 Woohoo! I slept in until 6am! Given that I have been up early all week, I will take a 6am sleep. Find the positive where you can.

I had the pleasure of turning on my out of office yesterday at 1pm. For internal folks, they will be greeted with a lovely limerick:

As this year comes to an end,
we've missed seeing family and friend
but please be smart
wear a mask and stay six feet apart
For your funeral I don't want to attend.

I think that summarizes the year pretty well, don't you?

Class went quite well. I was extremely fortunate to finish the year up with one of the best groups I've had the pleasure of teaching. They were all sharp, focused, on time, and we ended up finishing about 30 minutes early. I love groups like that and to have it be the last one of the year was just the icing on the cake.

Speaking of icing on the cake, we binged four episodes of BBO last night. Only a few more to go and we will be all caught up on the series. Best series ever. Wholesome, kind, and makes me want to bake. I might make some crepes today as a result of watching the show.

After class, I went to the grocery store and the pet store to avoid having to go there today. Smart move. It wasn't too horrible at the store when I went. Advantage of going out on a Friday whilst all the blue collar folk are still working. 

My second to last Christmas packages should arrive today. Just one more on Monday and I will have everything. I have been getting worried some stuff wouldn't arrive in time. The stuff from the kid will be late and she feels horrible about it. B's stuff from her should make it on time, but my stuff is set for January. Oh well. Is what it is. It's not like we don't have enough stuff to open in the absence.

As for me, I have a list of things I want to accomplish while off. I do figure I can get most done this weekend, but some may take a few days. Here's my goal list:

• finish moving clothes
• move dresser
• hang clothes
• caramelize apples
• hang pop shelf
• move games
• dishes
• eyebrows
• nails
• wrap final presents

Not a comprehensive list, but the immediate stuff I need to handle. Like I said, most of it I will finish today or tomorrow. 

161 hours to go.
