So, today I get woken up by a knock on my door. Who the hell is knocking on my door at 3:30pm? First, I don't have anyone in my apartment complex that I say are real "friends" but maybe one guy... and it's highly unlike him to just come knocking on my door - especially at that hour. He works during the day, so I rarely see the guy; especially when I'm working these 8:00pm to 4:00am shifts!

Anyhow, pleasant surprise: it was the UPS with a package! Sweeeet! My dad and step-mother had sent me a care-package... I feel like I'm in college again, folks. It was a "sweet" thought though and I appreciate it. The only mail I'm used to receiving is primarily made up of student loan and/or utility bills. So, I open it up only to be treated with all types of goodies. Popcorn, Fiddle-Faddles, hot chocolate... mmm! Somehow, I have a feeling this stuff isn't going to last long.

I have one more of these 8pm-4am shifts tonight, then have the next two days off. It'll be nice, cause there are some things I need to get done around the apartment. Dishes are piling up again. I swear, all it takes is 4 or 5 days... And I can't stand dishes that just sit there! I need to do some laundry and the bathroom needs cleaned. So, I'll probably be hibernating the next couple of days in the apartment, cleaning and doing some chores - whilst saving money and not going out.

I need to save money for Christmas. Unfortunately, I won't be making it home for the holidays this year, but I still want to find something I can send to the family and possibly to some friends for Christmas. My sister and brother-in-law will be coming up December 27th through January 3rd to visit. So, I'm really looking forward to that! I don't get visitors very often, so I'll enjoy that...

Anyhow, I'm getting the munchies and I need to shower and gloss up for work yet! Take care and keep warm... Looks like the eastern half of the country is gonna get their first real arctic blast over the next 2-3 days! It's about time someone else suffers! ;)
