It wasn't just me, apparently.

Weird morning. I went to sleep quite late last night - showered, and read a few pages in some book - and was a bit worried I'd oversleep, just because I had arranged to see a friend early today. That, however, was not an issue. At about 6.20 AM I was shook awake by what I thought was the construction work in the railway tunnel they're building beneath our house, and since the activity in said tunnel has been quite loud at times, I went back to sleep for another hour. Later, when I met up with my friend, she asked me "Did the earthquake wake you up?", and I finally managed to add things up, realising that construction work probably doesn't make your bed sway for 10 seconds! The papers say it was a 4.7 - the highest in Sweden since 1904.

Christmas preparations are coming along rather nicely: 2 ½ gifts done, 2 ½ to go! Train tickets were booked a couple of months ago, and since I'll be away until January 2nd, I've even arranged for my mail to be sent to my parents (which obviously is where I'm going) for the duration of my stay.

OK, nonsense, OT, personal post today, but it's what I've got for now. I believe it's time for a quick nap now, and later the Feast of Winter Veil awaits. :)

Am I tired? Don't know, better not check.

I only slept about four hours last night, due to some RL turbulence, but oddly enough, I'm not very tired. At least not as long as I keep myself busy. After spending some time on the phone, and reading stuff online, I think I'm going to make my self look a bit less like an unmade bed, and go out on the town to see if I can find some Christmas presents.

WoW-wise, I don't have a lot to say - I'm kind of excited about the Winter Veil event, and will check it out later tonight - mostly I'm just sick of my own voice, in general.

Ah, I just got a message from a friend - we'll be having coffee tomorrow morning, and I think I'll postpone the Christmas shopping until then. It'll be nice to actually meet someone in person, for a change - it's been a while, since everyone's so caught up in the pre-Christmas-craze.
