I just read the exaggerator's and lj's blogs, and it seems that I am not the only one who has been sick in the last couple of days. On monday, I woke up with a killer sore throat. I still went to work, but was only about half as productive as I normally am. I called in sick yesterday and today in hopes that I could fight it off quickly. I think I am on the mend and will be able to make it to work tomorrow. At least I better because I feel really badly calling in sick, especially since my boss just gave us a pep-talk on friday about how we need to have a killer december in order to meet our targets for the year. Oh well, I can't help it when I'm sick. And this was my first time missing work for sickness since I started 6.5 months ago.
Nothing too much happening here since I've pretty much spent the last 2 days in bed. At least I am well-rested!
And, now that it is december, it is officially the Christmas season!!! Up until December 1st, I find it hard to get into the Christmas spirit. Probably because my birthday is at the end of november. And a lot of people seem to celebrate Christmas for a few months! I find it hard to keep up the excitment if the celebration is that long. I mean, I have nothing against Christmas. I love the holiday in fact. I love the celebration of the birth of our Saviour. I just think it loses some of the specialness if it is celebrated for more than a month. But, that's just me. I also think a lot of the true meaning of Christmas gets lost in all the hustle and bustle. I bet a lot of people are so caught up in the "commercializing" of the season, and the true meaning of the holiday slips away. Which is really sad to me. So please, if you're reading this, take a moment to remember why we celebrate Christmas and what it truly means. It's not about the presents, Santa, or the family gatherings (although that stuff is a nice bonus!). It's the celebration of the birth of the baby Jesus who came to save the world from punishment for sin. So, think about that. Thanks! Just by doing that, you've made Christmas a little better. Okay, enough of my Christian rant ;)
