We got the dam removed and the adjuster came out to assess our damage.
I don’t know what his assessment in $ will be, either it will be worth the insurance claim, or it won’t. sigh

I realized today at work that suddenly, without warning it was Thursday. Christmas is in 4 days. I haven’t baked a single cookie, wrapped a single present, or even finished my Christmas shopping. Stupid Amazon.com said it shipped my packages via USPS and helpfully provided tracking numbers that the USPS never updates. For all I know, my packages could be in New Jersey and my gift recipients will received a wrapped envelope with the name/description of their gift.

Even more startling to me is that 2008 is rapidly approaching. I’m not prepared for a new year. I’m not sure I ever got a handle on 2007, and poof it’s gone.

So in 4 days I have to plan 2 parties, finish shopping, wrap presents, clean and decorate my house, bake cookies, and mentally prepare myself for another year.

Ha ha ha (nervous laugh)

If you’re counting New Year’s Eve as one of your two parties, don’t – it’s more than 4 days away, and you shouldn’t worry about it. If you’ve actually got two parties – I’m sorry.

USPS sucks at tracking. Often times my packages will just say that they’re at a sorting station or something like that and the tracking information never updates. NEVER. But they do usually show up by the day they say they will arrive.

I didn’t work very hard at giving Christmas gifts this year. I feel kind of bad, but I did get things that people told me to buy. No one is going to be surprised. Maybe Brian will still be surprised; he tends to forget what he asked for.
