Being Sick Sucks

So, it has been long time again since I have posted. Sometimes I am just too busy, or not busy enough, to post. Since I ended up getting sick today, I though I might take the time to update this thing.

Finals finished for me on the 14th. My parents' anniversary was on the 15th. They were nice enough to invite Gaila and me to Outback in Ankeny. The rest of the time between then and the Friday before Christmas was spend working on the scholarship system at work for a release on the 26th (the 23rd and 26th were university holidays), and shopping.

Christmas weekend was actually really relaxing. I went to Ottumwa with Gaila to be with her family Friday through Sunday. The only problem with that weekend was that Becca (Gaila's sister) was sick and confined in the car on the way down and back, probably the cause for me being sick now.

Monday Gaila and I celebrated Christmas with my parents. When in Ottumwa, Gaila's uncle had given us a framed animation cell from the movie Fantasia for us to give to my dad who collects animation cells. Gaila got some new boots and I got the stuff crossed out on my wishlist plus socks. I got Gaila a gift certificate to the Apple Store for the education price of an iPod shuffle. I ordered on the 22nd with 2nd day shipping so that it would arrive in time for Christmas at my 'rents' but they didn't even get the thing out the door until today! I called Apple today and got them to refund my shipping cost.
