O Christmas Treeeee

So last night we got our Christmas tree and discovered that it didn't fit in our stand. In the process of trying to deal with it, we broke our mop bucket and dirtied like every single towel in the house. Eventually we called our landlord and got a different stand. Btw, our tree is freaking massive.

Last night a few people made cards to send home, but I had already decided to wait until I see my family to give them anything.

Tonight it's free time and I'm baking cookies. Partially because it's our work partner appreciation night on Friday, and partially because my house always has a LOT of cookies around Christmas. We did have a lot of cookies in the house earlier this week (thanks to daddy and amy!) but now they are mostly gone.

So yeah, that's the latest in Christmas preparations. I don't think any of us are too excited for Christmas. Benno is probably the most excited and he`s realizing more and more that it`s going to suck to be away from home. We're all very focused on next rotation because we're slowly but surely beginning to hate it here.

Chrissssstmas is coming, and I'm finding myself with less and less downtime. This is good in a way, but also really awful in a way. We didn't have a full block of free time in two weeks and we all started going a little bit crazy.
However, we had free time on Wednesday and we all feel better, I think.

I was housemanager last week with little Cecile, and on Friday morning the house was a disaster. So I cried for like two hours, wanted to go home, and then I powercleaned the whole house. And then I went to the only restaurant in town and ate two breakfasts. I still didn't feel better, and I still feel bitter about it.

Today when I went home for lunch I had a paaaackage waiting for me! I was supremely excited because I was expecting a package from my daddy, but it turned out that it was only from BodyArtForms. Which was nice, because Benno got half of his Christmas present and I got my tiny little baby plugs. They are freaking adorable.

Okay, I have to go call the house now to remind the boys to move the tables.

Halifaaax.

So, it's been a really really really long time since I've written anything. Life has proceeded as always. 6 of us went to Halifax on our 48 off this weekend. Looooong bus ride, night of debauchery, corrupting the vegetarian, peggy's cove, shopping, debauch, major fight, sleep, tour of halifax, looong bus ride.
Nice summary, eh?

Photos will be up when I'm not busy.
