Well... this has been a pretty long week... not long as in dragging on rather long simply because I'm so tired now. I did a lot this past week. Worked a lot of course! Anne Marie and I got in a LOT of Skype time, too! Then there was Thanksgiving as well! They had a fabulous spread of food and goodies for our Thanksgiving meal here. It was impressive! :) I somehow managed to still lose a pound for the week after that, too! Now that's something! Saturday night I went to see the new Harry Potter movie... and as I started my walk over to the theater I ran into 3 co-workers, so the 4 of us enjoyed the movie together. It was very good... I can't wait for part 2 in July! I also took a nice walk to the post office earlier in the day Saturday (my day off) and mailed out a surprise! ;) I can say all in all it was a pretty good week. Tonight concludes 12 weeks now. One more makes 3 months!!! Crazy, huh???
I can't believe it's about to be December already. It almost seems surreal to me. How did 3 months pass by that quickly? I see no reason for it to slow down anytime soon, either. I would have to assume that the next 3 months will go by equally fast if not even faster. Time does fly when you're having fun... and sometimes even when you're not! :)
So here I sit watching the Steelers vs. the Buffalo Bills tonight in my room sitting on my bed. My roommate is already down for the count tonight. Me, on the other hand, cannot resist the opportunity to watch my team play every chance I get. I even packed a Terrible Towel in my bags when I left to come here. That's how loyal I am! :)
Something really nice happened today as well. I noticed on the mail list from yesterday that I'd received a package in the mail. I wasn't expecting anything, so I was very curious. I did not recognize the sender. It was from an organization of a "support the troops" sort of nature. I was surprised to see it was a handmade Christmas afghan! It's gorgeous, too! It's already on my bed as a comforter. The irony of it is that I was thinking how I could use a nice warm blanket, and look what shows up on my "doorstep". I will have to post of picture of it sometime soon. I think it's wonderful when people take so much time out of their own busy days and schedules to do things like this for an ordinary Joe like me. I have no idea how or why I was chosen, but I'm grateful to no end. There have been several other similar gifts sent at different times, too, and it amazes me.
I think I will end on that note this fine Sunday night in the desert... the end of week 12. I'm going to relax and watch the rest of the football game now and then enjoy a rather short sleep tonight. It's ok, though. It's worth it to me. The following morning is my late day, so I will catch up a little then. :) Take care, and I hope everyone has enjoyed their Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Peace, Love, and Poker
