Reflections

This morning, as I gaze out upon the foggy LA skyline, I am thoughtful. I am working, ungratefule though I may be about it. Yet, (wink wink, is that right?) I have to say the fog and rain this morning cheered me in a way that only I seem to understand. However, overall, I am wistful for my lovely bed, and my books and a tall cup of hot chocolate. While I know I could never sit in bed all day reading, I still want to. When I work, I dislike it. When I don't work, I am just bored. What's to be done with me??

Adding to my gloominess was a sad realization. This will be my last and final Christmas off. I'm not sure I am ready for that. From here on in, I'll be working on or around Christmas, especially as the new nurse. Will I be able to get home to celebrate with my nieces and nephews?? What will they think of us being gone? What about my own kids? I want to start traditions with them, but its a little more difficult when it happens on different days all the time. I'm kinda scared. It makes me dislike my job. But it has to be done, I guess. I know I shouldn't worry about it, but its difficult not to.

on happier notes, Michelle and I have a delightful evening, soaking in the ritzy Hyatt hotel spas. While we couldn't see the ocean, I guess I still had fun (tee hee, Michelle). It was refreshing to laugh again with my old friends. Isn't it great that we can think of each other as old friend now?? Anyways, i know both Michelle and I had our appetites whetted for this coming Thanksgiving. And boy howdy, will we be giving thanks!

Hope I didn't make you guys sad. Like I said, it was a day for reflections.
