I had a decent day. I was mean to my sister without trying to be and I hope I didn't piss her off. For Christmas we bought her something she needed. For the first time I actually thought about what someone else wanted and instead of getting a gift card or nothing at all, I bought a gift. Unfortunately my niece with whom we entrusted said gift, misplaced it. She says we never gave it to her, we know for a fact it's not in this house. I asked my sister to look for it probably a little more direct than I should have. I just want her to have her gift you know? It was a gift that I put some thought into and it sucks she didn't get it. Hopefully she will forgive my brusqueness.

Got as much done for the client as I could without being on their network. I am 50% done with their custom training. He was supposed to send me stuff Tuesday morning and here it is Thursday. I cannot move forward without stuff from him. I hate when clients have no hard date. I would rather have the urgency of getting things done than "oh I will get those to you" and then have to wait.

I did manage to rearrange my desk. I like it. I moved some machines around and it freed up quite a bit of desk space. The machines are a little closer together but so far this is not an issue. It's much cleaner and a better use of space.

Made chicken for dinner. B is working on a blanket and is happily crocheting away at night. We watched a little tv, read a bit, and went to bed around 10. My eyes were really bothering me yesterday and I had to take my contacts out early.

I did do something kind of fun in the morning. Here in OR you can easily recycle bottles and cans. They have self service machines everywhere. I took all of ours for the first time to one of these places. Pretty cool. I ended up only making $2 and change, but it was enough that the asparagus I bought was only .11. Yay me.

We also made plans for a trip in April. Our friend is having her 39th birthday and we are going to drive down to surprise her. I told her husband we are coming but not to tell his wife. This should be a fun time. We will get to see a lot of people in one shot in one location. We're leaving early Saturday and coming home late Sunday. A bit of a whirlwind trip, but worth it.

Today I wait for the documents I need and see if I will be going into their local office tomorrow. The waiting game is the worse game ever.
