Merry Christmas!

(previous post on old blog 12/25/07 early morning)


So here it is, first new blog in some time. Partly because I now live life, real life, not online. So much has gone on....started a new job, as my last post says. Here's where it gets good. I moved. Finally. Out of the shithole I was living in to a place where I not only have space, but privacy, and solitude, and let's not forget the quiet. Oh the quiet. Spend 3 months living underneath ppl that fight constantly, fuck constantly, and seem to puke constantly. I had nothing but nightmares while I was there. Sleep was not good. In fact, I felt more tired after sleep than before it. Now, oh now, I sleep well. Part of it may be that I am now sleeping on the bed that I used to sleep on before I left for Canada. And I have acquired a few of my old possesions again, thanks mom...


I finally got moved in over the weekend. Just in time. I had told Bret all I wanted for Christmas was a place of our own. Well, we are here, albeit with floors of plywood. We ripped up all the flooring, and are relaying it. Oak Laminate.....it will be nice. We are going to paint it in a kind of a southwest theme. Make it all warm and cozy.
On other notes, work is going well, I am ranked 2 in upselling, and I'm the noob. So the others probably hate me, but I'm making some dough finally. Trying to pay off what I have borrowed since being back in the country. I came back in debt, so one can imagine....


Things on the homefront have been good. Bret and I had a little rough spot at the beginning of the month, but all has been pudding since then, mainly cause I hadn't been online. And I think it is has done me well. I need to live life instead of a virtual life.


I had no money to buy anything this xmas. So I gave away things, and donated. Even though I have nothing and am barely above the poverty line myself. I also made things, like coupon books. People can redeem them for my services, and there is nothing expected in return. I gave one tonight, and the person said it was the most creative and heartfealt gift they had ever gotten. Made me feel good.


So here it is, Christmas morning, and I hope all are doing well, and all have a good night. Some of you I will be seeing tomorrow, others I will see some other time.

Peace be to all.
