…from the bottom of my heart. i hope you get everything you asked for and more and that the day passes quickly and without difficulty.
…the week before christmas is always the most stressful time in my house. the majority of my family members are fake and this is the only time when they all see each other, with gifts to give “only because they do not want to show up emptyhanded”. and then the person on the recieving end of the gift does their best to smile and show enthusiasim for a gift that is useless to them. why go out and buy a fancy gourmet salad “drizzle” and tongs and spices and wrap it up to give to a guy who hates to cook?
…the day before christmas is the worst. mum ends up being sick from stress and just plain crazy. i know how to clean, and do a good job. but on christmas eve she hollers like i’m 11 and have never done this before. but i’m used to it (20 years later)…but it still gets on your nerves.
…christmas eve also means the requirement of going to church. i have not gone to church (aside from attending baptismals/confirmations of my neices and nephews) in 10 years. but every year, they ask me, will you be joining us this year for church?
“no”.
…so tonite i will go to bed, and sleep as long as i can. wake up with my little sister, do the “present” thing, and hopefully find someone to go to coffee with or somewhere to escape to until dinner time.
…then i’m off to see “alien vs. predator: requiem”…WOOOOOOOOO!
