1. Alex, my sweet, handsome, charming little cousin who I love like I think I'd have loved a little brother if I had one. He was so wonderful at his party tonight, and I love how much he loves me and enjoys my company. He's got one of my headshots framed on his dresser in his room. I love that. I love him!
2. Decorating my grandmother's Christmas tree. It's my single favorite part about the holidays.
3. Volunteering at a holiday party/charity lunch at a Catholic church in my grandma's neighborhood. Those kids were adorable, and I find that the holidays always make me want to do something for people.
4. Quantom of Solace. Another badass Daniel-Craig-playing-a-James-Bond-that-actually-kicks-ass movie. And the Bond girl in this one was SUPERB. You keep waiting for her to get dumbed down through sex or stupidity, and she never does. Plus, I have to say that she is the single most attractive woman I've ever seen, no exaggeration. She gets a great story with super high stakes, and she plays them at full while balancing sexy and strong. She was definitely the best part of the movie.
Between moving mattresses and more holiday activities at my grandmother's house, my cousins' birthday party, the party this morning, and all the visiting with my great-grandmother, I'm beat. Simple things tire me out lately, and I think it's because I've not allowed myself to have a serious depressive episode since I've been home. I think holding off on that method of release is just wearing me out, because even decorating a tree takes a lot out of me right now. And everyone know the situation, so they check in a lot, which is lovely of them, but it just makes me more tired sometimes. I want to find something else that burns off that tiredness soon. I haven't pulled out my painting stuff since I've been home. Maybe I will do that tomorrow.
