No work until January 4th after tomorrow and this week is crawling by. I'm being that guy at work. I want OUT.
I have one more basketball morning practice and last day of work until the 28th, but back spasms aren't letting me get any extended amounts of sleep, and my gf is getting sick....wondering if I'm fighting that too.
Sit back and relax, and try to do some breathing exercises. That's always help me. Most importantly show some gratitude for what it is that you have at this point in time .
I'll be much better at about 4:30 tomorrow, when I'm officially on vacation until 1/4. Occasionally, I let those grinch feelings slip in but then I catch myself and remember all that I have to be thankful for.
Thanks Roc. It's just one of those days. I think I'm just tired and fighting a bug. I'd love to just go home and sleep, but I know I have two hours of gym after work today.
I'm not big on receiving gifts. I tell the people I want for nothing. And, then I get more stuff anyway. My biggest want in this world is to not receive a single gift for x-mas and just kick back with the family with no worries for a few hours to reflect with a meal (about the most I can handle before I hit my "limit") and then bail. lol Don't get me anything always translates into several gifts I didn't want or need. I've found you just can't get away with a "no gifts" policy for yourself. At some point, you reach the age and position where you want for nothing material-wise and just hold on to what you have. Unfortunately, that POV doesn't mesh with x-mas. It's like...donate anything you would want to give to me to the...HUMAN FUND...started by one George Constanza. That's still one of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV.
I would feel much better about everything in life if they would have just given us Xmas eve off of work. One day is not enough.
Feeling grinchy but not tired or cranky or sans energy. I just don't like the Christmas season. The music, the gift giving, the tree crap, decorations, etc. Fack it all.
Had an in-law pass away just now, quite literally and really. He was a model of fortitude and gentle ways on his path from this world, and I will never forget it. He made things easier on everyone around him when he had every reason to be consumed by fear, pain, and anger. I'm pouring out his favorite drink for him in the back yard tonight, and I'm so glad I got to spend time with him these last weeks. Hopefully I can now quit being a little wussy ass grinch now and enjoy whatever beautiful few days we get on this crazy globe. Peace to you all. Hug someone tight.

Feeling much better today! I'm still tired, but got that little Grinch out of me. Merry Christmas Clutchfans!
