Finals, Moving, Cat, and Work

So the next week coming up is going to be insane! It's our last real week of classes which means that it truly is crunch time. I know I've been saying that for weeks but now its really here! Each class is trying to wrap up as much stuff as they possibly can in these few days before our tests next week and it's more than stressful. I don't handle stress easily anyway but this is nuts! We are also moving this week! Yikes! I promise to get our new address out to those who want it asap but for now I'd say just send stuff to our work address if you need to mail something. I'm so excited to move. our friends who live(d) there we helped move yesterday and I felt so snoopy! I kept looking around and trying to picture where we would put things or where I would hang up pictures. They didn't seem to mind. Their new place is awesome, but I gotta say that the place they are leaving is pretty great too! It has even more room than I remembered from the first time I saw it. The sad part though is the big beautiful couch my mother in law was going to give us cannot fit. Not that the living room isn't big enough or the doorways to narrow, but there is a 90 degree angle to get it into the door and not enough space to swing the massive couch around and fit it. Linda said she would look and see if there was a way. She's really good at that. I'm hopeful, but Casey is skeptical.
We also got a cat. He's a year old male, neutered, with all his shots and a chip. We found him free to a good home in the paper because he old owners had to leave him with their parents and move to a place that didn't allow pets. We went and met him and he is huge and black with green eyes. We've decided to call him Blitzen. It fits with the season and Casey and I formed an inside joke about his electric green eyes. Blitz in German means lightning so we are complete dorks. Anyway, I'm excited to expand our family unit a bit more.
Work work work.....Good points....getting plenty of hours to save up money...bad points, busiest season of the year and I've had to forgo some very fun activities because I've been working odd hours. I'd been planning to go shopping with my sister-in-law but that couldn't happen, and I wanted to go on a trip to visit my other sister-in-law but there's not much of a chance of that happening. I really hope I get to do SOME of the fun things I had planned this month. I still have so much to do. I have goodies to make and deliver, I have some crafts I HAVE to finish before Christmas!!!! There aren't enough hours in the day.
I'm sure I'm not the only person feeling the end of the year crush. I'm sure I'll get through it just fine.(Although being a stress eater around all these goodies is really bad for my diet!) But that's why we keep on keeping on! :0)
