bktheirregularJust did the numbers and realized I'm headed home for the holidays in less than two weeks.
Haven't started packing. Haven't hardly planned. Still need to visit the pharmacy, get my suitcase out of the attic, and go out and get a fair-sized laptop bag (not so much for the laptop itself - it's one of those ultralights I got on the cheap - as to carry a bunch of other things in a bag that'll fall under the laptop carry-on exception).
Everyone's getting ready for Christmas; they put up a tree in the lobby of the office building, in the stand upside-down for some reason (something from the German, perhaps? I don't know). Lights are being strung up everywhere, and Christmas music is piping in through the speakers down in the metro. A bit subdued compared to a place like New York, perhaps, but Athens is in a smaller city, and in the middle of a recession besides.
Anyway, the way everything shakes out, I'll be home from Christmas Eve until January 5. Flying through London, so we'll have to see how that works out on Christmas Eve.
