wimmhtw* 12.22

1. Well, sadly I was wrong last week when I said that would be the last really busy week at work. Last week was rough, and that’s going to wrap around to tomorrow and maybe Thursday. But for the first time in the ten years I’ve worked there, they are shutting down for Christmas Eve and giving us all the day off. If you need me, I will be on the sofa reading.

2. Because of all my stress the last few weeks, my beloved bought me a couple of coloring books as part of my Christmas present. I am looking forward to some therapeutic coloring in the coming weeks.

3. This week is Christmas, and while I have lost many family members in the last years and this year’s celebrations looks different than past ones, I am so grateful for the aunts, uncles, and cousins I have had in my life. While I have not always book good at communicating how much they have and continue to mean to me, I still hold them in my heart and look back fondly on memories of holidays past. Love you! Miss you! Thank you for teaching me all the things about life and love and cooking.
