For all its charms -- sometimes Peterborough just drains me. I need to get out of town for a few days. I decided to go up to see my parents for a few days earlier than planned just so that I don't have to be in my apartment with my phone and work.
Decorating the Christmas tree in our apartment was somehow the final straw for me. I couldn't handle putting up the ornaments that my grandmother gave me when I was young. It's funny that when you think you've made peace with something, a random object or moment will send you right back. I felt as if she had just died yesterday.
Moms, Pops and I spent the whole night listening to music, talking and drinking wine. A stretch, I know, from a normal night. Now I have a little insomnia, but it's sweet that their guest room has a computer in it (albeit dial-up... *sigh*).
Understand what I've become, it wasn't my design
