Some random things.
[locked]
This year it doesn't feel like Christmas. I've been trying to get into the whole Christmas spirit, but I can't. I've done all the shopping, and I've filled out Christmas cards, but this year it just feels so...wrong. Why? Hell, I don't know. Probably 'cause of everything that happened this past year, and now I just want it to end. Yeah, that's probably the reason.
Whatever that reason is, though, I don't want to deal with Christmas. Since I had the feeling this was going to happen I already have a plane ticket to get out of here (I've had it since almost two months ago) so I can go somewhere else. Not New York, not Boston, and definitely not Chicago. It's booked to leave on the 22nd, and as each day passes I want more and more to really go through with it. Heh, I think I will just because, this way, I can take a small "vacation."

I'm at my mother's Elise's place again, this time just visiting. They're all going to Pittsburgh for the holidays, to spend the next week with Craig's family, and since I'm not going (they invited me but I really don't want to go) Hannah and Elise planned some sort of Christmas celebration for the five of us. Hannah's heart was set on this, so...here I am. Tomorrow we're having some sort of "early Christmas dinner" before we open presents.
Hannah already gave me something; as part of my present, and as part of Elise's, she got us an ornament. For me it's supposed to represent me being a part of their family, and for Elise it's to represent her three children. It's a good present, I've got to admit. I know that Elise is going to love it.
Here come the random things: One thing that I'm really happy about is the fact that the restaurant(s) seems to be doing just fine. We got a good demand this holiday season, too, so that's great. Work's been one of the things that have helped to keep me sane, so the more I have the better it is for me.
Ah, and the last random thing? I've been clean for three months. I'm a little bit prouder now than before, because it's been hell these past few months and I've kept away, but...can't say I'm all that excited about it yet. Maybe next month.
