Yeah, yeah, I've been horrible about keeping caught up. Not that I haven't had the time--I've just kind of let it build up, once again, and then get too lazy to get caught up. But, for now, I am all caught up with my life here up until now, so this is very good. Hopefully I can actually get my backside in gear to STAY caught up.
So today marked the four-week, exactly 28-day mark for when I will be on a plane on my way home for Christmas!! Needless to say, I am VERY excited about this!
I spent most of my day on chores--doing laundry and dishes. I had some more pie filling that needed to get baked, so I made up two pies for the girl in my class whose parent's house burned down last week. I was actually going to spend Thanksgiving with her, but seeing as how family will absolutely take precedence, I will still send her with some pies for her family to enjoy.
And, as if I wasn't having enough fun with pumpkin pies, I had 9 cups of pureed pumpkin left that didn't have all the other ingredients added, so I went ahead and prepared all of that today also. It turns out I have the fixings for four pies, so all of that is divvied up into four separate Tupperware containers and is in the freezer. I plan to make a pumpkin pie for Christmas, and then leave the other three things of filling with my boyfriend so he can make a pie whenever he wants to if I'm not there. Probably we will have at least one left over for next year, though, so I will have to learn another type of pie for next year.... Hmmm...
Aside from that, I worked some on my current event, talked to my loved ones, and am now catching up on my blog before going to bed. I like days like this--very laid back, with very little pressure to get things done. Although, I have been feeling the need to get caught up on my blog, especially since I wanted to get my clinical stuff caught up before I forgot all the amazing things I got to do!
Today, I am grateful for windows. Yes, windows. It's strange to say, but hear me out. This morning, and the past couple of mornings, I have woken up feeling like I was having a fever for how ridiculously warm my room gets. So, when I say I woke up this morning, partly because of this apparent hot flash and also because I went to bed so early, I mean I woke up at 0430. I did get back to sleep, but only because of my window. I was happy to be able to crack it to let in some cool air to counteract the heat, which helped me sleep comfortably and not wake up feeling ill. Huzzah!
