Lounge of Tomorrow

Even though i work retail Petsmart we at least are sane about holiday hours. Day after Thanksgiving are opening at 9am our regular store hour opening. Yay :) Then Dec 10 thru Dec 23 open at 8am and close at 10pm an hour earlier to open and an hour later to close but hey that's not bad considering all these retail places stores etc open earlier and close later so i guess i'm lucky. Plus Walmart, Kmart, Big Lots, and some other places are OPEN tomorrow on Thanksgiving it's sad shame. I can understand grocery stores (incase need something for the feast) but retail wise...

I share the love/hate relationship with the holidays. On the one hand, things are pretty, and the flavor of the day is cinnamon or pumpkin or eggnog. All fantastic things.

But then we get the stress. Buying stuff for people, and expected to spend a ton of money it seems. Feeling like a useless lump when I try to select decent gifts that aren't so terrifyingly expensive. Constant stress that my gift sucks, even after my care in picking it out. Then you get the "me" crowd who is so stressed out over their own buying that they forget other people inhabit the planet. Since I'm stressed, I'm inclined to hurt them and that's not good. It stinks when it seems like everybody else in the entire city is spending time with their families and I am far away and alone. That isn't fun. We're going to Vegas for Christmas and nowhere for T-day. I'm happy and sad about both of those facts.

Is it January yet?

Boy is snug in his own bed tonight. He came home in desperate need of a bath and very sweetly asked me to fix him something to eat. He is clean fed and in bed.

I have another 20 minutes before I can hit the sack...while waiting for him I started a load of laundry.

I know you're tired, MG, but doesn't that make you feel good? When kids are tired, they want warm fuzzies. Your Boy wanted to come home for a reason, and I think I know why. :)

I woke up (after the first time in a week of getting 8 hours of sleep).

Filled out a card and arranged it alongside a rose and a box of candy next to Matthew. It's our fourth anniversary together.

Put water on for coffee

Read the LoT.

It's sizing up to be a good day. :)

Now, if only we could transport ourselves instantly and molecularly to San Diego so I didn't have to sit in traffic for two hours each way, it would be perfect.
