Happy Christmas everyone!
Very good day today. Pancakes in the morning, lots of gifts, visits from friends and family snugging!
Lots of photos taken, too. It was nice to watch the birds outside, and the squirrel hanging upside down to get to the suet. Our Christmas tree is gorgeous, and this year it is in the family room where we see it all the time.
We went out and bought vegan treats in advance, so I am well stocked for festive feed!
Christmas Eve on WoW was amazing, by the way. Many were online, and there was gifting and merrymaking! Moral of the evening: The 10th level noob you do a good deed for may have a 42nd level main that goes on to buy you a whole new set of gear. Yes, that was very cool! Eveline likes her new clothing and having a new friend! (Or two, depending how you look at it.) Everyone is so helpful on WoW. It's virtual, but still nice of them to share!
If this day could stand alone, it would be perfectly good. But there are a many things weighing on my heart, things that lead back to me, and to my family. I don't really know how to be fine right now. It is so hard to be at home with little Raziel gone; my mom got me a kitten calendar as a gift, and it made me cry. I've lost my Green Journal, so I am going to have to take one of the blank ones on my shelf back to my place. I really wanted to have a journal that was finished, and I do not feel like this is a good point in time for me to begin writing in a new one due to how inactive I feel. I twinge with anger everytime I hear a Frank Sinatra Christmas song, which is almost all the time since my family has a compliation CD and they're constantly on the radio. I shouldn't be hating on Sinatra. It is making my Christmas week le suck.
I hate having to criticize and complain...I know it is better for everyone around me when I am cheerful. But my issues regarding those around me do not go away and I am hurting myself regardless of whether I voice anything. This has been a crazy year.
