Hello November

Thank goodness you are here. I've been looking forward to you this year.

I'm very excited that you are bringing Thanksgiving in a few weeks. Not because I have anything fun to do for Thanksgiving... I'm probably going to eat sushi and watch Starz this year. But Thanksgiving means that I have TWO EXTRA DAYS OFF WORK!!!!!! That means two fantastic days free from thinking about IT controls, and two days without the shrill sound of my three alarm clocks going off at 6 am, and two days that I might actually be able to take long showers and do laundry and go shopping and stay up late... so many possibilities!

And I'm especially excited that you're only one page on my calendar away from December... which happens to be when I'm going on vacation for an entire WEEK!! And when I'm going to California!

If you want to be really nice then maybe you could even bring some sunny weather? I will promise not to complain too much about the 35-degree days if you could just be so thoughtful as to hold off on the rain and snow.

I would really, really like it if we could be friends. Especially after October was so mean to me this year. I'm secretly hoping that you and I will get along much better. In fact, if you can just be friendly, I will finally work on getting over June, July, and August...
