I love it when my work inbox is completely empty. I’ve become ruthless about managing incoming email. None shall pass!

Six days from now I’ll be on my way to Nova Scotia for the holidays. I’m quite excited; both my brothers are coming home, as are their SOs and kids (where applicable). Good thing my parents have the big farmhouse; 8 adults, 3 kids and two dogs are quite an occupying force. I’m thinking we’ll need an extra tree as well; all those presents are going to take up a lot of space. Then again, Nellie and I are doing our part to cut back on the gift volume; we’ve asked for donations to charities in our name(s) in lieu of presents.
In the meantime, we have a lot of xmas stuff yet to do. We still have to buy a lot of presents, send ~50 cards, and watch our traditional holiday movies — Die Hard and Love Actually — whilst mowing down on Swiss Chalet festive specials. I think maybe we’ve been slack on the gifts and the cards ’cause it still doesn’t feel like Christmas…no snow yet. And it’s 6 frickin’ degrees outside.

I’m also trying to finish off my last stats assignment before we go, but it turns out doing tons of regression analysis isn’t the most exciting exercise, so I’m having trouble getting through it awake.
