But I've been avoiding LJ for a few days. I had to get my thoughts in order. They're still swirling a bit, but I wanted to do at least some sort of an update.
So we bullet-point.
Work: Gearing up for 1099R season. Come January 2nd, I will be flat-out for a month (but only a month!) so don't expect a lot of content until after Feb. 14 (because Feb. 7 I board a plane to MEXICO!!!). I'll try, but I promise nothing.
On the upside, I'm enjoying this job. I'm still a bit unsure when it comes to talking about funds and things like that, but I'm learning. And it's really interesting, which helps.
Personal: Christmas was awesome. Spent the day with
caitlindancer and the rest of the family, who are sadly LJ-less. Got to see the Pumpkin open her gifts. Got lots of good loot, including a rice cooker and a mandoline! Very excited.
Friday,
argus7hills and I went out for Chinese food, bought a digital camera and went home to play WoW all day. I now have the expansion, but as my highest character is a 41 (yeah, yeah, I'm working on it) I haven't loaded it yet. Not sure I want a death knight anyways. Although I probably will.
Saturday was another family day - I have some amazing pics of the Pumpkin sledding in the back yard. Then we went over to
aishabintjamil and
peregrine's house and hung out for a while. Then home to more WoW.
Sunday was SUPPOSED to be Rock the Rum, but I woke up hacking up lungs, so we cancelled. :( We'll have to do a repeat!!! We must! I promise to be healthy next time!
Writing: My muse has gone into the bar on a bender, and when I try and interest him in either revising Dreams or worldbuilding for Mirrors, he gives me drek with over-muscled guys in loinclothes and chicks in chainmail bikinis. It's horrible. Worse than horrible. It makes Conan the Barbarian or Gor look like High Literature.
I think he's staging a revolution. I'm going to let him stew for a while in his martini, and then we'll see what comes out.
In the meantime, I need to get my hunter to 42...
Oh, and
starlitears, my ships are up again!
