my vacation has taken a turn for the worse. not only did i have to work today, but i have contracted a miserable cold, which is kinda putting a damper on my plans to go out and have a lot of fun. i'm all stuffy and sniffly and coughy amd it sucks.
but christmas was alright. got to spend some quality time with some family i like and don't see too often, and a little too much time with some family members that annoy me. oh well. there was a lot of stress and confusion at my grandparents' house for xmas dinner because my grandfather is still in a recovery center not quite a hospital rehab type place. so everyone was dealing with it in different ways, some quite selfishly, actually. but it worked out fine. and i got to leave and go visist my grandfather for a while and bring him dinner and he seemed to be in decent spirits.
the immediate family christmas stuff was much better. my dad's birthday is xmas day, so we have his birthday party on xmas eve. it was fun. i stayed at my parents' house that night and awoke to presents and good cheer and an enormous breakfast. the rents hooked me up with an ipod! i love it so much! it's so supersexy. i was late to dinner at grandma's because i went home to play with my new toy. i don't think i've been so obsessed with anything i've gotten for xmas since i was about 6. i'm a dork.
the ipod, however, has made me truly realize how old and useless my computer is. it's a little light on memory, so every time i try to import cd's into itunes it crashes. and i have 8 gigs left on the ipod, but almost nothing left on the hard drive. so sad to underutalize such a beautiful thing. i even got to the point of frustration where i applied for credit at dell, but was declined because i don't pay my college loans. so i have to figure a way to band-aid this thing for a while or try to work more and save some cash. i've tried saving before, but never been too succesful. oh well.
looking at this entry now it seems disjointed and rambly. i think the clogged sinuses are having an affect on my mental processing.
guess it's time to go comment around a bit. i've been neglecting comments lately cause i'm a bad person.
have a good new year if i don't see ya.
