moments of growth...
Wow, my first post of the year, and we're half way through January. Life has been.... interesting. My hours are finally settling giving me some time to enjoy the fruits of my labor, though not nearly as much as I'd like. I so need a vacation. This has been the busiest period I've ever had the pleasure of working through. some of the weeks have been as rough as 74 hours a week. There seemed to be a time were I'd get home around 1 and had to get up at 6 to get back to work. out of the three months I only had to call in once because I was just not physically able. I woke up and checked my e-mail and I couldn't make out the text no matter how hard I tried I walked back to the bedroom and became dizzy so I just laid in bed. After calling into work I slept nearly the entire day. If there was anything to tell you to slow down, that was it. Through that I've had some good times too.
The Holidays were wonderful. Thanksgiving was great and Christmas was even better. Not for anything I got, but just being around my family. Anything I received over Christmas was overshadowed by my Mother. My brother and I decided to give it a shot and get some things she really wanted. Present after present she got so excited she acted like a little kid. She was so happy she actually started crying, which just made us feel good. We gone through our fair share of crappy Christmas' and rough times, especially after my Father passed away, it was just nice to be able to have a nice Christmas for once.
New Years was also really good. It was nice to see everyone even though I thought I was going to fall over. It was nice to know that everyone had a good time and we were just all together. My only regret was not being awake enough to enjoy it more and that I got SO MUCH FOOD. I'm not going to want Italian beef for a long time after eating it everyday for a week @_@
Last year I made a new years resolution of just being a better person. Just something simple. If you give yourself reachable goal, you might actually REACH THEM. So this year I've been thinking about relationships. Not only the one I have with Nikki, but the one I have with my family and the one I have with all of you. Friendship is important to me, and as Hector made me realize I don't see you guys nearly as much as I should. So I plan on doing more to make myself available. Try and make some "hangout time" Shit even if I see Hector one more time this year that's about twice as much I've hung out with him compared to last year. O_o
Nikki and I are doing well. I've tried to better our relationship too. I try to take some time to hangout and chat and do the boyfriend thing. We've been together for a little over 6 years and it doesn't even feel like it's been that long really. Sometimes I do the creepy boyfriend stuff to, like coming home and taking a few moments to watch her sleep. After a couple minutes I think of what might happen if she ever woke up and caught me, that'd be a kinda awkward moment, no? It's just nice to know that in our own odd little world we're happy, and that's what's most important.
