So, I’m sitting here at my desk in my little cubicle, doing anything but work. Just can’t seem to make myself do anything productive today. I’d love to go home and get on the sofa with my snuggly little Stella and take a long, cozy nap. But I have to try to at least look busy while my mind wanders all over the place.
For some reason, I keep thinking about a lost love. He broke my heart into a million pieces…just walked away without a word. And even though it was years ago, sometimes it still hurts. I hope he wasn’t the love of my life, but I strongly suspect that he was. I haven’t even come close to that feeling with anyone since him. I can’t help wondering now and then…if only…I suppose everyone does that once in awhile. Makes for a melancholy day, though.
On a cheerier note, I have a trip planned for January. I’m going to Big Sky in Montana with my friends from Minnesota!! They’ve been going for several years now, and the other night I got a call inviting me to go along. I don’t ski, but there will be lots of other things for me to do. Like hang out in my PJs all day and read, sip wine, cook. I can have dinner ready for the skiers when they come in from the slopes. One day we are going to take a snow mobile tour of Yellowstone, something that’s been on my bucket list for a long time!! But just spending time with friends will be the best part of all. They love me in spite of my many quirks, and accept me without question. Can’t really ask for more than that!
I’ve also got my annual sister trip coming up. We try to go the first weekend in November to celebrate my late mother’s birthday. It would make my mom so happy. We shop, eat, drink, laugh, and just generally enjoy each other’s company, which we don’t get to do nearly enough. I’m glad we have managed to keep our trip alive all these years, it’s good for my soul.
Hard for me to believe that Christmas is just around the corner. So much to do. I have bought a few presents, though. Always nice to have a bit of a start. I can’t wait to get my tree…makes the house smell so wonderful. I love to turn off all the lights in the house except the ones on the tree and watch my favorite Christmas specials–A Charlie Brown Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the original cartoon, NOT the Jim Carrey movie). On Christmas Eve, I’ll watch A Christmas Story over and over…I’ll go to sleep with it on and wake up to it on Christmas morning. A little tradition of mine…
Well, I’ve managed to kill a few minutes anyway. Time to actually do something work related for the last thirty minutes of the day…
