MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Yay!! All the presents are opened, B is at work. Sad panda

Yesterday DRAGGED by. I worked for a little while, took a three hour nap, annoyed everyone on Facebook, made apple butter, made madeleines, cleaned the house, rearranged all the presents, and it was still only like 3pm. Ugh. Finally B got home around 4. We took a nice shower together and then I went and got the chinese food. ALL the chinese food. The kid and KBF came over around 6 and we opened presents, watched always sunny, grinch, and Charlie Brown. They got us some nice presents too. I got an evil minion and the Tick Season 2, and B got a really nice Disney shirt. Some friends stopped by and dropped off cookies and an Oswald lanyard for me. We went to bed around 10 and that was a serious fail. Neither one of us could sleep. B read for a while and I came back on the computer. FINALLY it was midnight and we decided fuck it, let's open all the presents. We finished around 1:30 (more on what we got tomorrow since that technically is another day). B went to bed because she needed to be up for work this morning at 7. I cleaned up most of the stuff and started ripping some DVDs. I hit a wall at 2:30 and got into bed. I didn't fall asleep until 3 though. Too wound up.

Today is cleaning, playing with new presents, dinner, and then friend's house for cocktails and dessert.

I am in SUCH a different place than I was last year. I have to step back, be humble, and thank the heavens for where I am. This time last year I was two steps away from who knows what. Now? Now I am enjoying the holidays, enjoying ME, and enjoying life. I have a wonderful gf, incredible friends, some family I love (sorry, not all of them), a job, a roof over my head, and am a very fortunate man. I truly am blessed.
