Last day of work for the year. 1 month off.

The Mrs and boy will be away for 2 weeks of it, so it's me, the cricket, Netflix and a few books.

Ahhhhh ... peace and quiet.

I wub joo too Mez.

The last time I had a break like this was 3-4 years ago, so I'm thinking it's due. Plus I'll miss them and appreciate them more when they get back.
I reckon I've done pretty well for someone with the world's worst case of Only Child Syndrome.

Good news!

BTW I was on those meds last year for stomach issues. They helped.

My 5 year old attention-span-of-a-goldfish boy just sat through the entirety of Episode IV tonight, without getting (too) distracted.

I'm so proud. I think I have something in my eye ...

Very good gym session today. I'm probably going to be sore as hell tomorrow, but happy Puck is happy :unworthy:

Gosh, Egwene, please... :unworthy:

That being said, I am unfittingly happy that I have managed to repurpose a useless present from work as a Christmas present for my mom. She is going to get a fancy and modern-looking cube-shaped decorative vase. Good quality. Real wood. Yadda yadda.

My coworkers gave me lots of booze and chocolate for Christmas. Clearly they think my sin is gluttony.

Life is good, met a girl. A little palestinian girl.. she likes guns and shooting, she loves hiking.. camping and the great outdoors.

Not super nerdy, but .. one of the most wonderful things about women is she just wants to know more! Her politics are amazing too! Her main reads are history, Arabic in particular and just a different set of the world then me.

She is a really really great human being... honestly you know when your lucky just to cross paths with an amazing person..

This. This is what life is about. Honestly just happy to cross paths.. been a moment for me. We are going to a cowboy bar and I will show her a good time. Surprsingly.. I know how to dance.

Early clock-off today because Christmas. Being a fee earner has perks it seems. Then not in until a week today with loads of time off in-between to game and write.

About to bug out from work for the Holidays. Always a good feeling to head home with the knowledge that I'm off for a week or so.

home at 4 PM after stuffing myself at a company xmass lunch.

Ready to enjoy my 4.5 days of holiday break (then 2 days of "work", followed by another 4 days off), and spending the holiday gift card I got from my bosses.

Life is pretty good right now.
