I finished my last day of work before Xmas! And, other than next Friday, my last day of work in December!

My boss is a toolio toolhound. I have worked for him for a year and half now, and the closest thing I got to a present from him was a “So long - remember, I need you in next Friday” as I ran out the door.

The t-shirt that I wore today is my absolute favorite but I’m afraid it’s ready to be retired. It is beige, with a bear and the words “Bronx Zoo” printed across the chest. My best friend in college (Azalea) gave it to me at one of our many Clothes Swap Nights. I have no idea where she got it, but I’m thinking some vintage store because it’s really thin and soft and comfy. Which is great, but it’s so thin that I can never wear a regular bra with it; I wear a beige undershirt that doesn’t show through but still has some semblance of support. I have always thought that this looked fine, but suddenly today it occurred to me that wearing something so see-through might be a little unseemly.

Eating chocolate after dinner really did keep me up all last night. Whaddya know, mom was right!

The guys at my local indian takeout place are so sweet. They call me “miss” and I don’t even mind. I asked one of them tonight if he was doing anything special for the holidays, and he said that they’re only closed for Christmas Day. Wow - that made me realize I have things pretty good after all.

My latest haircut is HOTT! It is messy and floppy and I can run my hand through it and grab chunks of it and it will still fall back into place in a cool way.

I need to start packing. Have calculated that I need to leave my apartment at 11:15 tomorrow. Eh…I have HOURS in the morning; I’ll do it then. Dun dun dun! Famous last words. Man, I suck at packing.

Chocolate sounds good again. Surely I can counteract all the caffeine with alcohol and get a normal night’s sleep?

Thank god the CDs I ordered for my dad for xmas arrived today. When I walked in the door I actually let out a little “woop!” of happiness. Nothing like waiting til the last minute to do your online shopping.

I love the new Stevie Wonder mix CD my friend Jeremy made for me. Wish I had a CD walkman for the plane… (see, look at how un-techie I am! I am not even wishing for an iPod; I am wishing for a CD walkman. Maybe next year I will finally try out Tivo!)

It actually made me kind of sad not to have any physical therapy appointments this week. I like my trainer guy a lot. Plus he does a lot of shoulder massages and it is really nice to just have some kind of human contact. I really am like a hermit. How pathetic is it that I am so grateful for being touched by a physical therapist??!

(Thoughts like that are the reason why I probably will not be posting anything while at my dad’s this coming week. I am not savvy enough to fix it so that my stepmother can’t see the sites I have been on on her computer, and there is no way I want any of them reading any of my sad-ass “I am a nun” entries. As far as they are concerned, I am a virgin, as are all my friends and acquaintances and everybody who I have ever passed on the street. In fact, no member of my family has ever had sex! My parents certainly did not! One day long ago, my parents gazed adoringly at each other, and nine months later the stork arrived and they gave me a name. The end.)

That was just a long and winding way of me saying bye for now, and happy holidays. Happy Holidays, all! I will be back next Thursday. Have a lovely week.
