It's that time again. Christmas has now come and gone and I need to start packing for my 18 days back with my family. It's weird how sometimes now it feels weird to call that home when I've only been gone a year and a half. What can you do though? Things change. Its going to be weird to be away from Jon for 18 days but I think a break like this one will be good for us, I need to regain some individuality, it's crazy how much two people merge when they start living together. I just hope we learn from our break instead of get annoyed when we have to start compromising again.
On another note, I just finished reading How to be Good, by Nick Hornby. It's not a self help book, it's a novel about a woman and a marriage and a weird healer guy. It's really good and I'd recommend it to everyone just for the little philosophical thoughts and dilemmas she has. The ending kinda bummed me out because as much as I like Nick he cant end a book for shit. It just kinda stops, still though it's a good read.
I've been reading more lately, I dunno if that means Im trying to escape from reality or if I'm actually doing more of what I want to be doing. Probably a little of both, it makes me happy to read and soon I'm gunna go home to demanding friends, cousins who look up to me and parents who keep me under constant watch. A little escape could come in handy then.
Nevertheless, this was a good holiday season, I'm excited to go home and see all my family/friends/pets and take a bath in my CLEAN bathroom and eat in my CLEAN kitchen and do laundry which doesnt require me to step into below freezing weather to switch the load every 30 min. Some home cooked food goes a long way.
Happy Holidays to everyone, I hope everyone has a safe rest of break.
