The weather is going to get crappy soon so today I bundled up and got out the bike. Sasha wasn't happy about being left alone, but I haven't gotten a basket for her yet and she didn't like it when I put her in a backpack. I forgot gloves, so my hands were freezing by the time I got home, but I did miss it and I got some really great pics I'll have to upload soon.
I'm finding that the cold here is all mind over matter and to dress warmly where ever I go. I found some really awesome, super fluffy, indoor/outdoor slippers that I pretty much wear whenever I can. I'm thinking of going back to the store and getting another pair if they're still on sale.
Mom's birthday was today and I sent her a card and some Mountain Men candy that she has been thinking about for the last 10 years. Dad got her a laptop as a present since she liked using mine while I was there for a month and I made her a skype account so that we could video chat. She loves it and we video now every few days. I'm making progress on my room and as soon as it's finished I'm going to take a quick video for you folks at home. Even one of my roomies noted how it now looks like an actual bedroom instead of how sparce it was before I brought all my crap back.
I still need to switch my car insurance and buy a plane ticket to Vegas for dad's birthday. Last I looked it'll be $167, round-trip from Eugene to Vegas....non stop. I am so excited about this news, lol. I haven't found a job yet but I will start actively looking next week and we'll see what happens. For now I'm just settling in, hanging out with friends and adjusting to living in a world with seasons. I'll keep the pictures coming. Happy November everyone. :)
