Home for Christmas!
I made it home, YAY.
Which is a good thing, because if I had to stay for some dumbass reason, I would have....well, it wouldn't have been pretty, but since it is Christmas Day and all I won't say anything too bad! Besides, I am trying not to turn this into a massive work rant.
Anyway, I am home, and that is so good. In all of my almost 31 years I have been home for Christmas. This year I was much farther away than normal, and I wasn't sure it was going to happen. Please understand that had it been NECESSARY for me to stay I would have. There wasn't.
Anyway, I have spent every single Christmas of my life in this house, and that means something to me. A lot of the time, I don't even go anywhere all day on Christmas, I just hang out with the fam, and that is fine with me. THAT is what Christmas is all about. This year, my sister is on call, and her husband has to work, but we will all still be together as much as we can. If I had had to sit in my apartment 7 or 8 hours away by myself, well that would have sucked, especially all for a job that I am not sure is working for me. The way the situation is right now is kind of effed up, and is bound to get better, but I just can't see myself doing this forever. WTF. Will I ever be happy? I thought that getting my degree was the answer, and now here I sit, still unsure.
But, I am not going to dwell on that tonight.
I will say though, that I am turning into a lightweight. Seriously. I had one Pomegranate Martini tonight and I was ready for naptime. At around 7 pm. And I am a nightowl! I rarely go to bed before 2 am! I have basically had to stay pretty coherent though, again due to my job and potential emergencies, which isn't a bad thing. I think I may just have to go in hunt of Smirnoff Ice tomorrow though. I mean today. Or maybe I will just try to perfect the Pom Martini recipe. Hmmm.
But, I don't really know where I am going with this post. Pretty random tonight. No one reads this shiz anyway.

When I graduated from college, I honestly thought that companies would be competing for me because I had a bachelors degree...I was way off. haha. I have yet to make a dime off of my degree. Oh, and I'm becoming a "lightweight" myself.
I'm sorry this is like a week late but I'm so glad you were able to go home for Christmas!
Are you still at home or are you back at "work home"?
did you get my Christmas card?
Miss you
Luv u <3
