I hope you have all had merry holidays, or at least pleasant days off. There was a time when having my B'day so close to Xmas made December for me the merriest of all. Now it just seems to double the darkness. Doesn't help that the 15th would have been my Mom's (I think) 71st. Even last year, as she was preparing to pass on the reins, she was the primary organizer of family gatherings. This year is was just me, my dad, and my brother getting together. Nothing fancy or festive. You wouldn't have been able to tell it was a holiday if it weren't for the handful of gifts we opened.
The days before I received some books, and more importantly, some handwritten letters from the Harper and family. So I was safely able to approach sharp objects during this period.
My father has been reigniting an old flame out West. I knew he was considering moving out that way. During xmas dinner he made it clear he has his mind set on it. He'll be visiting for a week from the 1st to the 8th and will be scouting things out during that time. As soon as the kitchen is done here and he has a place to go he plans to sell the house here and move out. I'm glad he's not going to be alone but it still feels weird as hell, for the obvious reasons and others I can't talk about.
Now I'm off to get my phone replaced (apologies to anyone who's tried to reach me) and do some laundry. Maybe I'll have time to get the car inspected as well.
I might list booty later, no promises.
