priceless

long day eve

my feet hurt. i just had a foot spa and a pedicure but my feet hurt. i had to walk around a lot in the city in the wrong pair of shoes (i really need to invest in a couple more comfy pairs).

on the bright side i got my checks today, although the one from my employee fund not as much as i had hoped. i knew it was a good idea to start getting that fund now. if it takes this long to get anything processed i might get it in 2011 if i waited until i resigned. as it is i am quite disappointed that i could not get it in one go.

tomorrow's deadly schedule as follows:
430AM : wake up, breakfast, bath
6AM : hair and makeup
7AM : jacob picks me up, pack up everything in car
8AM : be at hotel (not really quite sure why we had to go all together from hotel to church. i really could have used those extra hours sleeping.)
10AM : wedding
12:30-ish : reception
(but knowing how these things go, i am certain everything will be running later than planned. oh well.)
3PM : ideally must be leaving for the dojo
330PM : bath, change into practice clothes
5PM : practice
730PM : christmas party

i hope i have enough strength and energy left at the end of the day for practice.

moments like these i'm cheered by the thought of jacob's presence.

it is done

so things have been falling into place oh-so-perfectly. and last tuesday i finally did the talk with my boss and... in less than four months my life will be shifting.

meanwhile, i badly need to resume my writing because i'm getting more scattered by the day. I keep forgetting things and details and i get so easily excited by the thoughts of a new life and i am like a kid who can't sleep and can't eat waiting for the carnival day to arrive.

tonight i finished two batches of cheesecakes. one batch for orders. one batch for sampling plus a big tray for a christmas gift for jacob's family. (his mom said i could sell the cakes for more. hmm...)

tonight jacob and i worked together in the kitchen, with me assisting him in grilling his special recipe shrimp. dinner was leisurely and extended. the place smelled of buttery lemony garlicky grilled shrimp. super super yum!

tomorrow i am on leave but i need to go to the office for one last meeting. and then i need to pick up my sideline check and do a bit of banking.

i'm way behind a lot of to-dos but i'm hoping to catch up properly after the whole ado over shunsui and nanao-chan's wedding.

i got me a Kindle, by the way. i love it to bits.
