  A new episode of FRIENDS comes on tonight! I’m very excited! And Chris doesn’t have to work tonight, so we get to spend some time together!! Today is a good day – so far. Tomorrow we get free flu shots here at work. Nice little incentive they give us here at my work.
It’s free for me & Chris, but there’s no way I’ll be able to get Chris around a needle much less have him volunteer to be stuck by one. Today I find myself stuffing envelopes with invites to each state treasurer for the National Association of State Treasurers meeting here in NYC. Our company is hosting a dinner and program for them, which includes Jeff Greenfield (political commentator and reporter) as speaker. Meanwhile, I’m also looking for flights home for Christmas. These airlines are really sticking it to us with these holiday fares! Normally, it costs me about $225-$250 to fly home roundtrip. For Christmas, I’m seeing fares anywhere from $285 on up.
I still don’t know if Chris will get to come home for Christmas. I keep trying to get him to give me an answer so that I can go ahead and get tickets. Little known fact: Tuberculosis was New York City’s leading killer in 1913. It was also known as consumption because of the way it consumed its emaciated victims.
