Inauguration Day
I’ll keep this part brief because if you want to read about the inauguration there are many places that can sum it up better. Honestly, for me, Obama’s speech was excellent. I’m not politically minded, and don’t have a lot of opinions on politics so I can’t confidently discuss those things. But the speech made much sense to me and I’m hopeful the sentiments presented in the words spoken are what we have to look forward to.
And the benediction from Dr. Joseph Lowery was like a cherry on the top, cause it was awesome and made me laugh. :P
Aside from that, where have I been the last few days? Just busy.
Saturday I was supposed to spend the day with my mom but she ended up getting called into work, so after the weekly trip to the Humane Society to play with the kitties I ended up just chilling out and playing EQ2. It was nice because I haven’t played in a while, so got caught up finishing up quests. Little things, but it felt like a lot was accomplished. Nothing wrong with that feeling.
The pet tags I ordered came in last week so my crazy monkeys are finally tagged, and the worry about what happens if one of them gets out of the house has relaxed a bit. They of course didn’t really like the new weight around their necks, but they’ve gotten over it. Eventually they’ll each be micro chipped as well, but micro chipping six cats is a little too expensive to do all at once.
Sunday I spent 9+ hours on the phone with my best friend back home in Wisconsin. Yep that’s right, 9+ hours. What can I say, our phone conversations are EPIC.
Aaaaaaaaand I’ve finished my first knitting project! Like most “first knitting projects” it was a scarf, but it came out pretty good, in my opinion, and at the very least, I’m proud of it. I also knit a cat toy right afterwards that only took me an hour to knit up. The cats went nuts for it, but then I’m pretty sure it was more for the catnip inside of it, rather than the fantastic knitting job I did. Planning on making a bunch more, since now I know the pattern they should knit up much quicker.
On the work front, in addition to learning that no one will be receiving raises this year, we got an email on Monday that 401k matching is suspended until further notice. It’s rather disappointing news. While being upset and disappointed, I have to remind myself that I should be thankful that I still have a job, especially in the light that on Friday alone 50,000 jobs were eliminated across the country.
Which brings me to the news of Circuit City closing. While I have no loyalty to Circuit City itself, it was the only electronics store in our town, and I’m going to miss it. When I went in on Saturday to check out the liquidation sales, the place was even busier than it was on Black Friday. And after all that I only purchased three movies.
