not a creature was stirring…

well except this one. ;)

Back from Alabama, Ontario and coughing less.

Awesome no?

I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed my last flight home yesterday….United had a nice new plane some 767 thingie. Everyone got to sit in their own little compartment. Much like a TV dinner - so my ass refrained from spilling onto my neighbors and I have to say the sweet cold kiss of steel against my thighs was welcome. I’ve been so conscious of how much space I take up in these planes. It seems that my ‘compartment’ clearly held my size 16 ass without making it too snug. I’ve figured out that older planes have narrow seats and it’s so excruciating to not touch someone else’s ass with your own and virtually torture to try to cross your legs in that non existent leg room space that I just wanted to SCREAM! I have to keep my arms folded the whole time because there is no room on that miniature arm rest.

Good Grief.

My travels should end after that 1st week of January. One more round trip to Alabama to pick up my teen and to pick up another teen in Ontario.

I thoroughly enjoyed my brother when I went down to Ontario. I gave him some money and bought him an electric blanket. It was good to laugh and pal around with him a little. We talk nearly every day. Poor guy is at least 300 pounds and that was really hard to see. He’s always on some diet or another but it never works out. He’s on one right now….

I love him and really hope that next year he gets a good job, loses some weight - finds happiness you know?

Funny how life works out no?

I got my brother on a little conference call to my folks tonight. Thanked Dad for that ludicrous watch he sent? Shows you how much he knows me - I never wear a watch. I’d rather have a gift certificate to Amazon so I could get my Wen hair stuff, a book or two or something…

Oh well, he sounded happy that we sounded grateful.

My brother and I got a good laugh out of those clunky giant expensive watches. WTF!? We want money!

Rotten kids.

We suck.

Meanwhile, Mom tells me that my 50 year old Aunt is getting so many suitors that she doesn’t want to settle down. WTF?! I can’t get a date and my aunt is rollin in men? My mother thinks she’s got an STD now and told me she didn’t really understand why I’m still single.

Good Grief.

Good for her.

Meanwhile, it’s been raining today and I saw a few of my kids to play Santa today. It was nice. I stayed at work till 5:30 and then went over to see one of my kids at a group home. Poor thing is a quadriplegic, developmentally delayed and non verbal. I explained why he was moved and told him I would come often to visit with him. Got him some cartoon sheets and a giant plush teddy bear that he could cuddle up against. Poor thing was so uncomfortable, his breathing so labored. I got the number for his new doctor and left her a message on my way home.

My mission, now that he’s closer for me to visit every two weeks is to get him as comfortable as possible. I have a feeling more can be done for him but somebody’s got to make a lot of noise.

Goodness knows I’m very adept at making noise.

So sleeping in tomorrow will be wonderful. A Christmas present to myself. The Cats couple want to meet up and go see Doubt as well as sharing a meal. I really would rather stay home and rest… She got a raise 3.5% at work so I’m so glad they recognized what a gem they have in her. She may be shit about paperwork but she is incredible with patients. She’s going for another fitting for her shoes - it never worked out ;(

Well, I guess at 10:08pm - I’ll call it a night.

My beloved Wonka is on TV… goodness I just love Gene Wilder in this movie. I never tire of it….

Come with me
And you’ll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you’ll see
Into your imagination
