Yes, Tis the Season

I have been busy trying to get things together for my trip to spend Matt's birthday and Christmas in Hemet. I am mostly ready. I just need to wrap a thing or two and put together a box to mail to Ally this week. I am hoping to have that done in the next few days.

I have been baking cookies which is fun. And tasty. I also am trying to still find things. I will never get the dvds out of the boxes or some of the other stuff because there just isn't room in my room and not in the other parts of the house yet, either. I have a week at home after returning from Ally's but I plan to knit/crochet, rest, spend time with friends. David and I will have 3 days at home before Dad gets back from his Christmas down south so we will work on setting up the kitchen the way we want it.

I have to say it feels like I really did move home with my brother and dad. It's working out pretty well. I am hoping to see some savings in another month or so. I've had some extra expenses and every time I turn around I find something else that will make things easier for organizing in my room. Or there is always yarn to buy. :)

I am looking forward to taking a little trip in the spring. I don't know yet whether it will be more than a weekend away or not. I need to make sure I save up 2 weeks of vacation for October and time so I can do the whole no-working between Christmas and New Year's thing again next year. Don't know if that means I will have much spare time to make a trip any further than to Hemet for a longer weekend. That is if things go well this time. Matt has no idea who I am and it'd be nice if he and I could develop some kind of relationship. I love the little guy so much! But I also know it's hard times down there and having an extra person around might make it harder. Don't want to do that. I would love if they could come here!

Well it is now time to get moving so I will end this post. Nothing much to say, really. I am sitting in a nice warm room while it is cold and rainy outside. I am enjoying always being warm and feeling like I belong. Even so, I miss time with Jo. It's always hard for me when friends move on and I no longer fit in. As long as they know I'm still there for them. And maybe someday Klava and I will reconnect.

OK, enough of those thoughts. I am going to knit tonight and watch tv. Be happy everyone!
