Because we have off work, weeeeeeh! 😛

Christmas season has officially begun. We are going shopping, putting decorations up, baking cookies… it is most lovely. Of course, more then ever, I miss my Mom, because I know she would have so much enjoyed all of this and I am not sure if I am not doing this all for her even though she isnt here to enjoy it. Grieve is a horrible thing and the unconscious not any less horrible.

Today I watched an Anderson Cooper Podcast where they had Larry King on to talk about the sad passing of Elizabeth Edwards. He said he lost his Dad at the age of 9 1/2 and even now at age 77, it is still with him. Not a good prognosis. 🙁 This is why I hate November and December. The months where it is painfully obvious that people are missing. Interestingly enough, I am pretty much always ok with my Dad not being here. Mostly because I know he lived his life and grew to an old age to enjoy it. But my Mom should be here. She would love this all so much.

As last year, I boycotted this years Work Christmas Party. 👿 No interest to “celebrate” with any of them.

My REHA is now all set and booked, I am going from April 3rd to May 1st. I plan to take a week off work right after coming back. I went to work the next day the last time I was on Rehabilitation and that wrecked it all.
As I am now going a delivery area for longer, I am getting Christmas money! Yay! I need to update my Ipad tracker on top. I am a lot closer to the goal. 🙂 Once the new Ipad comes out, I can buy it. Hopefully before April. 29 days is a long time and books too heavy for an airplane. The last time I read 11 books. 😉

My brother is still without work and I highly doubt his intentions on finding something new. He is still mostly grumpy as hell. He is missing some really important character traits. When you try to have a conversation with him he either sais he doesnt want to talk about it, he is not going to answer (without a reason), he doesnt react at all or he lies. He has no control over his temper. My Dad always said he has a difficult character. Slight understatement.

Oh well. I want to bake turtle cookies today and its already late, better get going. On the left is a photo of the new birdhouse on our patio! The birds havent found it yet though. 😆
