for more than 10 minuites, so I got home in beat up shape. Ryan wasn't home, so I bummed around and napped until he came home to wake me up. We wore each other out, made some soup, and watched a movie. It was a wonderful night...er, early morning. We passed out at the end of Knocked Up somewhere around 5am and slept until yesterday afternoon. All we really did yesterday was go to target for some new sheets, afew groceries, and some Christmas presents. It was a nice, lazy day around the apartment...something we don't get very often.
Today I woke up and ended up flat on my face three times in ten minutes...it was NOt a day to be at work. I've gotten a few things done, but mostly I've slept. Not a great day, but not the worst I guess. At the moment I'm trying to work up the energy to make meatballs for sauce. Meh. The life.
