Merry Christmas/Happy New Year/Happy Humpday
Okay, so I'm wwwaaaayyyy overdue for a post. Deal with it! A lot has been happening in my little world. My little sister (31) graduated from college in mid December. It was kind of a big deal for our family. Steph is the 1st college grad. (I getting a fair bit of flack about that). Anyway, some relatives drove in from Houston, and arrived just in time for the ceremony. Afterward, the entire lot of us went to dinner at IHOP. It was great, sitting around sharing stories and laughing. Unfortunately, all good things must come to end. The folks from Houston departed from the restaurant and headed back home. Their visit was much too short, but I hope to drive down for a weekend sometime in the near future.
Christmas was okay for the most part. There's never enough time and money to do and buy all the things I would like. Christmas Eve I found out that a friends mother had passed away. I couldn't help but feel bad even though I didn't know the lady very well. It's a horriblr thing to lose someone you love, but during a holiday...that only makes it a hundred times worse. Her Christmas's will NEVER be the same.
The family Christmas was pretty low key. We just hung around Mom's house and watched the kiddos enjoying their loot. I think we've all got a lot pressing on us right now, so it kinda dampened our holiday spirits. I know that I never really got cheerful.
New Year's Eve at the Lonesome Dove was the same as it always has been. Many of the same people and the same counting down the New Year BEFORE midnight (damn bar time). I left a little after 1:00 and headed to the truck stop. I had breakfast with Mom and was gone before the rest of the bar crowd ever arrived.
Right now I'm wrapped up in the change over that's about to take place in my little office. My boss is retiring and selling his agency to an agent from Missouri. From what I've been told, the new guy intends to keep me on, but nothing is definite yet. The change won't actually happen until April 1, but Darren (the new boss) is comimg in tomorrow to check things out. I guess I'll have to wait and see how it all unfolds.
I guess that pretty much sums up all that's been happening of late. I'll try to get back to posting regularly. I'm still playing chess on-line, and losing most of the time. Hopefully, I'll start improving soon. Wish me luck!
