alright, so i just got some bad news at work: they did not approve my vacation time. this is something that i stipulated when i was hired. i let them know that i might not be there at all in december so that i could visit home. they said it was ok but now they don't. it's really not cool at all.
past that i'm doing alright. just working my way along. i haven't slept more than six hours at all in the past week so i'm feeling a little bit tired but it's really not that bad. i think i'm getting used to it. but i might shoot for 7-8 tonight because i don't really have to be up late for anything. we'll see how that goes.
and i'm waiting for my marmot helium bag. it's really light and really nice and this means that when sara and i go camping we have enough sleeping bags. so it's a really good thing. and it's rated to 15 degrees F. so it's a good bag for winter, too.
and it is really deeply into the winter right now. it's awesome. there is a lot of snow everywhere in the mountains and yet it's still mild down here in seattle because of the water. we've had fog every day this week and over the weekend, too. but it isn't really raining yet. that's later on. the winter hasn't been as bad as i've been expecting but we've got a month until it's at the very shortest days of the year here so we'll see how it goes. it's already dark now by 5:30 so i can't imagine how much shorter the days are going to get.
i've also been knitting an ear-flap hat. it's super sweet. it's kelly green with brown and a yellowy khaki color spun together and it's alpaca so it's super soft and comfy feeling. it'll be a 1-to-1 rib so it'll fit close and i think it's going to be one of my favorite hats. i just need to add a little peruvian pattern in white or black or ruddy brown and it'll be a great looking hat. i'll post pictures when i have them. it'll make me look like the supreme gaylord of the block.
also, i scored the highest in my motorcycle safety class. and i got the compliment of looking like a fish in water when i got onto the bike. my chest practically just puffed out a foot when i got that one. because i worked really hard to make myself that relaxed on a bike.
more on all of that later on, homies.
i don't actually say that in real life so don't be alarmed.
that is all.

yeah, the ear flap hat is one of those ingenious ideas. and to have one that you knitted yourself, well, to me that sounds like a little piece of bliss.
we've just had our first snow for the winter and i'm just a little excited. coming from sunny orstralia as i do, am not at all used to coming to work covered in snowflakes. woo hoo!!

sumo, bless you! have a great holiday
chop, that'd better be all you're wearing in the pictures
and shoop, i loooove snow! i'm from colorado originally so i'm used to some of the best, driest snow on the planet. we've got some of the best powder skiing you can find. and that's what i got to learn to ski on. i'm spoiled as hell. but it's just how winter works. winter=snow=fun and normal. no snow=wierd and unnatural, lol.

well fine...
lol
i really couldn't do it for everyone. it'd have to be one specific person and then i'd think about it.
