Snow Mice

11:57 AM December 16, 2006

December has been good. We had some snow for a few days, which quickly turned to black silt on the sides of the road. But for a few days we enjoyed a white holiday season, which is pretty uncommon for Victoria.

During that cold week, the hot water boiler in my work's building broke down. Everyone was sitting at their desks typing away with tuques, scarves, jackets and gloves. I ended up buying a cheap fan heater for under my desk, and that warmed me up enough to get by without a jacket and extra clothing. That was a pretty rough work week until I got that heater, but it was entertaining anyhow.

We've had some fun little events at work to celebrate the season. We decorated our quads, enjoyed some holiday snacks with hot chocolate, Irish cream, cider, egg nog, rum, cookies and candy, enjoyed a holiday dinner event, and next week we'll be having a potlock lunch before the break. My family has also enjoyed some time decorating the Christmas tree, having a nice big roast beef dinner, and doing some Christmas shopping together. So all in all, it's been a pretty good month so far.

Today I will be braving the busy malls to get my last Christmas gift. Later this evening I'm going to a friend's bachelor party. Then later tonight I'm probably going to see Eragon with Asuka. Sunday I'll be hanging out with Men's Club, as we usually do once a week. Then it's just four more days before I have a 10-day break from work, which will include Christmas, lots of relaxing, enjoying some time with my wife (who's also done school for the semester), a New Year's party at Davin's, and whatever else happens to come up. So it promises to continue being an interesting December. Happy Holidays!

Yah, though the one on the right deformed over time to look more like Jabba the Hutt.
