Christmas and New Year’s Eve

January 3, 2003

I see it has been a while since I’d have writtened in here. And I guess now the while is over for a while.

Since the holiday season has just gone by, I suppose I could mention Christmas- and New Year’s-related topics. The clever would write "holidaze" and that is alright with me. I will write a list in a businesslike manner:

Christmas:

• 7 days in Topeka, KS
• Completely flipped my sleeping schedule to be awake during the day
• "Lucky," the family cat, put to sleep
• Some grieving
• Many card games
• Met my mom’s boyfriend
• Got some good Boogie Down Productions CDs
• Turned 25 years old
• Got the digital camera I’d been saving for
• Sat around
• Nightly walks with the dog

New Year’s:

• Midnight, New Year’s Eve passed without incident
• Because I was stocking ice cream toppings at the grocery store
• Wrote ‘2003’ for first time on my rent check
• Long lost friends visit unexpectedly on New Year’s
• We go to a nearly empty bar
• Drink a beer
• Go to work

And that was my holiday season, boring or not. The 7 days off work did much good, though.
