The ups and downs of the weekend. 2003-12-05 - 4:59 p.m. Alas! No Toronto for me this weekend. There were many good reasons not to go which I stubbornly ignored for as long as I could, but when push came to shove I had to beg off this morning. That�s bad. No one yet knows we�ll be in town this weekend. This means I can now clean the house and buy and wrap presents and Hub and I even picked up the Christmas tree today so we�ll be able to trim it this weekend. That�s good. Hub has a friend moving Saturday and now feels obligated to help, plus he has to do some work-related stuff now that we�ll be in town. That�s bad. (Well, not totally bad in the sense that we�re happy to help friends move but bad in the sense that our stolen time is already being impinged upon.) We do have Sunday unaccounted for and I�ve made Hub promise to disregard his almost pathological need to answer the phone and screen calls so we don�t get sucked into distractions. That�s good. Some stores that I want to go to aren�t going to be open on Sunday. That�s bad. We will make it to the gym this weekend. That�s good. And I really need to go because I�m still freaked out by how much I weigh these days and Christmas eating hasn�t even started yet. That�s bad. Very bad. If all goes well I will get the papers finally filled out to file for our New Housing Rebate which should mean a couple of thousand dollars coming to us. That�s good. Very good. That money is added to your taxable income for the year, which makes zero sense to me since it�s a rebate on tax you�ve already paid out. They give you relief from one tax and then tax a percentage of it right back from you? Gyp! That�s bad. My sister finally emailed me a response (and non-snarky at that) about scheduling for Christmas and agreed to arrive as early and stay as late as we need her to accommodate everyone�s holiday plans. That�s good. And... I�ve got dinner plans with awesome friends to celebrate birthdays this coming week. Good. I�ve got Christmas parties coming up and fun will hopefully be had by all. Good! I think I�ll be semi-ready for Christmas after this weekend. Good again! I�ll get to spend time with family over Christmas and Hub probably even has Christmas and Boxing Day off (my fingers are crossed) so we can spend some time together as a married couple for our first Christmas! Yay! The good-est!

That means no swiping my stuff - text, images, etc. - without asking.
