Lustful Refrain

The holiday season is now over. Tree and decorations have all been put away for the year and once again, I have my house back to normal. Well, as normal as my house can be anyway. Christmas went well. The kids all enjoyed their gifts and whatnot. Everyone had a great time. At least, that's what they tell me.

Now that the holidays are over, it's time to get back to the grindstone of work. I enjoyed the 4 days I had off over the holidays and now I'm working a nine day stretch that if it doesn't kill me..I'll be alive. Tired, but alive.

Things are interesting at work though. I'm not sure what the owner has up her sleeve but time will tell. I seem to be getting along with her, or more to the point, she seems to be getting along with me so we'll see how things go from there. I have my feelings and theories on it, but for now I'll keep them to myself and see what comes of the entire situation.

I'm getting more and more hours, which is great because work=money=good? What it means though is that I am tired more and hoping that everyone at home will keep up their end of the bargain and keep the house clean and what not so that when I get home I don't have to clean my house as well as do my job at the clinic. So far so good I suppose. May not be up to my standards but I can't expect everyone to be up there with me. Sometimes my standards are far too high and I know that all to well.

Other than that, things are well. Off to bed for me soon.

I know I know. I'm a retard but woohoo!!

It's a week away.

Presents are multiplying under my tree and over the next week the anticipation will grow. I love watching my kids get excited over the coming day. They ogle the brightly wrapped gifts under the tree, bounce around with joy and generally smile just a little more.

I'm looking forward to it for a couple of reasons. One, the joy of it all and the second? 4 days off!!!!! This week's shifts will be easy peasy! I work an afternoon shift on Monday, Tuesday is surgery (not for me..I assist the doctor), then on Wednesday..a day shift. Thursday is my busy day. I work Dr. M surgery in the morning and then Dr. B's OBGYN clinic for the afternoon until about 7:30. Then I'm off for 4 freaking days!! Nothing to do at that point but to relax and enjoy. I can't wait.

One final thought..

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

..and it continues.

Another entry in the same day. Wow, who'd have thought huh? Oh well. I thought maybe I'd give a catch up post on what's been going on in my life since I haven't actually talked to people in awhile (again, so very sorry). This way I won't have to repeat anything and it'll help me sort it all out in my head.

( And on it goes... )

We're gonna give this another shot. Let's see if I can maintain this one. I always start out with the best of intentions than completely fuck it up by either forgetting or flat out neglecting my journals.

As it is, I've just spent the last hour or so perusing journal icons (not finding many I liked..and I looked at hundreds) and when I got here to type up this..I just remembered something. I forget how to do cut-tags!!! The simplest of journal fare and I can't remember how to do it. That really sucks doesn't it?

So..my friends, at least the ones who are still around..bare with me please? Yes..I realize that was a question. I don't really have the right to ask because I have been so lax in maintaining the friendships that we all spent hours cultivating. I'm just hoping that the many hours we spent together (theoretically speaking of course) will count for something. I'm just certain that a little poking and prodding (maybe a fire or two under my ass) will help to keep this thing going and hopefully..keep me sane. Well..as sane as I can be anyway.

So..with the new year just around the corner, I raise me..uh..keyboard in salute and say "Here's to new beginnings and fresh starts!!!!"
