Happy birthday to my sister A, who will probably never see this but who I love anyway.

I heard from my communications instructor! She said that I could request an extension (makeup exam) since I missed taking my final on Tuesday due to the snow and my testing center’s closure. They’re still closed today, and might be closed tomorrow, so I’m hoping that they will be open again by next Tuesday or, at the latest, Thursday. On the plus side, this gives me a few extra days to study for the exam. phew.

We had a couple inches of snow last night after some hail (which I erroneously referred to as “raining ice” to someone who laughed at me), but we still had to go to work today. Even though the base shut down, we at a retail store still had to come to work. The jets of the US Air Force were not flying, but darnit, retail lives on. Or something. Some people didn’t come in, but we, the troopers, went to work. It was bloody cold, though.

I have no clue what to do about Christmas. I’m thinking I might throw a frozen pizza in the oven and call it good, seriously. (It doesn’t help that I don’t like to cook on a normal day, much less on a holiday in an emotionally turbulent state.) I know I’m the hugest Scrooge, but I’m ready for that day to be over. I’m ready for 2006 to be over, for that matter! Which, btw, is insane–it’s going to be 2007. In 2007, I will have been graduated from high school for 10 years. I am definitely feeling my age.

Now that I have rambled sufficiently, I am ready for a nap. Dealing with pre-winter cold/girly cramps/lack of sleep at work today was not fun. And as much as I’d love to sit back and knit a sock right now, I’m so tired that I don’t think I could manage it. boohoo, lost knitting time.

Send sleep and happy sheep for me to count.
