Does Anyone Know What Time It Is?

It's Vacation. Finally! A relaxing frantic week of where I have nine separate things to for three different classes, seven books to read, four days of work, which will more thank likely be extremely busy as the holiday shopping season ramps up into full gear. It'll be nice to actually have people buy things than just poking around. Brought Kyle to the airport, he's home for the first time in a year, pretty excited about that.
I've also been subcontracted out to help cook part of our Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday - I learned to cook bread from scratch. It's an absurdly simple recipe, although it takes over 12 hours to finish, to give it time to rise and everything. I started the prep work on it last night and had it done by three this afternoon, whereupon I brought it home. My brother's reaction:

"You made that? It looks professional."

Cue the laughter from my sister and mother. It turned out great, and everyone seemed to like it well enough, so I've started work on some more loaves. Unfortunently, I can only make one at a time, but the time to let it sit is long enough that I'll be able to start it and leave it again later on. Tasted fantastic too. Made me happy.

I am looking forwards to sleeping in over the next couple days. That and seeing people I haven't seen in a while. And you know, the whole not going to class part.

Surgery

Finally, a problem that's been plaguing me for almost a year and a half now is over with, for now. I've had ingrown toenails for that time, due to a number of reasons, from cutting them improperly and my hike down the Grand Canyon, which made things worse. It's painful and problematic, especially after it became infected. So before I head off to London, I finally got it checked out by a doctor in Burlington. I thought that I was going in for a consulting thing, but after thirty minutes, I was limping out of there with the problem somewhat fixed. Some local anestetics, some clipping of the overgrown parts of the nail and some bandaging, and problem solved. Hopefully it will last for a while.
After that, while I couldn't feel my toes, I stopped by my dad's office to help them move. Ever since KAS started, they were in an office building with a couple of other companies. Now they're in their own office a couple miles down the road. From there, I went and visited my grandmother, talked with her for a little while. She's had a bit of a rough week, because one of her neighbors died the other day, and while I was there, she recieved word that a close friend had been killed in a car accident. After that, I visited my friend Sarah, then went back home. Almost ran out of gas on the way back, then went and picked up my friend Kyle, who's spending the week with us while on break.
Yay for vacation!
