One of the nicer perks of my new job is that we're off on Thanksgiving, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. With pay. After you've been there for 6 months. So it's kind've a bummer that I won't get those days off paid, but it'll be really nice having those days off period. My entire life, every full-time job I've ever held has required I work on holidays. The next 6 weeks or so will be a nice change of pace! And BONUS!, next month I'll get to wear my many, many Christmas socks!

Vic's mom is still in ICU, but doing better...I think. She's able to communicate and the doctors have finally removed the chest tubes. She's been eating popsicles and drinking liquids off and on, but most of it still runs out the hole in her neck. I guess it's going to take a while for it to close up completely.

Friday & Saturday the weather was quite chilly and now for the last couple of days it's been unseasonably warm. Indian summer, I guess. I wish the weather would stay like this for the rest of winter!

I have my third test in Microbiology tomorrow. So far I'm getting an A, so I hope I can keep it up. I have a great teacher and the class is pretty interesting; and because it starts at 4pm, I get out of work an hour early every Wednesday. Yea!
