It's Saturday, and for once I almost slept til my alarm at 5am. It was lovely. The cat jumped up and started pawing at about 4:50 and began patting my head. I guess she was afraid I'd forgotten about her while I was sleeping in with Yoda? I got up and fed her and now am relaxing before I go to work.

It's actually a busy day today. I have work til noon, then at 12:30pm we have Arvandor. Then at 4::45, I'm meeting my friend for dinner. Tomorrow, I'm doing nothing, I swear.

Yesterday was okay. Work was psycho, so I was mostly on the phones taking calls, though towards the end of the day, I got a few emails of people to call back. One was really sweet and excited when I called to offer them an appt, which was nice. I also had one who was a bit of a tool, but they were facing a health crisis and were finding out the realities of their insurance, so I understood. It's not fun to be yelled at, but they settled down as the call went on and did apologize.

I discovered that I did not get the first job I applied for, which I didn't want anyway, so no real issue there. I mentioned to my boss that I had the interview yesterday, and she asked me if I'd applied for the departmental position, because the list they sent over did not have my name on it. I assured her that I applied on 2/11, so she's going to go back to HR and ask what the fuck. So hopefully there will be some actual movement on that.

OMG, you all are fired! Why did no one tell me how fucking good poke bowls are? They keep coming up on the Hawaiian food channels, and they look so good that I tried one. Holy shit that was the best thing I've eaten all week, maybe all month. I wasn't quite brave enough to get the raw tuna, so I got a kani salad over sushi rice with pickled radish, edamame, furikake, green onions and masago. It was amazing. I ate almost the whole thing, which is rare for me. It just was so sweet and salty with that hit of vinegar from the pickled radish and sushi rice. I loved it so much that I ordered another to have for breakfast this morning! Next time, I may try the tuna and see how it is.

After work, I mostly relaxed. Jess had a migraine, so they went and napped, so it was just the dog and I. Mostly, I chatted with a few people and just took it easy. Part of that was deciding on where to go for dinner tonight. We came up with a bunch of ideas, but narrowing it took some time. We decided on an old favorite, and are going to Michael's Steak and Lobster, so I can get a steak bigger than my head, piled with lump crab meat. We've gone there at least three times, but they're so good. Just one of those restaurants that's been around since the 70's and it shows. Wood paneling, dark pleather booths and a Maryland staple, waitresses who have been there since the start and call you "hon."

We got another package from Hawaii, this one from the Honolulu Cookie Company. We got the macadamia butter shortbread, and the white chocolate coconut cookies. Good lord, they're delicious. I have one of each that I'm nibbling with my coffee. They're amazingly flavorful and not too hard. Definitely do recommend. The day spoiled me with good food.

After that, I just sat and surfed social media waiting for my sister to get home. She was late, as she had trouble getting her luggage, and missed her stop and had to get off at the next one. Fortunately the BIL follwed the train and picked her up at the new stop. Apparently some asshole had wedged their bag on top of hers, and she couldn't get it out. Once she did, she got to the doors as they closed.

I had a poke bowl ready for her when she got home, but it's in the fridge, since after all that she was more tired than hungry. It didn't stop her from monologuing at me for about an hour after she came home, but I begged off after a while and went to bed. It was a bit later than my normal, so I'm not horribly surprised that I slept til my alarm.

I'm starting to actually get a bit of an itinerary for Hawaii. It looks like the second half of the week is going to be the busy part. The swap meet/maker's market is on Wednesday, the night market is on Thursday and there's fireworks near our hotel on Friday and those are all things I want to do. The Luau that we're looking at is open Wed-Sunday. For that, our choices are Wed night, or Thurs or Friday afternoon. I'm thinking Wed night, just because I feel like the fire dances would lose some impact during the day. Plus, from a food perspective. I don't want to be full when we got to the night market. We're there Sunday afternoon to Saturday morning, which sadly means that we'll miss the all you can eat brunches, but I'm okay with that.

Jess wholeheartedly agreed with the plan to visit San Francisco for a day or two on the ride out and back. It'll mean it's a 10 day trip instead of 7, but it'll be so much less stressful. I'm debating on hotels for San Francisco now. Do we want to stay waterfront? Near Chinatown? At the resort near the Golden Gate Bridge? I just don't know enough yet to decide. More research! My hyperfixation knows no bounds!

It is exactly two months til we leave for Alaska. That seems unreal. It's so soon! I've got most things ready, but I feel like there's so much left to do! I need to watch the weather forecasts in Alaska when we get close, so I know what to pack. I have SO much packing to do. I need to be ready. I need to figure out Yoda's boarding and Boodle's pet sitter. I was just waiting for Yoda to feel a little bit better, but he's perking up nicely, so next week, I'll call them and make an appt for him to spend a night or two to see how he does.

He might need to get vaccines before then. He's up to date on most, but the boarding place wants him to have canine influenza as well. I didn't even know there was a canine influenza vaccine. So, I'll also make him an appointment for that and double check his bordatella. Rabies is good til 2027, so we're good there.

I hope he does well at this place. I really don't want to board him at the vet, but if it comes to that, we will.

And now, I shall go forth and do some Orientation, and get ready for my day. My poke bowl is calling. Everyone have a super Saturday!

It's Thursday! And as per my usual, I'm up at 4am. The dog is not particularly amused. My sister sleeps in til about 5:30am and doesn't come out to the living room until 6, so this is an adjustment for him. I got such side eye when I sat up and turned on the light. Now he's resting on the couch next to me under a blanket. We turn the heat down at night, so it's a touch chilly, but we all like to be cool to sleep. He seems to be perking up, but he's still very itchy, so hopefully the shot kicks in soon.

Today, I have work til 2:30pm, and then an interview at 3:00pm, so I'll be moving when I get off work. I may actually see if I can head out at 2, and just come in half an hour early tomorrow. The interview is almost directly next to a really tasty restaurant, so I'll probably order from there and bring it home for dinner. I'll cook tomorrow, as I got out think sliced chicken breasts, and I have a big box of stovetop stuffing to make rollups.

I was having a headache and some nausea last night, so I bowed out of Brindlewood for the night. Wednesday night games are really difficult for me, because I get up so early. And with college starting on 4/9, it's not going to get any better. University of the people runs their courses in weekly intervals, from Thursday-Wednesday. Which means if I am struggling on an assignment, it's due on Wednesday and I'm going to have to figure that out. Instead I went to bed early and slept pretty well.

Work was pretty quiet. I took about 20 calls, and the rest of the time was off the phone. I'm getting a little bit annoyed with my bosses. That means that I'm spending half my time doing what the new job will entail, yet I'm not yet getting paid for it. It's starting to piss me off. I like doing it, but I'd like to move into it fully. I don't really know how to drop a hint, so I might just have to come clean and ask about the timeline. It's been nearly a month since I put in my application, so it would be nice to see something beyond "Your application is being reviewed.

I've got a package coming today and one coming tomorrow. Todays is more crab. Since the crab I ordered from Costco was rancid, I went ahead and ordered another box from Sitka Seafood. Crab feast time!

They'll be the normal Dungeness crabs, which are sweet and delicious.

I had a thought late last night about our trip. I was talking to poisontaster about the plane ride being so long, and it occurred to me that I'm going to have probably around 19 days of PTO stocked by that time. Why not leave Friday and fly in wherever our connnecting flight is out of (probably LAX). Then, we'll have Saturday to relax, maybe take a hop on hop off around LA, and then fly to Hawaii the next day. Coming back, we'll do the same. Hawaii to LAX on Saturday, then LAX to Baltimore on Monday. It'll give us a little cushion and let us walk around between 6-7 hour flights. I haven't run this past Jess yet, but we'll see what they think. I've never seen LA, so that might be fun. The alternative would be to fly into San Francisco, though that would probably require two different airlines.

That would only use 7 days of my PTO, and it might be a little easier on our middle aged bodies? Okay, lets be real, on my middle aged body. Jess is 10 years younger and in much better shape than me.

It would still give us 6 nights in paradise, which is all I want. There's not a direct flight from BWI, so we'd have to either break it into segments or fly out of DC, NYC or Philly. I'm not sure I could handle a 14 hour flight, anyway if I did.

Fortunately, I can't make our flights right now anyway, so I have time to consider. And also see how our 5 hour flight goes to Seattle in 2 months.

As I said yesterday, now that I've upgraded to an ocean front room, with the view of Diamond Head, I'm very happy. Hawaii is super expensive, but I've got 403 days to save up.

To start getting ready, I went on Torrid and ordered some more bike shorts. I also did some hype buying for the trip. Soon, we shall have a variety pack of macadamia nuts plus some coconut shortbread. Also, I got a lovely flowy top for any dress up occasions.

I've been mostly looking at cheap eats so far, but I'm going to have to look at what restaurant we'd like to splurge for. I'd still like it to be locally owned, but I'm aware that that could be tough. But we'll see.

Alaska is now 63 days away. Even though it might not seem it with all the Hawaii talk, I am so looking forward to going. I can't wait to see everything. From Seattle to the ship, everything is brand new. I've never gone west of Texas, so it'll be exciting.

It should be interesting, spending 10 days with the sister and brother in law. I don't really know how that's going to go. I love them both, but sometimes they also drive me crazy. I guess with the ship, I can always find something to do away from them. There's plenty of game shows and trivia and enrichment programs I can go do. Or, I can go out on the balcony and get in the hot tub and relax. Or go to the thermal spa and get in their therapy pool or steam room, or lounge on the warm lounge chairs.

So far, I'm loving my new Macbook Air. It's doing what I want, at a good speed and with a much bigger screen. We'll see how I love it once I start school, but I think it'll be good. It's a little harder to type in the morning, since it's much bigger, and sits differently on my lap, but we're working it out.

The job today is for our concierge program. So basically, I'd be making appointments for spoiled executives and rich people. Which is fine. I already do that, since I get all the VIP patients to deal with. And it pays more than Radiology. If I get it, I might have to think on it. It'll depend how much they offer for, I guess. Radiology, I'll probably cap out around $30-$31 per hour. Concierge, I might get as high as $34 if they really want me. I'll have to decide if that $3-$4 is enough to leave Radiology. I guess I can try to negotiate and see if I can bring Radiology's offer up, if they ever get going on the application that is.

Tomorrow, we have a blissfully relaxing night, and my sister will be back around 7pm and I can sleep in my own bed. To be fair, it'll probably involve videos about food in Hawaii.

It's sad, one of the biggest attractions, the Polynesian Cultural Center is actually owned by the Mormon church, so I'm not sure we want to go there. Apparently it's a fairly good depiction of Polynesian culture, and provides jobs for locals, but LDS just leaves a bad taste in my mouth and feels exploitative.

I think there's probably enough other things to do that we won't miss it, though. We'll just go to a local owned Luau and get some of the same culture. I definitely want to do the Kualoa Ranch and do the movie set tour. Jurrasic Park was one of my formative movies, afterall. They have a UTV tour that goes around the ranch and shows the sets from Jurrasic Park, and Hawaii 50. It sounds like a cool and fun thing to do.

Okay, time to do more of my orientation. It's multiple units, so I'm going to do them one a day, so as not to fry my brain. I've got til 4/4 to finish. Everyone have a terrific Thursday!

Good morning and happy hump day!

Yesterday was a trial. I spent most of the day trying to fill in slots, and dealing with unhappy patients. I still have one slot to be filled. The pissed off patients, I can't help. Then, it was off to Yoda's vet appt. He was pretty good, aside from screaming when they lifted him up onto the table. Verdict, allergies and a possible skin infection. So he got his cytopoint shot and some antibiotics which will hopefully help him.

He had a real bit of trouble getting his pills down. We're out of cream cheese, so I ordered some fudge, but it's apparently too sticky, and just gets stuck on his teeth. Then, he bites the pill and is unhappy. So, I'll be buying some cream cheese for him. He won't take them without bribery. Then, we were sitting on the couch and he started just crying and whimpering. We were about to grab the keys and head to the emergency vet, but he settled down. I think he might have been laying where he had the cytopoint injection and moved wrong. He seems fine this morning. I did not sleep well, worrying about him.

Today, I shall work on getting my slots filled, and take a few calls. We've got Brindlewood, and I'm going to be struggling to stay awake for the game, but I'll manage.

Tomorrow, it's off for my interview. I'm a little nervous, but not much. Having a back up job even if it's slow moving, kid of takes of the pressure. This job pays higher, but if I don't get it, it's not going to change my life.

And bonus, the interview is right by a really good restaurant, so I can pick up dinner for Jess and I afterwards! Win win.

Yesterday, after having watched some videos on our hotel, I made the executive decision to see how much more the ocean front would be over our ocean view. Ocean view would mean we'd have to go out on our balcony to see a side view of the ocean, where as Ocean front is right there.

Shockingly to upgrade to a Club room that overlooks Diamond Head and the beach, it was only $600 more for the whole trip. So, of course I took that deal. We're going to have the prettiest view in Waikiki.

And we still get access to the club lounge for breakfast, and dinner snacks (which can make a meal--god knows we did it at Disney.)

I figure that pretty much pays for itself over six days, just not having to pay $20-40 a day for breakfast. We'll probably share a plate for lunch, because the lunch plates look enjormous, usually for around $15-20. Dinner will probably be a little more expensive, except for the nights we go looking for food trucks. There's one that has a prime rib plate lunch that looks amazing.

I got my orientation log in, so I'm going to do that next. I know I also need to find and scan my GED before I start my program. The first semester is kind of onboarding courses so you can try it out and see how it goes. My first program runs from 4/9 to July. That gives me a good stretch to see whether this is something that I think I can do.

So far, the sister being away has been kind of nice. We're able to sit in the living room without being peppered by what she sees on her social media. On most of my social media sites, I can block names and words. I can't do that with her. I love her very much, and I do miss her, but I can't deny that it's lovely to have the quiet. Sleeping with Yoda less so, but I can deal for two more nights. She'll be back on Friday, and I can have my bed.

Today, the vet will probably be calling about Yoda's liver enzymes. We retested them as the non specifc number has been high. This may mean Cushing's Disease. If it's up, then he'll have to do another test, an all day one where they measure his cortisol over 8 hours.

I think he probably does. He has the excessive thirst, the pot belly and possibly the lethargy. Either that, or he's the laziest little overstuffed sausage to ever live. That's the only labs that are out of whack, so it's not diabetes, probably not cancer. Cushing's would probably mean that he has another few years on medicine. But he's alreay 10 years old, so that's probably his natural life expectancy anyhow.

The dog sitter declined to come back for a second try with him, so boarding it is. Once we get him feeling better from this, we'll take him for a one or two night stay and see how he does. There's a very nice place near us that has a special program for older or special needs dogs, so we'll try that. Once he's been there for a few nights and done okay, we'll do 4-5 nights. Just so he sees that we'll always come back.

Then, it'll be time for the cruise. It means that I'm going to have to find someone to come in a few times a day for Boodle as well, but that's okay. I can do that. She'll probably enjoy the peace and quiet while he's out.

Okay, time to go forth and look at orientation. Everyone have an awesomely amazing Wednesday!

We survived Monday! It wasn't a bad day for me. It was busy, but around 9am, UPS showed up with my brand new Macbook Air! It's so shiny and so big! I love it. I set it up while I was working, and copied my other computer to it, so that it has all my apps and documents. It even has my password vault, which was lovely. It auto logged me in everywhere, so all I had to do was turn it on. The keyboard is a bit larger than I'm used to, so please excuse any typos. I'm readjusting. It's going to be great for school in a month, I think.

Work was very busy, but not terrible. I ended up at 40 calls exactly, even though I had some people to call back. Apparently the new nurse who's doing the calls for the Cardiac CTAs is going to be sending us lists of people who want sooner appts so we can try to fit them in. Amanda forwarded the first email to me. So, being myself, I made a spreadsheet about it with all the information I need to keep track of it.

I added my managers to it, I should probably add the other team leads to it as well. I'll do that this morning.

Then I had my psych appt, which was a big nothing as usual. 15 minutes and it was done and my prescriptions were at the pharmacy. I'll probably pick them up tomorrow. I just put in an order for my blood pressure medicine, so once that's gone through, I'll head over.

Today, I have my virtual GYN appt, in order to be approved for the Teal Wand, so I can do an at home PAP smear. The last time I did one, I was in agony with cramps and stabbing pains every time I moved for three days. It sucked. I'm hoping that if I do it myself, it'll be a little bit gentler and less likely to piss of my cervix/uterus. I really wish I could just yeet both, but since I'm in menopause, it would be a little like closing the barn door after the horse has left.

I am trying to catch up on healthcare shit this year. I've been a bit lax. Hopefully, my doctor doesn't cancel the appt I have with her this month, so I can get my A1c checked and also request the seasickness patch for the cruise.

I continue to plan for our Hawaiian trip. Right now, I'm learning about local food and what hole in the wall restaurants/food trucks I should plan for. My plan is to patronize local businesses as much as possible. I don't want to be one of the ugly mainlanders who comes over and eats pizza. I want to be adventurous and try new things. Same for Alaska, but I've already figured out dining for the cruise.

So now I work on Hawaii. I found a youtube channel set in Oahu, two locals show you all the local places you can go in Honolulu. Some might require an Uber to get to, but I'm okay with that. And a lot of them are in Waikiki where we're staying. The hotel does vow renewal ceremonies on the beach, and I'm trying to convince Jess that we should do a vow renewal on each vacation. I'm not sure they're buying what I'm laying down. I got a flowy shirt, just in case so I'll look pretty. Hopefully it fits. If we don't do the vow renewal, we'll probably go for a fancy dinner or luau one night, so I'll still get to wear it.

I continue to research Hawaiian owned businesses, so I know where to go. It seems like our hotel is pretty centrally located, so we should be able to walk to a lot of them, and if not, there's Uber. I expect that we'll be using that a lot. We're going to stay from Sunday afternoon, leaving on Saturday and arriving home on Sunday thanks to time zones. It's a long flight, but we'll manage. We're going to do our layover in LA, so there'll be a break between legs. I don't think I could handle a 13 hour flight direct. I need to get off and walk around a bit. I think LA is about 5 hours, and then Honolulu will be about 7, which is a lot, but that's the only way to get there shy of a long cruise. One day, maybe I'll take the 17day cruise out of San Diego to Hawaii and Tahiti, but for now, a plane is far more efficient.

The cruise is down to 65 days, which feels momentous. in just 6 days, we'll be at exactly two months til we leave. The cruise is technically 67 days, because we're leaving two days early, but I'm counting til we hop on that plane.

Weirdly, aside from a generalized overview of Vancouver, I've left that mostly unplanned. I know what I want to see, and how we're getting around (the Hop on Hop Off Bus), but as far as planning out things, not so much. I do know that if we're not exhausted, we may go see Mortal Kombat II the night before we get on the boat. I'm really looking forward to it, because I love me some stupid video game movies. And I love me some Karl Urban. They pushed the movie from the slums of October to May, so I'm thinking it might be better than it needs to be. Even if not, I'll enjoy it.

Seattle should also be fun, but I don't have as much that I want to see there. Pike's Place Market is my choice. The brother in law has a boner for the Space Needle, so we'll do that, too. If there's something else I come up with, we'll do that. We've got four hours to play, so I'm not thinking we'll be able to do a ton. If there's something else, we'll have half a day on the way back. I don't know how much I'll be doing that day. I may just curl up in the hotel room and eat complimentary icecream and relax before the flight the next day. We'll see.

I'm still a touch concerned about my PTO bank, but I think it'll be okay. I should have the time by the second week of April, which should be plenty of time. I just need things to be calm until then.

I was saying to Jess that it's funny. Because of the Rybelsus, I don't eat a lot, but I am all in when it comes to food. 80% of my planning for vacations is food-related. I mean, on the Alaska trip, it'll be more difficult, since the brother in law is a whitebread eater, so the places we go together will need to be tailored to a pickier palate. Hawaii will be a free for all, since Jess and I will try anything once.

Yoda has his vet visit today, which is good. Poor boy is SO itchy. We'll get him his cytopoint injection and maybe antibiotics, which should make him feel better.

He slept like a log last night. It was nice, because then I got some sleep. He's currently laying on the couch next to me, dozing like he didn't sleep all night.

Hopefully, work is a little quieter today. I dislike looking at the call queue and seeing 21 calls holding. It's just annoying.

Tomorrow, work, then Brindlewood Bay! It's been a long time since we played that particular game, so I'm looking forward to it.

And on that note, it is about time for me to go forth and start pulling myself together. Everyone have an outstanding Tuesday!

Ugh. I love my cat, but she nearly died this morning. 4am, she started bugging me. I got up and fed her, and went back to sleep, and at 4:30, she was back. I shooed her off and tried to sleep, but I couldn't, because I was annoyed and knew she'd be back. Sure enough at 5 she returned and I finally gave up. I was so annoyed. It's my last night in my bed for 5 fucking days, and I didn't even get to sleep in. I love her so much, but goddamn.

So, I'm up. I'm going to check my prep for todays game session, and wait for Jess to get up and see if they want to do the pancake breakfast at Oregon Ridge Nature center, so I can get some maple candy. I'm a sucker for all things maple, I've gotta admit.

Aside from possible pancakes and game, I don't think we're doing a whole lot else. By the time we finish game, my sister will be on her way to NYC, so we'll probably just enjoy the quiet, maybe watch TV or something that we don't normally do when my sister is home. It's very difficult to enjoy a show that she's not into, because she talks so much during it. With the Pitt, I need to pay attention to the rapid fire dialogue, so I need her not in the vicinity. I suppose I could have watched Heated Rivalry, but I didn't think of it.

Yesterday was nice. Jess had some tummy cramps, so we cancelled their fitting for their suit and moved it to next weekend.

I worked in the morning and had a lot of calls, though my favorite was an older couple. They needed to move an appt that they had made through the portal. In the "special needs and accommodations" section, they had written something incredibly unflattering about our doofus in chief, which I found hilarious. I got them a good appointment.

Then, we relaxed for a few minutes while my sister got her hair cut. Then, it was off to the restaurant.

OMG, the robot server was cute as hell. The head and screen are shaped like a kitty, and it has this very young, very cute voice. It trundles up going "Hello, I'm here!" and then tells you what tray your food is on. Just so adorable! The food was also good, though next time, I swear, I'm getting all appetizers. The entrees were good, but the appetizers were phenomenal.

We got cheese wontons, which were my favorite. They were little purses of a white gooey cheese, in an amazing sauce that I could have put on anything. When we finished the meal, I put in another order for them, and overstuffed myself. No regrets. The other appetizer was gyoza, which came in a circle with a thin crispy covering over them, like they put a bit of lacy batter in the pan and then added the steamed gyoza. It was just the right amount of crunch.

I had the skewers, which were very tasty. I dipped them in the sauce from the wontons. Jess had Pork katsu curry, which had a very nice flavor. But they weren't as good as the appetizers.

Next time, I will also get the pork Shumai, and some other appetizers. It'll be great. Then, we waddled out to the car and came home and laid on the couch, just stuffed.

After lunch, we were discussing the possible Hawaiian hotels, and Jess admitted that they didn't like the one I was looking at, because they had a captive dolphin pool and a swim with them package, and that bothered them. So, back to looking for hotels. I did some more reasearch, looking specifically into LGBT+ friendly hotels. We settled on the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort.

It seems very nice, with plenty to do, but a little bit away from the main area. It's down near the reef that borders Waikiki Beach. It has a small beach, as the water comes up very close to the hotel, but it's enough for us. I got a club Oceanview room, so we'll have a great view of the Pacific, and we get access to the club lounge for breakfast and also dinner snacks, and drinks, which you could totally make a meal of if you so desired. There are some local restaurants nearby, and the rest are a quick cab ride away. Best of all, we're close to a trolley loop, so we can use that to get around during the day. Tours will also pick up there for the most part.

We'll have to see if we want to do any big tours. I've been looking on Viator, and there's plenty of fun things to do, but a lot of really long tours with multiple stops. I'm not sure I need a chocolate, wine and rum tasting. That seems like it might be excessive. I definitely want to go to the Dole Plantation and maybe a macademia nut farm. I'm very food motivated, don't you know.

I can't book most of it, but I'm looking. I did book the hotel, but the rest's calendars don't go that far out. I'm definitely getting a hotel transport that gives you a lei on arrival. That just seems fun, and a good memory to have.

The next week is kind of busy. I've got an appt Monday after work with my psych doctor, on Tuesday I have a virtual with a gyn. The FDA approved an at home pap smear, and since I had a really bad and painful experience with my last one, I figured I'd try it. You meet with the GYN, and then they send your the kit. It looks simple enough. You take the sample, send it off, and get results. And then, no pap smear for the next few years. It costs about $99 with insurance, which is totally fair, and was FSA approved.

After that on Tuesday, Yoda has an appt for his Cytopoint shot and to see if he needs antibiotics, because he's been licking his skin, and chewing on his leg a lot. Wednesday is quiet except for game, and then Thursday, I have the interview. Friday is again quiet, except that the sister will return, and that will be a bit of chaos.

I'm not worried about the interview, it'll be what it'll be. I'll do my best, and after that, whatever will be will be.

Oh, and on Tuesday, my new Macbook Air will show up! So I'll spend some time transferring files, and downloading all my apps. I've got about 7 that I need to download and remember my password to. Not my favorite thing, but it'll be worth it when I have it all set up, and I've got a faster computer with a bigger screen that presumably will hold it's charge way better. I'll have this one for travel, which is good.

And now, I'm just going to do some prep for Arvandor today, and drink my coffee and wake up. Everyone have a restful Sunday!
