Just a quick update: I don't have too much to say really. Surprise.
Christmas was nice. I had plenty of days off to spend with my family and friends. I got to see some that I haven't seen in a while. That's alway so nice. I found out I'm going to be an Aunt by proxy. Does that make sense? I'm claiming it for myself anyway. One of my longest good friends is preggers. It's weird, really. This is the first person that I'm really close to who is my own age that will be having a baby. Obviously, I know people my age and younger who have babies, but I'm not that super close to them. I feel everything will be different. It's a sign of actually growing up. Being responsible for another human being! Yikes.
I went to a new years party with a bunch o' people that I went to college with. I was pretty skeptical of how it would turn out, but it was actually a lot of fun. It was good to see some of them. We danced and partied like it was 1999. Or 2007.
I now have to go through security every time I go to work at PDX. The port discontinued access to crew members. I had to turn in my old badge and can't get through doors anymore. It sucks. It doesn't take too much longer to go through security since I can cut, but then people think I'm just being a jerk and make comments to me. Then I have to tell them that it's ok because I work here. It's just a hassel. You all know. Taking your coat and shoes off.
Currently I am sick. I've been pretty miserable for the last few days. I haven't been able to breathe properly for..hmm... this is the 5th day now. Unfortunately, Oregon doesn't allow you to get the cold meds that actually work unless you have a prescription. That's ridiculous. #1 - I don't have a doctor at the moment. #2 - Who goes to the doctor for a cold? I don't want to manufacture illegal drugs, I just want to be able to breathe. I called in sick for work today. I have more energy today, but I am still coughing and stuffy. Not to mention ear and sinus problems which don't work out too well when flying. It's no fun when you feel like your head may actually explode on a flight.
I may take a little vacation in a few weeks. We'll see what works out. I'll let you know. I watched Sweeney Todd the other night. All the blood looked fake so I laughed a little. But it was fun to watch. Movies are so expensive! Fortunately, I had a free pass. Oh, and to celebrate Randy's bday the other day we went to this family karaoke place where you and your friends rent your own room and sing your little hearts out. It was very fun! I started to get sick after that I think. Maybe I got some nasty germs off the mic.
