We had a chilly weekend, but that seems to be all we are going to get. High in the 80’s all week for Christmas. Bummer. West Texas and La Niña. I hate La Niña. What a great weekend I had.

So I worked only 2 1/2 days this week. I pretty much didn’t do a d*** thing. I spent more time making my rounds on campus telling everyone to have a a merry Christmas. I had no idea how well they would appreciate such a little gesture. I had a few presents to distribute to friends. Gag gifts are my forte. I’m looking forward to seeing the Mariah Carey shrine some day. It’s going to be impressive. I departed at noon and had some sushi.
Thursday was a good day. My first full day off. Because I’m dog sitting of course sleeping in wasn’t an option. These beast rule. I made coffee. Tried to mellow out. Went to the office to grab boxes to wrap. Someone beat me to them. All left wet too small. Next, Yvette came buy to exchange gifts. I had a funny one for her daughter. We than went to the museum to meet and greet Teddy, the curator’s dog. Corgi’s. Bekah and I almost had one. Fun dogs. The entire crew showed. The Dean, Jamie & Derek, Yvette and her kids, Eddie. Also was able to meet the curator’s twin sister. It was a fun affair. Sadly I had to go to HEB.
Once shopping was knocked out I met a friend at Twin Peaks for lunch and drinks. We didn’t know that all the staff would be in red lingerie with Santa hats. She was a bit distracted by all the bare a**. So was I. Haha. The food kind of sucked. I’m sure that’s not their main draw anyways.
The rest of the day I just kind of hung out. Went to my favorable watering hole for a little while. Arts Beard is magnificent. Had a couple drinks with a work friend. All was grand.
Christmas Eve. I have nothing to do. Eat tamales. Get the 4 dogs a Christmas present. Late lunch at chilies. WTF do you do one Christmas Eve when you are alone and it’s 80 degrees outside. It’s just another day, right?
