Today feels nothing at all like Christmas. I am at work, sitting in the dark typing away on this computer. My parents are at home, they are going quading with friends since they don't have us kids there with them. My sister in law and niece are celebrating. Madison needs it. She is nearly 3 and little kids need to celebrate this holiday. My brother is deployed, I rarely hear from him, I sure do miss him. And James. James has been gone 11 months so far. Deployed to that shit hole of a country. I never got to say good bye because when he left I was over there myself. I have gotten to see him for 5 days this year which I don't think is nearly enough!
I can't complain too much though. I did get to email him back and forth a little bit this morning. I'll take that. I don't know. It all feels so weird, so un familair. I tried to stop at the gas station on my way to work this morning. I was going to get coffee and a water and maybe some chips or something to hold me over while I am at work, but they were closed. Weird, I didn't know gas stations closed on Christmas. This entry is pointless I am aware but I just had to get out there that today does not feel like Christmas at all to me.
