Day 11 - A gift to myself

I had a rough night last night....lots of coughing and not much sleep so needless to say I was very tired today. I dragged myself to work anyway because I have so much to do and so few days in Dec before Winter break to get it all done. I'm glad I went in. I saw a lot of students that needed seeing and I got a lot of paperwork done. My Mom was coming back tonite to spend the night before heading on back home to Northern Calif tomorrow so I knew my evenign was going to be a busy one....not one where I could crawl in the door and go to bed. (That's been happening a lot for me lately). Anyway, with all that I have going on and feeling as tired and run down as I felt today, I thought that I should treat myself to a gift today so that's what I did. I took myself out to a nice lunch and then I bought a NEW Christmas CD. It's a compilation of lots of greats like Etta James, Harry Belefonte, Dean Martin etc. It's awesome!!! I played it for the rest of the afternoon at work and it definitely put a smile on my face. Oh, and now I have a new CD to share with my Christmas music loving friends. I cooked a nice dinner for Mom tonite and we've had a lovely time chatting and catching up on all the family news from Thanksgiving. I'm hoping for a better nights sleep tonite!
