Holiday @ MindSay

As tomorrow is a holiday, I thought I'd put an entry out there.

Today was good. Everyone is de-stressing at work, even though the Customer Service Fun is just about to begin. I think it's because I'm working with the Corporate Sales people this year. Now that all the actual SALES are in, they can shift their focus out of the sellsellsellsellsellsellsellsellsell mode that tends to make people cranky.

Today was a half day. Like, in at 7:30 (an un-holy hour at best) and out at 11:30. And, I don't have to work again until Monday. Sweet.

Also, they keep extending the time that I'm staying in my current position. At some point, I will be released back into the world of inbound calls, but no one can make up their mind as to when, which suits me just fine. I was supposed to go back last Monday, then it was switched to this coming Monday, and now I'm scheduled for at least another week. That's fine by me. Maybe they'll convince the brass that they can't live without me and I won't get released back to inbound. Whatever. Beats unemployment ALL to hell.

So tomorrow is the big winter holiday. I still have....I think two gifts to wrap. Tomorrow we will venture out into what promises to be a white morning and travel over the river and through the woods like good little girls.

Or, at least, we'll drive the mile to my grandparent's house. Those little details.

It's baby's first Christmas, so we need to remember to pack the camera. Hopefully, someone will think to get a shot of me holding her. I don't have any of those yet.

We'll eat *more* turkey (the company I work for gave us an almost 12 lb. bird last Friday. We polished off his remains this afternoon when I got home) and come home to a turkey coma/nap and LOTS of knitting.

My knitting project/Christmas gift for the boy isn't done. Even if I were to wiggle my nose and finish it tonight, there simply ain't no way it'll get the 2400 miles to him by tomorrow. That's ok, he can punish me for it later.

More knitting and episodes of House for me.

Happy Holidays Everyone!!

*EDIT*
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention last night's adventure. We had pizza last night. No big deal, right? Yeah, until I woke up sometime during the Midnight hour with a mouth full of stomach acid and unable to draw a breath. Then the coughing started as my lungs tried to force the stomach acid they had already breathed in back out where it belonged. It took a few minutes to calm everything down slightly so that I could use the inhaler Shady had stumbled into the living room to bring me. At some point during all this, I realized that my limbs were tingling from lack of oxygen, which makes me wonder exactly how long I was trying to breathe stomach acid in my sleep before my body decided it liked air enough to wake me up.

So, yeah, no pizza for me today.
*END EDIT*

Or CHRK for short lol...

A little late, but better late than never. :D

the holidays make me feel even more fat... and not just the food part.  People give me clothing that is too large and it hurts.  I mean honestly do I look that big to you?  I hope not.  I feel so disgusting inside and out.  I have been thinking lately about my odd habits.  I used to (and I still do often) discount my unusual behavior as normal. 
Examples: 

    *I'm just picky
    *I don't purge every day (and then I did so it became...)
    *I don't purge more than once a day (but then I did...)
    *I don't purge everything I eat
    *I'm not really purging just um... rinsing my stomach
    *I'm not starving myself!  I just can't eat too much because it makes me want to purge!
The stomach rinsing is probably the oddest thing right?  Basically that is when I drink a lot of water and then vomit and repeat the process till I get only water followed by bile and of course streaks of blood from my throat.  Disgusting no?  It is... satisfying though.   I can't say it exactly feels good but there is an awesome sense of relief involved. 

I really don't want to lose my hair.  I'm not anywhere near a weight that would cause that to happen... but I haven't stopped this shit despite health complications more serious than hair loss so I don't know.  Am I going to stop?  Well so far I'm just taking vitamins and supplements.  To be honest though one of the pills is supposed to speed my metabolism and another is a stimulant to give me energy.  Should I just sleep more and eat better?  Yes.  Will I?  No probably not. 

My buddies have been teasing the hell out of me for a while now about the Christmas gifts they apparently chipped in for. Christmas gets real expensive around here because we all chip in to a huge pot to buy cool gifts for each other. And then, of course, everyone goes out and gets other stuff for everyone, too. But these guys are the only family I have, so I am willing to spend.

However, my friends are the coolest people on Earth.

Those freaks chipped in enough to get me a friggin' Xbox 360 and an assload of games! My head just about fell off when I opened the wrapping and saw the console. I got an extra controller, too, so the buddy I'm staying with has been playing against me.

It's got an attitude. It over heated and shut off in the middle of a game. We're not real sure what's wrong with it. We moved it again, away from everything else, and we're going to set up a small mini fan next to it to keep it cool. At least we think that's the problem. We're taking a break to let it cool down. If it keeps up, I'll hook the old console back up so we can keep playing games and I'll call Microsoft to see if they can help figure out what's wrong with it. I was a little upset, we'd only been playing maybe 20 minutes when it shut down.

But either way, that was extremely cool of them all. I wasn't expecting anything like that. I've bought some expensive gifts for people in my time, and I've gotten a few myself. But I didn't expect this, not at all.

I got some other good news, too, but I have to wait to share. That one is a surprise. :)

o___o; My avi needs pants. I'm working on it... ^^-;;;;
