another year over There are less than three hours left in the year and what I really want to do right now is sleep. I do not want to drink. I do not want to party. I do not want to be surrounded by people. All that I want to do is sleep for a minimum of six hours, but that is not something that I will be able to do until twelve hours from now. By then my shift will have ended and I will have completed the drive home. I will be able to remove my shoes, slip off my pants and slide into bed. Oh, I might take a moment to brush my teeth before I pass out under the blankets, but I doubt that I will do much else once I get inside my house. ... I find it a little sad to have already have seen more than one Christmas tree left outside to be hauled away by the garbage men. Does the holiday really need to be over that soon? Do people have to clear that space in their living room that quickly? To be fair, I will probably take my tree down later this week, but I see no harm in letting it stay up until after the New Year. In fact, I know that part of Tuesday night will be spent just relaxing in front of the tree on my couch as I enjoy some much needed down time. The other goal of mine for my upcoming weekend besides simple relaxation would be to enjoy some of my Christmas presents. They have been quietly sitting under the tree waiting to be explored. Books are there to be read. Movies are there to be watched. Music is there to be heard. Sadly I have not have any free time to do any of those things. |
