Warning.... redundant post ahead....

I'm going to just type for a bit... but I have an uncanny feeling that I'm going to say a lot of stuff that other journalist's have already said this year...

First of all... What is up with the weather???? Today, if I didn't know better I'd be throwing on shorts & a tank top. It's BEAUTIFUL outside... sunny with blue skies... of course it's only 62 degrees, but it sure doesn't LOOK like November out there.

Next... is there some genetic issue with men that doesn't allow them to figure out how to load (or unload) a dishwasher?

On a different note... I think I may be the only person out here that is NOT excited, nor prepared for the holiday season. I have zero desire to shop, decorate or even think about Christmas. I would love to set up a whole room to crafting, and make some ornaments, wreaths, advent calendars/rings, cards, garlands.... but I doubt that's gonna happen.

I have more than enough crafting supplies to cover everyone on my list with a little something special... but the unemployment/hospital situation has both my energy level and money situation a little on the low side, so everything else holiday related seems a little unreasonable right now. Which sucks... cuz I love to go crazy during the holidays & spoil my sisters... and now with a nephew, even if he's only 3 months old, it's his first Christmas and I want to do something extra special.... maybe something handmade is in order... now I just need to figure out what to make.

Finally, everything on the getting-a-new-job front is looking good. There's only 2 of us that have made it this far, out of the original 180 testers... and then 6 that went thru background.... 2 of us! I should be proud, but all I can do is think about passing the psych & physical, which are both next week. I should have the results the Monday after Thanksgiving only a week or two more of being unsure... I'll be so happy when it's just over and I can actually go to work.

I'm off to do a "sit along" at the PD today... I'll come back and tell ya all about it later....
