Back to my normal grind for work. Up at the butt crack of the morning to get ready to train. Two days of the most technical class we do. Five students scheduled for it as well. This is going to be a long two days. I can already feel it. But it's just two days and I have had a very light load the last week and a half. The big news from yesterday is Christmas has already arrived in our house. Yeah I know. We bought a bunch of presents while we were in the park because we didn't know if we'd have a chance to go back there before the actual holidays. Based on the trips I booked yesterday, I am not going anywhere in December unless it is work related. As a result we had a need for wrapping paper and tape and boxes. That led to us deciding we needed a tree. We happened to be at Target yesterday getting some other stuff for the house and they had a sale on trees. We ended up getting a 5' pre-lit fir for $60. It's the perfect size, good number of lights, etc. We then stopped at the dollar store for wrapping paper and tape. When we got home and had everything situated we felt pretty good. While we were eating dinner (nice chicken breasts with couscous and sauteed veggies) we both kept staring at the tree with its all of four ornaments. So at 8pm we said screw it and headed back to target. We got 50 little ornaments, some strands of beads, and did this charlie brown tree up right. It looks pretty good. Even if it 40 something days until Christmas. It was nice doing something like this again. Still way too early, but it still feels pretty good. As of last night there are 33 presents under the tree. 6 or 7 for the kid, the remaining for us. BUT like my usual nut job self, some of them are ridiculous. Like one pair of socks. Or a shopping bag. B is about to learn how goofy I can be this time of year. Watched Agents of Shield and went to bed. Slept hard too. Need another 4 or 5 hours to be right, but still feel okay. Had some weird dreams including one where I was trying to give people cheese. Um okay.

Time to start this class.
