Or something at least. It won’t settle down enough for me to fall asleep. I’ve tried every trick that I know, but nothing helps. So I figured I might as well change what I’m doing because that would definitely make me fall asleep. Not working so far. The Christmas tree tried to take a nosedive [...]

Christmas spirit?
Posted in holidays, life or something like it on December 11, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I can’t say that I’ve found myself in the Christmas spirit this year. The weather sucks. I haven’t been feeling well. Things just aren’t going smoothly. I haven’t done cards, I haven’t baked any cookies. I just can’t seem to get things done. I was out on Friday night and got a text from Zach [...]

This is not my favorite holiday. I don’t like all of the noise. I used to like it when I was a kid. We lived on an Air Force base and every year they did fireworks on the unused portion of the flight line. It was nice because we could walk to it and then [...]
post-christmas calm

Christmas went pretty well. It was just Zach and me, since my dad doesn’t participate. He seemed altogether satisfied with his gifts. At his age, its hit or miss. I think I hit it this year. I got the Good Eats 2 book that I bought for myself. We did visit my mom. she’s been [...]
airing of grievances

Its Festivus, I’ve had dinner, so here I will air my grievances. I think everyone should do this. Its cathartic. Florida Hospital. I am sick of you and never want to visit you again. Aging. I hate you too, especially for making my son older. Stop it now! November and December. You two have sucked. [...]

My mom is back in the cardiac intensive care unit, has been since yesterday. She was out of it for not quite a whole day? They took her to dialysis Saturday morning, and her heart rate went crazy again, so back to intensive from progressive. She seems a little more with it, not quite so [...]

Thanksgiving has been cooked, and eaten, and the leftovers put away. Everything was pretty chillax up until the end when suddenly I had to finish everything with no help from the peanut gallery. The turkey turned out really delicious and succulent. I cook it according to the gospel of Alton Brown, brining and roasting first [...]
settling down

I’m happy to report that I finally feel like Thanksgiving is under control. The cornbread for the stuffing is done, the pumpkin pie has been baked, the turkey is brining, I’ve pretty much done everything I can to make tomorrow as easy as its gonna get. Hopefully this means I will sleep tonight. There is [...]
haunted by turkey and stuffing

This is the fourth year in a row that I have done the Thanksgiving preparations and cooking on my own (except for the mashed potatoes, Zach usually helps with those but I’m not counting on it this year). I’ve made the cranberry sauce already, and I got out of bed at 1am because I was [...]
I try to sleep and nothing happens

Yes, another night of me going on about stress and things that are bothering me. I’ve been trying to get to sleep for over an hour and a half. I’m close to ready to give up. My mind is going at warp speed and making me worry. The turkey day issues and everything that goes [...]
