"... and I'll call you back... BEEP"

"Hey Beth! I know we haven't talked in awhile, but well I have some good news and some bad news. Goon news is that there will be a Drunk and Unemployed party tonight... the bad news, the restaurant is closed. Saturday was the last day of business. Anyway... You should come, your part of the family...."

Thats the message I had to leave on a buddies answering machine today.

Sorry its' been so long, things got turbulent to say the least. I had to leave school for a term; I didn't have enough money to go. I'm pretty sure Im going back but, it was a blow. A big blow...

Next the place I've worked for the last three years, thats a home more then a job, closed. Done. Fin. Gone. We got a weeks notice that we'd be jobless for Christmas. The people there Im very protective of. They are family before co-workers, and I treated them as such. This was a HUGE blow.

I keep getting the strange feeling that nothing will ever be the same. It hasn't really sunk in yet. Well it Sort of, it sort of has.

It just doesnt seem like Christmas anymore......
