Christmas Eve Eve
December twenty-fourth, 9pm Eastern Standard Time, from here on in I shoot without a script...
That's what I always think of when I hear December 24th. Rent.
Anyway. Today was a long day. I woke up with a headache, as seems to happen here. My bed is not as comfortable as I would like it to be. =/ But it's all good now. I spent a couple hours trying to get my computer all set up. I found a Christmas background (just in time for the holidays <.g>) and got some pictures to create a screen saver. I also figured out Outlook. Whew. Thanks, Shelley! I now have all of my email addresses being pulled into Outlook, set up folders, and am DETERMINED to organize better than I did on my old computer. <.giggle> My Deleted folder will not be the catch-all. Lol.
I started tackling the organization of my room. Ack. What a project! I took EVERYTHING out of my closet and cleaned it out completely. Never meant to make you cry but tonight, I'm cleanin' out my closet. Ha ha. That was an all day project. I ended up with two bags of garbage and three bags of clothes to donate to Am Vets. Amazing. It's SO organized now, it kills me. Ha! I somehow managed to create the illusion that I have both a clean room and a clean desk. Really, truly amazing. <.g>
It's very odd to think I'm moving in here. For, like, a very long time. When I was putting things away, I fell into my usual "stash it here for the short amount of time I'll be here" mode. Then I realized that I'm HERE. I'm here and I'm staying, and I need to put things away in a location that they can claim as their own for a good long time. It's a strange feeling.
Then tonight, I went to dinner with Emily, Frank, Kim, John, Meghan, Tammy, Jamie, Craig, Dorothy, Erik and Gen. It was SO GOOD to see everyone again!! Congratulations, also, to Tammy and Dorothy, who both also graduated this December. And much-belated congrats to Em, Frank, Kim, John, Jamie and Gen, who all graduated last May.
It's awfully late. Tomorrow is another big day. I should sleep. Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL Christmas!
