Hello folks,
I realize it's a bit belated, but Happy Thanksgiving! And I also realize it's been several weeks since I last wrote anything in here. Every time I come to make a post, I promise to stay in touch and to write much more frequently - when, in fact, I never do. So I won't make any such promises this time. I will try to make a concerted effort, though, I really will. Hah!
Anyhow, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday this year. My mother and step-father flew up for the holiday Tuesday morning (the 20th) and were here through Saturday. While I had to work an evening shift Tuesday, I managed to get the rest of the week off. My evening shift this evening will be my first since last Tuesday - an entire 5 day stretch. While we didn't end up doing a whole lot, I think my mom and step-dad had a nice time. I certainly enjoyed having them here. Even though I don't have much room in my apartment, I always welcome company. Yes, it gets lonely here sometimes...
My mom made the typical Thanksgiving dinner. We had a 13 lb. turkey to bake, mashed 'taters, corn, turkey & noodles, stuffing and topped all of that off with two apple pies and dirt cake for dessert. Least to say, we ate really well!
They took me shopping for my Christmas while they were here, so in effect, I know all I'm getting from them this year. They brought with them a few items that were wrapped, so I'll have, at least a few surprises! Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it home for Christmas this year. I did get out the Christmas deco while they were here, to get more into the festive mood. I put up the tree (my lonely excuse for one - a 4 ft. fiber-optic tree!), put up the tinsel, and hung some decorations around the apartment. My mom bought a wreath hook for my door, so I also have a little something extra there this year...
As with any other time, though, it was hard to see them go Saturday. I get used to having someone around and when they're not here, especially over the first few days after, it reminds me of how lonely it really is here. I have to remind myself, though, that I do have friends up here... and I do have a job that I love.
Maybe sometime soon I'll have someone that can occupy my time. I made a new friend recently but it doesn't seem that the chemistry is there. It's nice to hang out and talk with EB, but I just don't see it moving anywhere beyond being good friends. I haven't really told her that yet, but I think I'll have to before long. It's been over a week since I last talked to her, so I really need to call her and see what's new. Over the next week or two, we'll have to go out more... So, if you're curious, yes, I'm still looking for Mrs. Right. Hah!
Again, Happy Thanksgiving to you all... and I hope you have a great Holiday Season!
