Merry Ho Ho Ho

So ... Merry Christmas to everybody who still peeks in to read this now and then. You probably won't read it today, but it'll be here waiting for you when you do.

It was a small Christmas this year with the family. This year, I received a gift card for Chapters/Coles, a bath accessory set, a nail care set, and, following with the usual family tradition, I got socks. I have yet to see what my brother/sister-in-law got me ... and I have no clue if I'll get a present from Jade or not.

We're moving locations at work next week; moving further south. I'm not looking forward to the drive coming up, so I've been keeping my eye out for a nice pet friendly place closer to work. By the end of February, I'll be ready to make a new start somewhere. Or, I thought I would be. It has occurred to me that I don't have any furniture. And it's a lot harder to get away with the board across the milk crate for table or bench or shelf ... and a couch made from beer cases or something or an air mattress. Heh. I've had some nice things recently ... and I want more of it. It's not enough to scrounge things and be proud of it because it's "mine". The bar has been raised and I can't lower it again.

Besides, gotta put my PartyLite on something good! LOL!

...

So it's taking me forever to write this entry today ... I keep wandering away and doing other things. Typical behaviour for me the night before something important is to happen. Christmas Eve, a party, an appointment, a first day of ... anything ... and before I have to travel somewhere. Tomorrow morning, I'm going to visit some family in Calgary. I'm really looking forward to it. Unbelievably so. One small bonus will be that it will distract me a bit from missing Jade so much.

Damn new job!

Well, there's more to it than that ... but it's moot at the moment. He's over there, I'm here and going down there, which isn't over there where he is ... and I'm missing that he's not where I am! And he's not going to be here for at least another week. So ... yeah. Makes me wanna sit against a wall with a baseball and glove ... and get rhythmic against another wall.

And if you don't know what that's in reference to ... egad!

Anyway ... it's been a pretty good day today. Lots of laughs and giggles. Proves that I'm on the mend, I guess.

Is it just me, or does every prescription medication advertised on TV have the same side effects? Doesn't matter what it's for ... it seems to cause the same problems.

I'm going to finish my adventure, pack my bags and then warm up the bed for sleep. Talk to you all later!

Sweet Dreams!
