Where do I begin?
So much going on, and it's all boring.
I've yet to go to the doctor-- yeah, stubborn is me, plus I hate the raise in the co-pay-- I simply can NOT seem to get over this chest thing. I'm more and more wondering if I had some sort of pnuemonia or however it's spelled back in October, and it's just hanging on in the form of chronic bronchitis, or has turned into some mutant form of asthma. Then there's school, where I constantly feel more and more like I'm being set up as the "flavor of the moment" as I've been asked if I want the plummy job of "intersession", which is a way of making money while on vacation, and since Mr. C. became principal, only the Chosen are ever asked.
I'm being resolute in my decision to not get another dog-- it's hard, I so miss my Sam-I-Am and doggies in general, but I am forcing myself to be "satisfied" with the four cats (three of which are NOT supposed to be here).
The downstairs neighbor's psychotic brother has been silent since the confrontation of a month ago, but today when Jessica and I came back from the store, as we were unloading the trunk of her car, he came around the corner, and had such a SCOWL on his face that I, well-hidden by the garage wall by then, cheerfully smiled and waved at him. Should have done it in the open, but damn, he was scary-looking!
I managed to get Christmas gifts for my entire class this year, but as I was playing the White Elephant game with them, I ended up taking FIVE gifts back to ToyZam! and exchanging them for something more desirable. But I also managed to get my niece a gift this year for the first time in ages, as well as sister, though bro-in-law got short-changed. I didn't get anything for the other sister yet-- she will have to wait until the New Year, but as I never call her and she never calls me, it's not like she's expecting anything.
I've fallen behind in all my writing. I damaged my loyal laptop as well as my internet modem thingie, and hopefully will still be able to retrieve my stuff from it, but at the moment I'm using the iBook I got from school. Got wireless service FINALLY from time-warner, and it's really nice. I want Jenn to know that I WILL finally get her the story I've owed her since Last Christmas, but prolly not until the New Year.
I'm almost giving up hope of ever going to Comic-Con again-- it's become such a mega-mess that I don't think it's worth the hassle. All the people I've met over the past few years seem to be bailing on it as well, and for me 2008 and 2009 were great times mostly because of the people who attended. Still, to channel Romeo Void, Never Say Never....
It will be two years since Mother died this year. Strange. And I found out a month or so ago that her eldest brother had died in March! Only one left now, I really better make the effort to write him a note. Still don't have my Christmas cards bought, so people will probably be getting late ones from me if I ever find any I like.
The year is coming to an end quicker than I thought it would. The cable guy today said he could hardly wait-- 2010 had been a very bad year for him, and it could not end soon enough. I know that feeling from previous years.
I hope we all do well in the coming year. So Merry Christmas, everyone.
Sorry for no cut, but I'm too lazy to do it!
