Finally Calming Down...
So things are finally calming down for me! My seasonal position at Hickory Farms has ended. Part of me is just elated! Part of me will miss that job. I was actually appreciated for being intelligent. Plus, that job was easy easy easy!
I got my social security name change thing going. I'm just waiting on my new card. One less thing for me to worry about these days. I still have to get my license changed to an Ohio state one though. I've been pretty lazy about that, I admit.
JJ and I have to focus on getting registered for Spring semester classes pretty soon here. We're excited, but we're also nervous. I've never had to work AND go to school before. A large part of me wonders if I'll be able to make it work.
I feel the need to work on my fanfiction here, being as I've neglected it for so very long now. I promised my readers and update back in....October. Oops!
My Christmas was a nice one. I got mostly clothes, which I desperately needed. I also got a few books and odds and ends. Movies that I wanted, money, etc. It was a nice year. One of the nicest things about the holidays was that JJ's dad was able to make it to spend Christmas with us. We were pretty worried about how he'd react to spending his first holiday alone after the divorce. Plus, I knew that JJ rarely got to see his father, even less now that we'd moved. I think it did us all some good.
JJ's dad seemed like he had a really nice time too. I was worried that he'd feel uncomfortable around my family since he'd only met them once before and that had been just a month ago at the wedding. He was a little nervous on Christmas eve, but he seemed to be much more comfortable the next day. He was even chatty, a quality which is rather unusual for him. I was glad he had a good time. Unfortunately, I didn't get to say goodbye since he had to leave with my grandfather while I was at work.
I'm just glad the holidays were kind to us and that we all managed to find a way to be together. It was nice to be with family and spend time.
