The forecasted snow fall never occurred, I'm not sad about that and I don't mind waiting a while longer to fire up the snowthrower. There will be piles of the stuff soon enough.
I'm looking forward to this week's workload at the office. Though I like to be kept busy to the point of being on the brink of disaster the last three weeks or so has been near the DEFCON 1 level - I'm hoping for something like DEFCON 3 to carry me into the Holidays. The work that has keep me the busiest through this time has been the type I enjoy - just too many things at once. Also, I have at least 6 days of vacation left for the year that I'd like to scatter amongst the remainder of 2008. I do need to start thinking about Christmas shopping, I've ordered a couple of items, got another couple in mind but still need a few more ideas. The extended family Christmas gatherings will happen before and after the actual Christmas Day which will be just Carol , Ian and I. On the Sunday before we're having Carol's side of the family over for a brunch style get together, then on the Saturday (I think) after Christmas my side will have our traditional get together at my mother's house. Usually the three events get spread over a slightly longer period of time so this year works out real well. Next weekend I'll install the Christmas tree (it's artificial so it's installed) and after Ian comes home from college he'll decorate it with Carol's timely suggestions. Perhaps we'll even have some snow for the occasion. Can't wait.
