Happy New Year!
Jan. 1st, 2005 05:10 amHappy New Year everyone! I finally got my computer working again. I hope everyone had a good holiday. I've been off work this entire last week, but the only 'down' time I've had I spent watching the Tsunami news. Today was the first day that actually felt like vacation.
I'm having dinner with my Mom tomorrow. She's fixing smoked sausage and sour kraut (I think this is her 'cabbage requirement'). She'll also fix black-eyed peas, even though we don't eat them... ahhh traditions! She's had a really bad year because of her health, so I'm just grateful she can do this and that I can be there to poke fun *g* For all our differences, she remains my mom and I love her.
As I sit here typing at 5:15 in the a.m., I got a visitor. My best friend and soul mate just came downstairs and collapsed on the couch. He's got a flu-like bug that's making him burn up and then freeze. My roommate (his girlfriend), in her drunken state - drunk, on New Years!?! - kicked him out of bed because his sweating is "gross". She'll probably feel bad about this tomorrow and spend the next week making it up to him, but in the mean time, I gave him some Nyquil and he's snoring soundly. It kind of makes me glad that I'm the night owl that I am and was up to helping.
Well, I think I'll head off to bed myself now - there's a whole new year to dream about.
