Bad news first: tonight after work I'm going to try to head over to rosheen12's wake. She died on Sunday morning of ovarian cancer (I think). I only met rosheen twice, through taraljc, but she was a really nice, sweet, fun gal who—as ljc pointed out—always had a smile on her face. Plus, she loved Sean Maher, so we were psuedo-kindred spirits that way. ;) I know fishdoctorpost will be going tonight, as the two went to high school together. Though I barely knew rosheen, I think it would be nice for her family to know that she was thought highly of. So yeah, that's sad.

Good news: today is my last day at work until next Tuesday. Wooooo! I'm very excited about that. My plan tomorrow is to clean my apartment. A lot. Thursday fava_bean has off work, so we might catch a screening of Goblet of Fire during the day when it's cheaper, and then I'll go to my parents' house that night to pick up shipped packages and maybe bake some more. Friday I'm cleaning my kitchen, grocery shopping, and cooking, as that night I'm hosting a small dinner party for the old high school gang. Saturday I'm packing up myself and the cat and heading to the parents' house again to do Christmas. I think I'll probably just stay out there till Monday night, maybe. I'm not sure. We'll see.

Many thanks to the following people for Christmas cards: queenofthorns, boannan & jasunshine, and edie22. I'm pretty sure I also thanked xica_s, bigboobedcanuck, sodanyc, and queenofalostart & kingofalostart for cards earlier, but just in case, thanks!

Finally, good luck to all of my NYC friends getting through the transit strike. I hope this doesn't cause too many headaches for you, but moreso, I hope you don't lose even a fraction of your salary over this. If you're forced to take the day off because you can't get in to work, enjoy your day!

The Chicago post offices must be rocking. That's the second thankyou I got from someone there! And I only sent the cards out on Saturday! :)

Which is funny, seeing as how the Chicago POs are notorious for extremely shoddy service*, mail being stuffed into sewers by disgruntled workers, and postmen hoarding years' worth of mail in their garages, only to be discovered after either an extensive sting operation or the garage itself goes up in flames. No, really.

*Once I sent fava_bean a Valentine's Day card, and it showed up in APRIL. Really.

I wish I could be there, but I have to fly out to Florida tonight. Hug fishdoctorpost and lunda for me.

I'll be sure to pass on your hugs.
