Cold Toes...And I Don't Know Why
Nov. 20th, 2003 02:22 pmAll the holes in my socks happen to be in the heels, at that.
Poor Aki could not enjoy his party last night, he had four degrees of fever. He ate a piece of pizza, opened his presents, and sacked out on the couch. He's much better today and is bounding around as usual.
Slight angst over the timing of my Xmas holidays (WARNING WARNING MINOR WORK-RELATED GRIPING AHEAD) - I have 11 days of vacation which I must take before the end of the year or it's simply gone. I never realized how much time I had because in each of the previous four years I have had to use up all my vacation time recovering from surgeries. So this year, I happen not to be chopped up like pineapple meat, and find myself at leisure.
Well - potentially so... Boss is paranoid about there not being enough flunkies around to look after whatever might come up while she's off on her holidays, so while I would prefer to take my time off in one block, I may have to take it in several disruptive chunks Because Something Might Happen. I'd actually be OK with it either way, I just wish she would make a decision so I could make some decisions in turn, instead of holding things over my head....
The other night I was rummaging around in a drawer for some camera film and found a roll that had been exposed in August but for some reason I had stashed in the bag of unexposed film. I thought it was a Lost Roll from Burning Man but had it developed today and it was mostly pictures from the Tuvan Independence Day party before I left for Nevada. Mostly just faces looming up out of the dark, too, no context at all.
