Well, am I sick, or aren't I?

I know saying 'aren't I?'is horrible grammar, but I've never figured out a better way of saying it...except "am I not?" but, come on... Anyway, if I'm going to get sick, I wish I would already. For two or three days, I have had a sore throat and just been a little tired, and today I feel just a little bit achey too. But I haven't actually gotten sick. Is this as sick as I'm going to get? Weird. Okay, back to my coffee.

Two days ago already

I hope my friend had a happy birthday two days ago. It's the easiest birthday in the world to remember. I don't think he has texting anymore, so I didn't send him a message.

Christmas

I pretty much know what i'm getting for Christmas...mainly because my mom keeps sending me emails that were meant for my brother. This has happened twice so far; the second time, I didn't even bother mentioning it. too funny. It reminds me of when I was in high school, and I, or my brother, got my Dad a tie for Father's Day, and my mom came into the kitchen asking, "Has he opened his tie yet?" Well, no actually he hadn't. There went that surprise!

Mild Grumble

It bothers me when people underestimate people. I was just reading a recipe for a cocktail--on a list of cocktail recipes--and it said something about people not liking when ingredients stray too much from their comfort zone. It just reminded me of how people say not to talk about religion or politics at parties and stuff. I mean, are people that shitty that they can't handle a new ingredient, or a different opinion from theirs? Maybe people really do suck that much, but we shouldn't bow down to them. Let them improve a little rather than everyone else going down to lowest common denominator.

Breaking glass

That opera last night was very screechy. I liked it all in all, but I don't like when the voices are soooo high-pitched! Good songs though. Now I want to see the non-opera version of Porgy and Bess. We left at intermission (!) so I don't even know what happens! We went out for burgers and beer. Funny!

Today

We're going to see Porgy and Bess at the opera tonight. YAY! I'm looking forward to it! Oh, and I had an interview today for a part-time job. YAY! So the only hard part left is not putting pajamas on. Keep my interview clothes on for tonight; so hard. I'm not accustomed to being dressed up...especially at home!

Hanukkah and Christmas

People should be required to send a different list of stuff they want to each person they know. Otherwise, people all get them the same things! I got my nephew a gift, then my brother said someone else is getting him that. So I'm going to give that to my niece instead. But then, what do I get Noah? Anything on his list will be gotten for him! And then, once she sends me her list, I'm not going to get anything that she lists! Also, my silly mom accidentally sent me the list of things she's planning on getting me for Christmas, when she meant to send it to my brother! UGH! Now I have to try to forget!

Interview(s)

I went to an interview today at Binny's. I think it went well; it's just a little mortifying to be considering a retail job after working in the office environment for so long. I haven't worked retail in ...almost 20 years. That means I'm old. But hey, getting a discount there would be cool, although that wasn't mentioned. Then I also got an email today asking to schedule a phone interview for an office job. YAY! Hopefully, I can talk to her tomorrow. Applying for a retail job kind of got me re-enthused about office jobs. You know? It seems so much easier. Either way...money coming in would be nice. There are pros and cons to both environments too. But if I get the job at Binny's, i have to work Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. That's a big negative, but it comes with the territory.
