where has the year gone?

Rachel posted a quiz thingy on MySpace that asked a couple of questions about each month of the past year, and it was titled "With the year winding down..." or some such. And I kind of scoffed at first, but then it hit me--we're almost halfway through November. Somehow it still feels like October to me.

I've booked my plane ticket for Canada for Christmas and New Years'. They sent out the invitations to the company Christmas party. Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK. (We're going down to see the Crawford side of the family, yay!) On Friday I'll have been at this job for four months. My GOSH. Where has this year gone? It seems like just a few weeks ago that I was hanging out with Nico's family on vacation, counting down my last days at TB. It doesn't feel possible that I've been living on my own almost a year.

I know time goes faster as you get older, but...DAMN.

(I just realized that being in Canada for New Years' means I won't be able to spend it with Nico. *tear* Ah, well, I guess that bottle of champagne will be really aged by the time we find an occasion to crack it.)

schweeeet!

I just balanced my checkbook (I do that on my lunch hour 2-3 times a week; it keeps it from interfering with computer time at home that I'd rather be spending RPing or whatnot), and my credit card payment hadn't shown up yet, even though it had cleared on my credit card's website.

This made me slightly nervous as I DID just put a $460 plane ticket on there, and that plus the previous balance would have been over my limit. Called Nico and he was all, "Um, duh, it's a bank holiday." *facepalm* I even knew that, I'd commented to Mom and Dad on how today was probably going to be a slow day for me since some schools would probably be out.

I also found out that my credit limit has been raised to $1,000 (which is double what it was)!! SWEET. ^_^

WOOT

So Nico should have technically left last Friday, but his apartment wasn't supposed to be ready until Wednesday, assuming April got her stuff out on the 9th (like she's known she had to all this last month...). Well, Nico just helped her move the last of it TODAY. >_< But when he went with her to drop off the keys he found out that they had another apartment that would be ready tomorrow. He took it.

*sigh, partly of relief*
