I am currently at the Toyota dealership getting a "major" service done on my car and, needless to say, I'll be here for a few hours. I am tired and the weather is crappy and I just want to go back to bed. Even though its been almost 2 months since I wrote last, there isn't much to talk about. There is never really much to talk about so I don't know why I'm still even doing this. Anywho.
November 6th, this country elected Obama for a second term. There was no way in hell I was going to live in a country with a president named "Mitt" What a douche.
Work has been uneventful since the most unfortunate incident (although I did cut up someones finger removing a wedding band with teflon tape...awesome, go me). I helped with another spay and neuter clinic at UVHS and it was another good experience although the vet assistant or whatever she is was a bitch and I wanted to punch her in the face. One of these days I will physically assault someone and it'll feel great. I have a lot of anger sometimes.
Logan's superhero 5th birthday party was the 17th.
Thanksgiving fell on the 22nd this year and it was a busy day. I began the day with the Sunapee Turkey Trot with a 9 am start up Burkehaven hill. My time was 30:28 which is not bad considering that damn hill. My goal was climb that hill without having to stop jogging and that's what I did. I headed to my merm's after to relax, watch the parade and shower. I got off my butt to go get Cora and her presence for the rest of the day proved to be interesting. I won't get into it but let's just say she has a strong, overbearing personality that doesn't quite fit in. I had to work my usual 12 hours the day before and after Tday (same for Christmas) which is unpleasant. Staffing at work is less than ideal and sometimes I feel like I want to contribute to it. In years past, I've just been given extra time off around holidays...not this year. What's the point of earned time when you can't use it?
Most of my Christmas shopping is done...with a few things here and there to go to tie up loose ends. I did my final 5k in Concord December 8th...the Jingle Bell Run. I'm slowing down because I haven't been running as much, I have a feeling I will lose what I've gained since July during the winter. My time was 29:29. I was supposed to go yesterday but I do not have motivation when it's snowing. Maybe I'll get around to joining a gym.
On Friday, something terrible happened in an elementary school in Newtown, CT. A mentally disturbed 20 year old entered the building and shot and killed 20 kids and 6 adults. What human beings are capable of doing to one another is beyond my understanding and ability to cope. I am saddened and scared to live in a world where evil happens every day. Sometimes I really feel that life sucks and then you die. Luckily, I was headed to Mont Vernon for the night to spend time with friends I hadn't seen in 6 months. It kept my mind off children being murdered in cold blood. We went out for some mexican food, spent a few hours at the mall and I hung out with Madison the following day until I had to leave.
I went from Mont Vernon to Concord to meet the fam for some birthday celebrations at the OG. I now have a niece who is a legal adult. Afterwards, we all went to Henniker for cake and ice cream and some partook in a little bit of dancing. For a special birthday, a trip is in the works for further celebration.
I hope my car is ready soon...I need a nap.
