I like Electricity

So, my many plans for finishing up wrapping gifts and doing Christmas cards, and such last night? Hard to do when the power went out just after 7, and didn't come back until almost 10:30. I'd just put a can of soup on the stove for supper, so supper actually consisted of mini rice cakes, a granola bar, and some fudge. Yeah, that's healthy :-) I then spent the night re-reading Memory by candlelight, so I guess the night wasn't a complete loss.

So, tonight, I have to do my laundry, finish the wrapping & cards, clean up my apartment, and generally get ready to go. Tomorrow, R&C are coming over for dinner & the whole gift-exchange thing, Thursday I'll pack, and Friday I have Christmas dinner for work, hopefully getting together with mycrazyhair, and seeing M. Then Saturday, I'm off! Home for a week - it should be good. I certainly hope I'll get some relaxing in there.

It's kinda funny, writing this - the rest of the year, home, for me, is here in Toronto. Christmastime, though, it's always my parent's place. They're not even living in the house I grew up in anymore, but their house is still "home", come this time of year. I guess, really, that they are home.

Oh, hey. I didn't realize there was any chance of seeing you on Friday. I thought the work thing was going to take all evening. I'll hit town around 7ish and am then supposed to meet up with Cath and go to Golden Thai. When might you be free?

Oh, I thought we'd said that we would try to get together on Friday, but maybe we won't make it. Dinner should be over around 7 or 7:30, but I've also got to hook up with M at some point. I thought that you would be in earlier, and done dinner with Cath fairly early so that we could meet up right after, but I'm not sure if that will work. Anyway, I'll give you a call tonight or tomorrow night, 'Kay?

Yeah, I've got to work until five-ish on Friday, so I won't be in town until after you're done dinner and looking for M. I'm heading straight to my brother's place, and will meet Cath there, but knowing her, it'll be a long evening. (Seeing you would be nice, if possible!)

Anyway, call me tonight, or I'll call you. Tomorrow looks less good, time-wise, for a call.
