Today is my Friday at work. THANK GOD. It's been a long, rough week, and I'm happy to see it go. I even made it through the whole day at work. Nice.

Work has been pretty steady. Thankfully not too crazy with all of my absences lately, but definitely enough to do. Christian had his interview at work for a new job today. I'm a little confused by this new job...supposedly it's a higher, managerial classification, but it's salaried, so it sounds like he wouldn't be taking home as much as he does now in the end. I guess we'll see what happens after the interviews and go from there.

Today, we officially booked his trip to Mexico. I mentioned a while back that his grandmother is very ill...she basically raised him when he was younger, so he's been taken it pretty hard. He's gone home to visit twice since we started dating....right away, shortly after we met in 2001, and then in 2006. So, apparently we're on a 5 year cycle. His mom was thinking of going with him, but the tickets are too expensive, so she's not able to go. His friend from work is actually going to go with him. Any excuse for a vacation I suppose! I know Christian was really nervous about traveling there alone, so I think that was pretty comforting to him. So, tickets are purchased, and he has his vacation request in. I'm a little nervous for another week of single parenting, but it actually ended up being kind of relaxing last time. My big concern with being on my own is fitting in my workouts.

The girls seem to be feeling a bit better. Amelia still isn't sleeping well, and Olivia has her cough. Olivia was obsessed with Rico tonight...they usually don't pay any attention to the cats, but for some reason, they were BFF's tonight.
