Christmas
So, I finally beat the Holiday blues. Christmas wan't so bad after all. And I got some amazing and thoughtful presents. my mom gave me one month's rent and that purple laptop I've been wanting froever, that i need massager, and some other smaller stuff. My brother got me a mini video recorder, some dvds, an 8 gb flash drive, and some other stuff. Christmas day with my family, and with the cats all running aorund high on catnip playing with their presents, was just so much fun. I really enjoyed myself and I havent come down from that happiness yet.
I was a little annoyed because my aunt Tajuana stole christmas form my grandmother and had everyone over to her house, knowing that my grandmother always does a big christmas for the family. It's kind of a big deal too, because as she's gotten older, she's become more anti social, she hardly ever leaves the house, and doesnt like having people over. She no longer does anything for thanksgiving, and if we have a cookout there for the fourth of july she stays in her room. So christmas is the only time she is actually social, and my aunt stole it from her. And what makes it worse is that she did it at the last minute. My mom and I didnt go to my aunt's dinner, but we went over and visitied my grandmother and bought her some food and her presents from our family, and she was really happy to have us there. My mom is the only person she bought a christmas gift for. it was this tapestry that you hang on the wall with a little poem about cats on it. This is significant becasue just last Christmas, actuall up until this past April, my mom wasnt talking to my grnadmother or anyone from her family becasue they played a part in what happened with the cats. I would still talk to my grandmother, and go to visit her after work form time to time (she lives one block away from my mom's) and I finally convinced my mom of how lonely she was, and how ti was stupid to be mad at her for so long, and how much my grandmother missed her. So now they're back to normal. And its especially significant that this year my mom was the only one who didnt ditch her for tajuana (with the exceotion of lori who came home to visit for xmas and is staying with my grandmother so she also didnt go).
But anyway I'm glad I'm not depressed anymore. I was really starting to worry about myself. Sure things still suck. I'm over worked and underpaid at a job I hate, I'm not finaincially secure, I'm no closer to getting a job working with animals or moving back to florida, and my love life is nonexisitant. But as for now, I can look past that and focus on the positive.
