Breakneck Speed - That's Me Right Now

I'm bouncing a few texts and graphics in the background right now while writing this, crossing my fingers that I don't close the wrong window - LOL. I't my "day off" that isn't today. Chickie was up at 4:00 am and her Dad's open heart surgery begins in an hour or so, so I'll be keeping her family in my thoughts today while I work her shift. It's still cold (curently -3F  -19.4C), and I'm still in the final stages of my holiday cards. I'm running a bit late on these, my firm deadline for getting them into the mail is Winter Solstice, and that's approaching at breakneck speed. 

I'm cruising at a breakneck pace right now - lots of things
and lots of fires. I'll get it all done, but it's crunch time. 

I'm in the final assembly stages, though, and if all goes well and I get a chance to do envelopes on Friday, the lot will hit the mail on Saturday/Sunday. Yeah - cutting it SO close. I managed to contact FedEx regarding the mis-shipped package and arranged to pick it up from a local FedEx hub store on my way home from work tonight. What a mess. At least I managed to get that somewhat OK, though. I don't think I'll be ordering from that company again, though. 

I've got a video to share with all of you. Click on the link here to watch
this short, 2+ minute commercial for a Filipino phone company. You
don't need to understand the language to appreciate the dedication
of these two young men for their friend. A true winner for this holiday season,
and a Star Wars tie-in for those who care. Make sure to watch it through
to the end to get the twist. 

I have a good LJ friend who had a problem adding a comment onto yesterday's post. I went into my profile and all of that stuff, but can't really find any reason why she would suddenly not have permission to post a reply to my blog. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. She's a long-time friend and she's certainly posted comments to my blog in the past - quite often, in fact. I don't understand why she suddenly had a problem with that. 

On that note, I'm going to get this posted, rescue my laundry from the dryer, and try to get a bit more done on my cards before heading to work. Have an excellent Wednesday and I'll be back tomorrow and I'll miss talking to you today, Aearwen! Next week for SURE!!!
