A bit of musing: The holidays either really cheer me up, or really get me down. This year, I see the tendancy to fluctuate either way. On one hand, like my last post stated, I’m in a good place financially and can actually spoil the loved ones in my life. I don’t have to worry much on that aspect, and that’s a refresing change from the past year of my life. On the other hand, generally the holidays usually get me pretty down. That, coupled with some bad news from a family member tonight, has not helped to raise my mood. I don’t want to be down, so I am reminding myself of all that I have to be grateful. I am alive – first and foremost. I have all my wits and senses about me. My father’s bar is going to be a raving success, and we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel as we passed the ABC test and liquor license obtained. One more thing checked off. Le Cheffy is catering our Christmas dinner when the boyfriend comes for a visit. Happy me. My brother is doing well, living on his OWN for the first time. I couldn’t be prouder. We were all worried for him. Now maybe we can get him laid π hehe. My grandfather, in good help. My mother, still a whore but I love her just the same. π Who am I to judge, right? lol. I have a happy relationship with my best friend — that is better than it’s ever been, and that makes me happy. I am *finally* working with someone who really gets me. Someone who enjoys my creativity, who doesn’t stifle me, watch over my shoulder, belittle other people, who pays on time, who treats the girls like gold — and you know maybe people think she’s not going to make it, but I know better. She knows her shit π And we’re going to grow!!!! I can’t wait!!! And for you guys, the callers that have stuck with me from place to place, over the years. I do truly love and appreciate you all. You’re wonderful. And to my friends in the industry, my true friends π I love you too. Love you all! And for the people that hate me, you just make me want to be a better person. π
