A Short Work Week For Me and Other Gift Updates

Tweet

Today is my last working day for this week, then tomorrow starts my short Christmas break. After this, I only need to work a couple more days as well, next Monday and Tuesday and then I am off until after the New Year's. Last year, I was off the entire time and I sort of regretted it because there were some stuff that needed my attention that got piled over the following year. It also helps with the emails - so when I get back in January I am hoping that I do not have hundreds of emails to plow through. UPS delivered an important purchase yesterday, and this purchase is high value so the vendor insured it and I have to sign for it. Well, imagine my dismay when I received a notice that they have delivered it and left it by our front door without me signing for it. Thank goodness we have security cameras, but if it starts snowing then the item will get wet and that is not good. This item is a gift for myself, I have been saving up for it for three years - yes it took that long because it is a luxury item and in my book, luxury items should not be paid using my savings. I have to have a separate way to save up for it. Last month, I was able to save the remaining $182 needed to complete it, most of these money came from my side gig for data encoding and Amazon. I also got notification that my gift for my husband will be delivered today. But looks like we will have another delivery from Fedex due to arrive today as well. I tried to ask my husband about it and he denied it, which is suspicious because I know what I bought, and everything is accounted for. I think this is his gift for me. I should hide my excitement.
