It's about time I update, I suppose.

Christmas was good. I had the house to myself, so that was awesome, but I woke up Christmas morning from a SUPER fucked up dream about seeing my mom die so I had to call her to make sure she was ok. Then I made my usual Christmas morning calls to my dad and grandma and I got a little teary eyed when I got off the phone. I miss my family so freaking much!

If I hadn't committed to moving in with my #1 (which I'm super excited about!) then I would be going back to Florida, maybe. I miss being around family.

So, I've decided to drop down to part-time at school this semester so I can afford to move out. My douche-bag of a brother got kicked out of his dad's house and is living back home at my mom's so I've figured it's time I fly the nest finally. I need to get myself into a better financial situation and start standing on my own two feet again. As much as I want to finish my degree as quickly as possibly, making sure my home life is happy and stable is more important right now. I can't have dreading every time I'm home... or locking myself in my room.

Let's see... not much else to report. All I got for Christmas was Gator stuff and Starbucks giftcards. My sister decided I could pick out something for myself, which wasn't hard because I bought her what I wanted myself, and it went on sale at work. So, score for me!

I'm moving into my #1's house in February when her cousin moves out and back in with his parents. I was advised that I can stay in the guest bedroom until my room is vacated but I can't afford rent yet, so I'd rather not give anyone a reason to resent me being there. I have been given the go-head to start moving my stuff into the garage, which I will be doing when I have stuff to move. I only started packing books and whatnot today, although I do have some already-packed boxes up in the attic, so I could always start with that.

I'm looking forward to being able to stay up as long as I want when I'm over at my #1's and just walking down the hall to my room whenever I feel like it's time for bed. The only down-side to moving is that Marley, my sister's dog, can't come with me. It'll be in the city and county of Denver and that's a no-no for pitbulls. And as much as I love him and want to keep him, my sister and I have decided he needs a better home. She moved into our sister-from-another-mister's house that is also in the city limits, so he's been my adopted son for the better part of 2 years. If I could afford a house on my own, I would hands-down not be considering getting rid of him, but honestly, he needs a better home with a family and/or owner that can give him the time and attention he deserves. He's in severe need of training and re-socializing and I neither of us can afford it.
