Y8 D160

Woke up to annoying emails from the UK folks. They want to block out two days at the end of this month to do the follow up training but they failed to elaborate on what they want to do and what times. You know, logical things like that. Now I have to wait until they respond but it's already 2pm for them. Let's see if I get a response today.

Worked on a new class yesterday. Didn't get as much done as I would have hoped, but got some stuff done. I need to buckle down today and get a good chunk of the class completed. I want it done by Friday but that will require some diligence on my part. It's so much easier when I teach. My day is clear cut and I know what's expected of me. Open ended days are harder for me because I get distracted easily. Oh well.

I started putting together a Christmas shopping list. As of right now I have $600 in Amazon gift cards. With roughly 41 gifts in the list the total comes out to about $730. $130 out of pocket for Christmas is not bad. That also includes about $80 for gifts for B's family and one of her friends. For gifts for us I am only $50 over the budget. Most people spend hundreds out of pocket on Christmas for a dozen gifts or less. I am very lucky that I can spend a couple hundred and end up with 40+ gifts under the tree. I am not complaining one bit.

B's cousin did it again. Another bad decision in my mind. First off, they live in a one bedroom apartment with a loft. They already had two ferrets and a dog who pees on everything. So what did they decide was a smart move? They got a cat! Fucking idiots. It's these kind of choices that just make me shake my head. These are the kind of people who in six months will be starting a gofundme looking for help because they can't afford to keep feeding and treating four pets. Plus they just threw the cat into all of this. No separation period, no adjustment. Just here's your new home, deal with all this crazy in this small space. I am not taking that cat in when it gets tough. How are they getting this many pets in an apartment? Well, they are also the kind of people who take advantage and exploit 'service animal' laws. Don't tell me your fucking dog is a service animal when it can't sit still, when it jumps on people, when it pees all over. You're just using that term to get around having so many animals. She actually has the dog and the ferrets listed as service animals. Such bullshit. I am not going to go over there and walk their animals when they are off climbing some stupid mountain. I have made my share of bad decisions, but this is getting crazy. Not my concern. Until it becomes my concern.

Played some wow, watched some tv, had leftovers for dinner. We started watching a new show, Timeless. B liked it. I am on the fence still. There's five episodes so far and we thought we would check it out. It's not bad, but it feels like it's been done before. Let's see where it goes.

Still no reply from the UK. Let's go work on docs.
