Just had some Jehovah's Witnesses at the door (could feel the power in the pamphlets they handed me). I was polite, allowed them to read to me a little bit, wished them a good day, closed the door, and threw the pamphlets in the trash.

Saw August Rush yesterday. I've two words for you: Oliver Twist with Katy and Abby. Did the usual, was fed and watered @ Islands, ignored the general populace as I played the straight man to their normal insanity, put my two cents in as much as possible, raided a book store (bought a copy of "The Looking Glass Wars"), sat and chatted about our general hopes and dreams for the future.

They've moved the filing room at The Clinic. While there's less square footage in the room I have more space to move around in. And, while I still don't have anything resembling a desk or table, and my stool was 'stolen,' I do now have a radio and the ability to close the door due to feeling like a monkey at the zoo when it's open.

Thanksgiving didn't go as well as everyone'd like @ The Shoppe. While, we didn't have any complaints the day(s) after we didn't sell as much as we did the year previous. But that's to be expected because as I understand it the housing market's in a slump, and that the U.S. dollar has taken a few hits (isn't the Canadian dollar now worth more?), that lending and loans are stricture, and people don't want to spend what little money the have left after filling their cars with gas.

Semester's almost over. Scary. I'm not sure if I'm ready for my finals. The first one is this Wednesday and the second is a week from Wednesday.
---
I've finally made an appointment to get my eyes checked for new glasses. It's been about 5 years since I got the ones I'm wearing now and I haven't had a checkup since.
---
Lastly, I've decided to buy an Amazon Kindle instead of buying myself a laptop this Christmas. I've already ordered it and it should come in the mail buy the 11th. I hope that it shows up earlier.
