It's Saturday! I just need to do 4 hours of work and I'll be done and can commence...whatever it is I want to do today.
I was thinking that I might make cinnamon rolls, but we'll see how much energy I can dig up to do it with. Right now, I'm very sleepy and want to take a post-work nap. There's a possiblity I can do it tomorrow, depending on game, but I don't neccessarily want to risk that. I'd rather do it today if I have the energy. We'll see.
My sister is going over to friends to exchange presents, so we'll be at home with the dog. Hopefully, she's not out too late. I would like to go to bed early, since I had game last night and was up late, then got up early for work. I've done it, before where I had a game Saturday night as well, but I prefer not.
Last night's game was so much fun. December has been a wasteland for games. People have actual lives, so it's thrown everything into a tumult. Today was our first campaign game in closer to a month. And while I love one shots, there's nothing quite like a campaign. Especially one that's been going for a little while. The characters kind of slot together and work as a team, and it's a lot of fun.
I'm not sure Vecna was the thematic game to play at the holidays, but oh well.
Work was fairly slow, though they kept me busy calling people for sooner appts.
Today, I'll watch the cancellations and try to get in as many people as I possibly can.
I got an email on Wednesday after I'd left from out big cheese. I went to reply today and realized that she'd only sent it to the Head manager, the assistant manager and me. May I just say WTF? How did I end up in this email chain? It's about getting a patient in sooner for a Cardiac, so it makes sense, but it's always a little disconcerting when the head of your department knows enough about you that she's addressing "lets get this done" emails to you. I mean, I absolutely will get this dude in. No issue there. But if I'm going to be one of the point people, I am definitely going to need more money.
I was looking at my calendar and realized that our vacations are creeping closer. First up is next weekend in Philly. Looking forward to it. We're going out for dinner with our friends on Friday night, then we're going to the zoo on Saturday. We may go back out to the zoo in the evening for their holiday lights, and then Sunday we shall have brunch and head home.
Then, on Feb 7, I ended up getting tickets to see Bianca Del Rio's comedy show. She's a drag queen who I loved on RuPaul's Drag Race. I'm not really a festival type of person, so when I saw that she had a solo show, I was interested. We got really good seats for not too much money, so I'm happy.
Then, April 18th, we head up to NYC for the Lost Boys musical. I'm looking forward to my 80's nostalgia binge. I'm debating between the train or getting us a car for the day. I'm going to check with the car company I use to see how much it would be to do that. If not, train it shall be, I'm just lazy and spoiled.
Then in May, the big one. Alaska. I truly cannot wait for that one. I'm really looking forward to it. Bucket List trip, first class all the way. I know it won't be perfect, no matter how much I want it to be. But hopefully getting there will be seamless. I can't plan it any more, for sure.
After we get settled in, I do want to run down to the Neptune Lounge and speak with our Concierge. I'd like to put in a standing order in the mornings for a pot of coffee and a plate of pastries to arrive, so that I can drink coffee and sit on the balcony to watch for whales and dolphins and seals.
We have a coffee maker, but a nice round of pastries would be nice. I'll probably head to the Lounge for my second, esspresso drink.
Breakfast will either be in the Club Orange dining room or the Lido Buffet, Lunch early at the buffet, and then dinner in the Club Orange Dining room. I'm going to come off this cruise so spoiled, having everything delivered to me or being waited on for every meal.
In between, Holland America is big on enrichment talks about the areas we're going, and there'll be bingo and pre dinner smoked old fashions in the ocean lounge.
And of course the ports! Juneau, we shall explore and do whale watching. Skagway, the White Pass Scenic Railroad and Ketchikan we shall have a crab feast and tour a brothel.
I want it to hurry up and get here! But alas, 131 days.
Which of course, means I have 131 days to get the dog acclimated to a sitter. That should be fun.
Okay, time for me to get myself together. Everyone have the very best Saturday!
