Merry Christmas

ok
I’m bracing myself
I leave this morning to drive up to my brother’s house
he (aka “the golden boy”) has to work boxing day
so that means that the VOD needs to be there
cos ever the martyr
she will need to be there
“just in case he needs something”


he’s affected
he calls his kids “the children”
and while he has a good heart
he’s like the rest of the family
suffering from the “road to hell is paved with good intentions”

the VOD is also in a flap
cos the blister (my virtually non-existant sister)
is alone this season
but she’s alone cos she wants to be
after all – there’s almost 100 members of our family
in that city she lives it
altho there is every possiblity that they’ve quit inviting her
cos she’s following in her mother’s footsteps
ever the martyr

and I will be
reading library books
and playing monopoly with the kids (16 & 14)
and hoping that I don’t have to spend too much time
with the drunks
er
I mean family

jaded?
who me?

still
beyond all that

I pray for Peace
and Health
and Comfort and Joy
in the lives of my loved ones

May this season bring you everything you want
Bright Blessings all!

Life goes on….

yesterday turned out to be an aboslutely
abysmal day for me

it was “bring your dog to work day”
I suffered a complete emotional meltdown
in front of a whole bunch of complete strangers

nothin like a little weeping to humble you in front of strangers


but as life will do
I got home a wallowed for a while
I even spent some time surfing looking for dogs in my area to adopt
but I stopped myself because even when I’m upset I understand that it’s too soon

and then I watched a movie called Hustle and Flow
(I’m about 2 years behind everyone else in the movie watching arena)

the thing about this movie is that it’s about hope
and dreams
and I got both messages

I’m left with a feeling of renewal
and a need to apologize to the VOD
for being such an absolute PITA last night

this morning one of my pagan friends sent me a link to BlueBeat
it’s a streaming audio site
I’m liking it (you know me and my music schtick!)
too bad there wasn’t a way to link music here without having to learn to code!

anyway
life goes on….
