Happy Thanksgiving!

What I did on Thanksgiving: Got up early in an attempt to be at work early and therefore leave early. Did not work. Completed two items from my to-do list in the morning. Went for a 3 km walk in a tunnel climbing over tunnel equipment and wading through 12-in deep muck. Got hassled by the guys in the tunnel for being short. Sat in a two hour meeting. Added 6 more items to my to-do list. Had small talk after the meeting discussing the differences between annual leave in the US (2 weeks) and Australia (4 weeks + whatever you want to buy + long service leave). Discussed upcoming work with my Australian colleague who is going on holiday (again). Added 4 more items to my to-do list. Paid way too much for a haircut (but at least it came with a head massage and a coffee). Paid only a little too much for a few bottles of wine. Came home to a Thanksgiving dinner (courtesy of my awesome boyfriend). ß highlight of the day! Ate dessert first. Drank a bottle of wine while packing for our weekend
