The List for Week of December 21, 2009

[ajoyce02]

Christmas shopping is on The List. Just really annoys me, hate doing it.

3 day work weeks make the Anti-List.

Packers' defense, List. I knew that last minute drive by Pittsburgh was coming, I knew it. Yet I still sat there and watch them come apart. Glutton for punishment I guess.

Seeing family this week, Anti-List.

Work drama, not so much with co-workers but with clients, List.

Have a good week and a merry Christmas everyone!

My son coming home on leave for Christmas: Anti-List.

Having four brothers and three of them unwilling to help me take care of my mother while I work some mandatory OT at work due to this *ing bank conversion is on The List.

Then having my oldest niece (18yo) tell me that she's will to help when needed, me asking her for that favor for about 90 minutes each day for 7 whole mornings during her winter break - to fill in for my brother whose work schedule temporarily shifted, and then getting a call from her mother for having the gall to ask such a thing of her, all of that is on The List. Apparently I'm traumatizing and shaming the girl into helping family. What the hell ever happened to the days of family helping family regardless (not that I said any of that on the phone)?

<b>List</b>:
Giving myself a bruise by my eye (which I didn't realize was there until I finally looked in the mirror after getting mega weird looks while running errands).

Getting whacked in the face by one of my cats whose claws are always extended (she wasn't trying to hit me or upset) and having it bleed in two spots that are still visible a day later.

Going to Saskatoon, being told I'd have a crappy shooting position, being told I shouldn't bring my netcam, having a center seat for one leg of the trip, not being able to find my gloves, spending a gazillion dollars, going to Saskatoon.

Having to miss a game I'd love to shoot because of the item above.

<b>Anti-List</b>

Not actually hurting my eyeball and it only being sore.

Cats being stoned on their Christmas catnip and actually playing with their new toys (normal mode is ignore toy for a month then play).

Going to World Juniors. I've *****ed about it a lot this year, but in the end, I love the WJC. Might have backed out this time if I hadn't paid $$$ already for non-refundable airfare, but I did so time to fake positivity until I can feel it.

Getting to shoot a game at Fenway this week and getting back from Saskatoon in time to celebrate Alabama's national championship on 1/7 and shoot at Fenway on 1/8.

To all who celebrate: Merry Christmas and God Jul!
