happy Christmas from the living
“I’ll be in charge of Special Nonsense.”
—Michael, yesterday
“Ooh, the Garden Level…”
—me, today
“I do? What? I do? Oh! Oh! Why?”
—my mom, tonight
“Happy Christmas. Give yer G-pa a nice punch in the face for me.”
time 10:04 pm feeling yawning wearing MN sweatshirt!, pjs ready for bed next happy Christmas to all – and to all a good night!
Another Christmas Eve come and gone – this is my first one with Jeff by my side, my last as an unmarried lady, and the start of somethings new. It’s been quite an incredible year, and in every day that goes by I consider myself more lucky. Maybe I’m getting old enough to know better.
In the past few nights, I’ve dreamt about walking in to my own gym, hanging out with my own kid, handling my own destiny. Stuff I’m not ready for, but which make me wonder. Free will or no, it’s pretty clear to me that things just get better the calmer you can act and the more you can glean, and I think, at these things, I’m improving. I can only hope that for everyone around me and the world at large that things just keep getting better, too.
Ten years, guys. Where will we be after the next ten? To those I love (even you Internet folk! 😉 ), those I miss, those who have left us, and those I don’t know much of, happy Christmas, and may you have many good nights.
