At the end of the day

Nicole Lee December 29th, 2007

A lot has been happening lately. Most of which I just don’t want go over. I’ve been really stressed out for a lot of reasons, and my body is telling me it’s time to slow down and remember that life isn’t as bad as I’m trying to make it out to be. But I was recently reminded of a time in my life that had pulled me into the lowest circle of hell, and upon finding my way out of the situation I was sucked right back in.

But I’m still standing, rolling with the punches, and trying to find my way through the rest of the things life keeps throwing my way. I just recovered from a rather nasty bit of stomach flu, that both Jarren and I had come down with. Thankfully it lasted about a day and then moved on. The new year is almost here, and one of my best friend’s birthdays is right around the corner.

With so much to look forward to, how could I possibly be unhappy?

I’m behind

I haven’t updated in a ridiculously long time, so today is going to be something of a catch up entry.

I would post the 365 days that I’ve missed, but there are too many, so here is a link to the set that I keep them in. I also added this link to my sidebar, under “365 days”, so if you ever feel inclined to check it out, there it will be.

I have been working a lot. Everyone has been sick, so I’ve picked up hours, gone in on my days off, and am clocking over time both last week and this one. It’s a bit taxing, but when I get my check I’ll be more than a little thrilled, I’m absolutely sure of it.

We celebrated our Christmas on the 24th. Sara’s mom and three sisters were here, plus Jarren, Jei, Sara and I. It was so much fun. Mom taught me how to make homemade stuffing and apple pie, and we also had a turkey, and homemade mashed potatoes and gravy. Honestly, can life get any better? I submit that it cannot.

I bought Jarren and DVD player, which we now have set up in our room. I am happy that I was able to get him something, even if it wasn’t much. My folks sent me 200 dollars to do with what I please. Most of it is going to bills. All of my next check is going to bills. Is this how life is supposed to be? Is that what I am meant to live with for the next sixty to seventy years of my life? I hope not. I’m just not sure I can handle that.

I had a horrible dream in which someone messaged me or wrote a blog or something, but it was about how I’d destroyed her life, ruined her best friend, and basically brainwashed him into loving me. I woke up feeling like I was the worst person in the world, and that she was right. Over and over, I thought, she is right, it is my fault. I know, looking at it logically, that thinking that way is absolute bullshit, but sometimes I can’t help it. Anyway, waking up and getting past that was better than anything else I could have asked for. :\

Other than that, Jarren has been throwing up all night. I’m not sure what’s wrong. He’s asleep now, and phoned into work, and he has tomorrow scheduled off. I hope he gets better soon, I absolutely hate to see him like this.

So there you have it. I’ll try to keep up, and do a better job of sticking around. I hope everyone had a merry Christmas, and are looking at a happy new year.

Good night.

Garfield’s

(The above photo is a link to a larger version of it.)

This was me at Garfield’s, a restaurant I had never been to before Mernie phoned and said, “Let’s go out! I’m paying!”

It was a lot of fun, and I’m as dorky as dorky comes. Btw- this is my 365/11 photo if you couldn’t tell.

P.S. I love Jarren.
