Good Things Come To Those Who Wait.

Christmas Day... I don't really feel it this year. I mean... my daughters seem happy enough, but both of them know about Santa now.. and where I've tried to explain that Santa is the spirit of Christmas.. and dwells in every heart during the holiday season, I'm not quite sure they get it.  I realize that this may be the last Christmas morning I am woken early to open presents under the tree. I won't be here next Christmas... but that's okay. I know even my youngest has accepted the fact that I'm moving out... in fact she's asked me a few times about it.. and if she can have my room when I'm gone. LOL.... kinda seems a bit funny once you think about it.  They left "Santa" cookies on the table beside the tree.. and I took a big bite before realizing it wasn't actually a cookie.. but an ornament they made from homemade playdoh.. the mixture is 2 cups of flour and 1 cup of salt... I had already swallowed a small chunk before the salt assaulted my taste buds... I hastily coughed out the remaining "cookie" in my mouth and chucked it in the garbage can. Still I made a bee line to the fridge to look for something to rinse my mouth out with... with some flavor. Still all is well.. and I survived.

I don't have to work until next Tues. Even then, I only work 4 hours in the morning before getting Wednesday off... I am hoping things start to settle financially for me.. as a few things have surfaced that require a bit more money than I had budgeted.. so I'm robbing Peter to pay Paul... at least in the sense of trying to get things paid for. So I prioritize for now... hoping that soon my job will pay me the back money they owe me... and I can get a little ahead. I love doing what I do... but I seriously hate working for the management where I am now... I won't work there much longer... It's a necessity that I get transferred.. but everyone knows that now.  I am never going to be happy with my supervisor.. even though technically, she shouldn't be my supervisor. I had the 12th best performing trade in the nation... of over 1600 trades... and I was given no area where I exceeded expectations..... well... if that isn't exceeding, I really don't think it's possible to exceed them. I think maybe I let it bother me too much.  I know that the most important thing is that everyone is healthy.. and all is going in a positive direction. ...plus, I've never been more positive in my thinking about the future. I'm okay with all I've gone through... even if I wasn't at the time.  It brought me to the point I am now.. and I would not take anything for this point in my life. I can only say to everyone that patience is really what it's all about.  Good things come to those who wait.

Not In My Lifetime.

It's 1:15 am.. I just got back from my niece's wedding.. and it was.. different .. not what I was used to.. but nice all the same..  I only have this to say about the reception... WTF!!! l guess I should give a bit of background information... my spouse wandered off doing her own thing.. as I prefer it that way... so when I happen to come into close proximity of her by accident.. she motions me over.. and has been talking to the head of the catering company... they have been talking for awhile.. and in a short period of time.. they have been getting to know each other a bit..   as I approach.. this woman.. who's name is the same as my spouse.. is saying.. "I just seem to know him.. he looks like John.. somebody"  My spouse then starts with a sales pitch of how great of a guy I am.. and what I do teaching computers.. and this woman starts striking up a conversation with me in front of my spouse.. she even talks about how handsome I am...   she mentions that she i...

Something I Have Learned Well.

It's odd how we interact with others on so many levels... one would assume by my wide range of references that I have a large assortment of friends.. In all actuality, the people in my circle of friends could be counted on my hands.. and close friends... well..  easily on one hand. I'm not what I would consider a social butterfly... but to be honest.. I sometimes like crowds.. I enjoy having groups of people around me.. I don't stick out like a sore thumb.. and sometimes getting lost in the rest of the world... isn't such a bad thing. How often do you go and "people watch" ....and then think about those people once you're gone... not very often, I'm guessing.. not unless one did something completely out of the ordinary.  I just like having the feeling that I'm normal.. an ordinary person... I just sat here in this chair for most of the weekend.. not really accomplishing anything.. nothing constructive by any means... I feel as though maybe I'm...

Stay Out Of Things Where I Don't Belong.

I am starting to get used to the hours... I think... who knows.. one day I feel like I was drug out of my bed kicking and screaming... other days I feel like I've been poured full of coffee and energy drinks... I've cut down on my morning coffee by the way... Oh... I didn't blog about that... after first moving here, I started drinking flavored coffee in the mornings... but I've decided I don't want to get dependent on that.... I still have the occasional coffee... but as I've said before... too much of anything is a bad idea... so I cut back.  I also decided to give up something for Lent... I might have blogged about it... but I tried to think of something that would be a sacrifice.. so I gave up masturbation.  I know that's not really in the spirit of Lent... as far as giving up something like that... but hey... I can't think of many other things I enjoy more... especially with my sex life as it is... I sorta don't have the inspiration at this poi...
