It's been a lil bit since I've been on. Being gone 60+ hours a week generally means I have zero desire to do much more than watch a lil TV with Meanie, or read, or just sleep.
Due to the promotion, I was given 4 whole days paid vacation. And told to use it before the end of the year. >.> Which means I had to take it this week, since no one goes on vacation holiday weeks (Christmas and New Years). Breaks my heart, I tell ya.
I'm on day 2 of 7 days off. Yesterday was spent picking up some things for the house, and birthday/Christmas gifts for my soon to be step-daughter (!!!) and soon to be daughter-in-law. (!!!)
Now I'm curled up on the couch under a blanket, wearing my new flannel robe Meanie got me for Christmas. I got to open it up early since it was so very cold, and I have to smoke outside. It's huge, and comfortable, and fuzzy. I'm pretty sure it's a men's robe, because I'd steal it from him if it was his. Meanie's just brought me a cup of coffee spiked with Kaluah. He gave me an odd look when I asked for it, but I had to explain a shot won't make me incapacitated for the day, and hey....I'm on vacation!
Listening to Christmas carols and relaxing. Tonight, we get dressed up to attend my mom's Christmas concert, I think she has a solo this year. Then dinner with them, my lil sister, and some aunts, uncles, and cousins. I love this time of year. I love being HOME this time of year. I've found the holidays depressing all the years I've lived so far away from family. Hopefully, I'm helping keep Meanie from missing his family too very much.
Anyway, I'm back...at least for a week.
