Kristen's My Name, Random's My Game

• I am officially on vacation...From now until January 4th, 11:59 p.m. my time is my own.
  

• I'm 2 presents away from being done, done, done with my Christmas shopping. Actually wrapping them is a whole 'nother story...

• Someone in my complex has a dog that keeps shitting everywhere. Clean up after your fucking dog, dammit! No one wants to smell dog crap every time they walk outside, or have to keep watching their step. And it's obviously a fairly small dog, but that makes it even worse, because then you really have to watch closely where you're stepping. Next time my dog comes over, I'll be sure to show you what real dog poop looks like (before I chuck it in the bin, thank you very much.)
  

• I made so many holiday cookies, I'm running out of people to force them on. (But in my defense, I have been getting a lot of compliments...But maybe they're just scared of me since I forced cookies on them.)

• Today we had a Savor the Season/Thank God the Semester's Over potluck where we had to bring a dish that was from our heritage. So I brought rice (duh) and adobo...though I noticed the other Filipino girl in my office didn't even try it. Snotty Pinay...

• The last couple of days I've been thinking I'm coming down with a sinus infection...I've only had a gajillion of them in my lifetime, so I've got the signs and symptoms down pretty pat. Normally, I would just ride it out, but being so close to my recovery from the wretched cold, as well as with the holidays looming, I didn't want to have to deal with that shit, so I broke down and went to the doctor. Let me just say, I abhor going to the doctor. The waiting forever, being surrounded by sick people, having to get weighed and measured and poked and prodded. Yuck. And when I called, I found out that my doctor (a non-snotty Pinay) is out of the country until next year, but they could fit me in with someone else. Boo. But I was willing to do it. I had the first appointment after lunch, so I got right in. They did the vitals thing (though getting on a scale mere minutes after indulging in a Thank God the Semester's Over luncheon is not a good idea), the doctor came in shortly after...and essentially I paid a $10 co-pay for her to tell me to continue with my over the counter remedies. Blast!
  

• Between wrapping up the semester, shopping, doctor's appointments, vet appointments (for Sirius, not me), pedicure appointments, baking, cooking and dodging shit piles, I've neglected my house duties. Anyone like to wash clothes, dishes, bathtubs, etc? No? Come on...I have cookies!!
