We're in the library at the house. YKWIA has been watching 'Will & Grace' but has moved on to the original season of 'Blackadder'. Both have been quite amusing. I did some bills earlier and got gasoline, since Kroger will be closing early this evening. It's been a quiet Sunday. We're not gaming due to the holiday, either this week or New Year's Eve. I've started some laundry. It occurs to me that it would be good to go back to Kroger, as I'm low on laundry supplies. It's dreary and rainy outside, although we might have some snow for Christmas. Last night we worked four hours on fixing food to last days, and I baked bread, so we're set for a bit. We didn't actually eat any, which surprised me--he just put it all up. He doesn't eat much and sometimes forgets, hey, I eat three meals a day, unlike him, but then I had some cereal and was fine, and we talked, so he realised later that maybe it was a little weird to not have dinner last night, especially after all that cooking.
I find that I'm missing my mom this holiday season. Last year she was in and out of the hospital, but I was able to visit her some. Not so this year. I know the last couple of years were awkward, and our relationship was not what it once was, but I did love her, and I feel the loss. I think I'll contact my stepfather tonight; it's probably hard on him this year without her.
The only thing we have planned for tomorrow is eating at Jin Jin and running some paperwork by to someone. That's it. And I'll probably do more laundry. My holiday was Thursday, Yule (Solstice), but I worked and didn't really do anything for it. I suck at the holidays this year. Well, I did pretty well for Chanukah, anyway.
I'm off on Christmas Day and Boxing Day (well, work doesn't recognise it as such--it just so happened they made a mistake and gave us off the day after Christmas rather than Christmas Eve (which due to the weekend would have made it Friday this year). But considering we had a half-day of work Friday followed by a Christmas get together where we could stay or go as early as we'd like after 1 pm, we sort of had two and a half days off, so I'm not complaining.\
During this post, I've gone to the store and I'm back with laundry supplies, some flour and oats, and some boiled custard for him. I prefer eggnog, and I got some earlier, so we now have both in the house. We're set for Christmas, I think.
Anyway, if you're celebrating tonight, I wish you well, and may you have a very Merry Christmas. For those of you who've already had your holidays, or they fall afterwards, hope they were or will be wonderful. And for the rest of you, may the New Year be full of love, laughter and light--2017 has been a very difficult one for me personally, for those I love, and for pretty much most of the world, I think. Here's to 2018.
