I’ve packed and prepared for my morning plane. This is the first of what will probably be my annual holiday visit to Mom’s. Been a while since I flew. I think I preferred the aisle seats to windows, but the allure of a window seat called to me and I chose one. I’ll just be chilling with my iPod for the whole ride, it’s a pretty short one, if I recall correctly. It’s an entirely different experience than driving out there. I miss seeing Mom; I miss some of my friends… but this definitely feels more like a visit, than a trip “home.” Here really feels like home, now. Sure, I don’t really have a desk of my own and the work situation is still a little more part-time than it should be… but otherwise, things are pretty darn awesome, here. There’s been some tension, but I think it’s related to gifts and the secrecy surrounding them. I’ll be relieved when all the gifts are open and everyone knows what they got and hopefully all the weirdness will blow over. I certainly spent way too much this year, and I know it. All year I spend stupid amounts of money on myself, I need to be able to make up for it during the holidays. I sent stuff to a few people, through Amazon, and got a whole lot for Sarah and her family. I might’ve gone overboard, but I hardly pay anything for my room and board here, so I don’t feel like it’s too much. Besides, I’m a damn good bargain shopper… it’s not like I paid full price for anything.
Anyway, planning on relaxing at Mom’s for a good percentage of my time at home, so I should be able to update a few times. Hope you all enjoy your holidays if I don’t see you!
