It cost 820 kronor ($92). This, after paying 920 kronor ($103) LAST week for x-rays and cleaning. Then again, I am VERY good at my job and if I had to spend my days scraping nasty stuff off people&#8217;s disgusting teeth I would do nothing but gag nonstop. ICK.<\/p>\n<p>Scraped ice off the car windows this morning for the first time. Winter is coming.<\/p>\n<p>The AWC board is brainstorming things we can do at the monthly meetings to try and increase attendance and participation. The meetings typically consist of a guest speaker and the board members providing information on current club business and upcoming events. We&#8217;ve had feedback that it would be nice if they had more time for socializing. We hold 9 monthly meetings a year at the moment, though that might change as well, due to expenses. One of those is the Annual Meeting which has the year-in-review, complimentary treats, and board elections. One is the media\/book sale and one is the holiday cookie exchange. So that means we need ideas for 6 meetings. One suggestion we&#8217;ve come up with: hold various swaps at the meetings instead of making them a separate event, like jewelry\/accessories, recipes, plant cuttings, liquor cabinet clean-out. Other ideas include: board games, after-work mingle format at a bar\/hotel, cake walk, bake sale, kid stuff loppis\/swap, business expo, silent auction. <b>Can you think of any other fun, social activities we could do?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been half-sick with a half-cold for what feels like forever&#8230;at least a couple of weeks. I am tired, achey, out of sorts and even more sniffly and sneezy and nose-blowy than usual (which is a LOT). I haven&#8217;t been sick enough to stay home from work, really, but I am definitely off my game while I&#8217;m there. UGH. On the one hand, I wish I would just be SICK already, but on the other, I am afraid that next week when I take 3 days off and we go to Berlin for a mini-vacation that THAT is when the cold will triumph. Double UGH. <\/p>\n<p>Any tips for Berlin? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I cannot wait for the US election to be over.
