Christmas has come and gone, and it was an overall nice Christmas.

I really shouldn't freak out so much, but I suppose it's in my nature to do so.  I can't really say it's a bad thing to always expect the worst, since things never turn out as bad as I think they will and I'm always pleasantly surprised.

I got the things I wanted, though I didn't realize I wanted them until I got them.  That is to say, even though I didn't get most of the things I had asked for, I still got lots of things that I liked.  It was a gift card Christmas, which is okay, because that's probably what I need more than anything.

And I got to see Russell quite a bit, and it made me really happy to see him.  I wish I could have gotten him a better present, but, like I said before, I was broke.  Oh well, there's always his birthday.

And his porch is my new favorite place in the world.

It's been unseasonably warm this winter, especially for Illinois.  The geese haven't even flown south, and I've only needed to wear my winter coat on one or two occasions.  Half the time I wouldn't even need a coat if I was wearing a sweatshirt.  I'm not incredibly sentimental about a white Christmas or anything, but at least a little bit of winter weather would be nice.

But anyway...I had a very tiring week, and I'm ready to just lay around in my pajamas watching junk TV for a couple days.  It doesn't really help that Russell gave me his cold either...

And you know, a New Year's Eve alone doesn't sound so bad right now.

With love,

Keisha
