I'm totally excited to go home and completely relieved that my finals are done and that I've done so well on them all. (Grad Counseling final class grade 95.6%, Alaska History -unknown, but probably pretty damn good after the optimistic final exam and great presentation/paper). But I can't help that I've forgotten something... like I forgot to tell the dog sitter something, or that Wrangler is going to freak out when he doesn't see me tomorrow. I know he's in good hands, and that "he's just a dog," but he's my everything.
Did I mention that it was Effin' cold the past couple of days?!
Don't believe me... check this out:
Yeah, it kinda sucked. Especially since indoor plumbing doesn't magically appear at -40F. But you know what does magically appear at temperatures that cold? FROSTBITE! I helped Kara (the dogsitter) jump her car the other morning, and it was -38F the whole time we were outside Stupidly I didn't wear my crazy-ass elf boots, so my toes started to become numb, and VERY cold. Thankfully the elf boots were in the car and I pulled over and changed into them in the middle of the drive, and cranked the heat to the feet as much as I could. It was iffy for a bit. I did take a picture of the lovely ice and frost that I get on the windows because of humidity and draft.
Did I mention I'm probably not sleeping tonight. I brought my pillow down to the couch so that I could be with Wrangler for a little bit before I have to leave. But in order to grab a shower and drive to where I'm meeting Sarah at 4:30am, I'll have to wake up at like 3:30pm.The plus side of going home, being done with classes, flying for 13 hours and leaving Fairbanks... Knitting, indoor plumbing, knitting, and SHOPPING.
Send me happy yarn thoughts, and that I should stop being such a damn worry wart.
Merry Christmas (soon)!
