What happened to 2011??? IT IS ALMOST OVER!!!!
I am about to start my hell week at work - 50 hours week. I shouldn't call it that, but I always refer to the 6 day working weeks as hell week. At least it isn't as bad as last time, which was a 52 hour week. Which a friend has next month.
I have rearranged my roster, so I am pretty happy with it. I am working mixed hours over Christmas as Kat leaves for the USA on Christmas day, and I have been invited to something on Boxing day, so we are celebrating Christmas on Christmas Eve. Then dropping Kat at the airport, and sleeping, going to work at 6 on Christmas Day. (Oh and a really great thing about this is that I miss the fire drill this time!!! So happy about that).
I have New Year's Eve and day on, but that is okay. Appparently we get bubbly at midnight :D
I have finally got in touch with my Portuguese host sister. We haven't really been in contact for 7 years. Last time I saw her she was 10, and we kept in contact for a while on and off after that. Now she is 21. Scary how time flies.
Things with my current guy are going softly, softly, slowly, slowly. It is interesting as I think I am being vetted somewhat to see if I fit with his friends and family. Not sure if this is the case, but it is how it feels. So I met his best friend from high school the other day. She is lovely (yes, his best friend is a girl, but I am okay with that as Kat's best friend is a guy). I have met most of his family, and he has met my parents (very briefly) and Kat, of course. Anyway, we had a games night the other night, playing strategy games. It was fun. I do feel bad though that he lives about 50-60km away and does tend to do a LOT of the driving. I should drive more.
What is sad is that I had a brilliant idea about Christmas present in the middle of the night, and now can't remember what I thought of!! GRRR!!! I should have written it down :(
Anyway, I am alive, healthy and I think 80% caught up on my sleep finally :D
