I am a snooze gone bad...

It sucks to be working during the holidays...I remember back when during college, hs, elem, we always got breaks, like 2 or 3-weekers. Those were the best. Although many of those days were spent just bumming around, it was nice. There are even some places I know where people work that close down for a week(between x-mas and the new year). That would be awesome.

I'm almost done w/ my x-mas shopping list. Just about 6 people to I think... I got pop Laker tickets, but I still have to find something else for him, becuase it's an x-mas/b-day gift. I can't believe this will be the first game I'm going to with him. We never did that kind of stuff together when I was younger, go to ball games, all that. He was very busy working(along with mom) trying to fund our education and so that we wouldn't have to really worry about much. Well, now that he is retired, we have the chance to do these things, so I'ma try to take advantage of those times. Anyway, back to the list. I was able to go to the outlets once...target and the mall and other places during lunch, and I'm hoping maybe I can hit up the outlets again...though I mostly find stuff for myself at the outlets...argh. Control though...need to buy for OTHER people...at least for another 2 weeks, he he he. I haven't done as much on-line shopping as everyone else...or even as much as I thought I would have this year. I only got 2 things online...everything else was in person. Weird weird weird. But I do like being in the mall during the holidays...all the festive decorations, so many people...though I don't enjoy the long lines and the chaotic parking lots... Tis the season though.

My game got cancelled last night. Apparently, some people didn't wanna play since we weren't in contention for the championship, which I think really sucks. I was bummed...I just wanted to play...and it was supposed to be my x-training day instead of running. Because of that game, I ended up not doing any exercise at all. Argh. Looks like I'll have to run today tomorrow and friday then... Anyway, it seems to have worked out for the best...I was supposed to hang out w/ Jos yesterday and go shopping and stuff. It turns out she got pretty sick, so I just helped take care of her at my folks' place. It was weird, she had a fever of about 102 and she was sweating and cramping and all that stuff. I felt bad for her and we almost took her to urgent care. So we called my auntie Crystal to ask her what we should do. She said that urgent care wouldn't do anything and we'd be there for hours on end, unless her fever topped 102.5. She had this same thing a few weeks ago...apparently a lot of people are getting it(I think Joesan had it) and it lasts for like 2 or 3 weeks sometimes. So be careful out there folks. She came by and dropped off some codeine-laced cold medication for her and some other stuff, which seemed to really do the job, because she was totally able to go to work today.

Goin to run after work today and then goin back to hang out w/ the folks' didn't see mom yesterday. Hope I don't get back home too late...I really have to try and sleep earlier.
