It is Christmas time but I don’t feel it. My computer is sick so I feel a little lost as I try to manage on my 6 year old laptop (ug). The nice thing about the sick computer is that while it was giving me the wonky display problem a month ago, it fixed itself and stayed nice for 2 weeks while I worked on my Christmas card. It was only after I was ready to print them did the display go bad again.
I called Visa and they opened up a claim to pay for the repair but when can I get it done? I want to go up to the Apple store with it now but with the holidays it will probably take longer to fix. After the holidays, all the people who got new Macs or iPods will be clogging up the system.
In the meantime I plug away on the old machine and I feel lifeless as far as my online life goes. It is too much a pain to upload to Flickr. Actually not really, I just don’t feel like it. I still upload my daily photoblog but I am digging into my old reserve images.
I haven’t really been picking up or taking the camera with me lately either. I guess I need a break from all of my obsessions and enjoy the holiday season but I am not in the mood.
Swamped at work lately. I was hoping that after the rush of the end of year billing last Friday (everyone tries to get their project in before that deadline) I could relax but no, I am booked solid until after January 8th.
Today was the holiday thank you lunch for one of the commitees I am on. I sat next to the big boss and had a nice chat. It was a nice lunch even though I wasn’t impressed with the food. I am not really into Italian food. I tried to avoid a tomato based dish so I ordered Chicken Marsala. Blah and now tonight I haven’t been feeling 100%.
Tonight RAW’s cousin Darrell and Deb came by. No one on that side of the family has ever came to visit us all the way over here. Darrell is trying for a new job that is in Kanas but first he had to have a 4 hour psych test in Milwaukee. Deb came with him and with her 9 month old niece’s daughter. It was nice entertaining the little girl during the visit. I never picked up the camera and as you know I usually seek out babies to shoot.
I got to go wrap some gifts now so I am saying good night. Pam and family come out on Saturday. She turns 40 on Christmas so I got to plan a little b’day party for her visit. Today is Sherry’s birthday.
