Hospitals, Holidays and Happiness

I can think of a million different ways that I would rather spend tomorrow; it’s going to be another full day at the hospital. Ugh! I would rather lick envelopes, be at work, or sit in traffic than sit at a hospital all day. I hate hospitals! They drive me nuts and make me very uncomfortable. My mom thought that I should be a nurse when I was younger but the only way that would happen is if I were in the mental ward pretending to be one. That’s the only way you are going to get me into the hospital besides pregnancy or something ridiculously serious; other than that, fat chance! And because I have to take a day off, I have to re-arrange my Christmas holiday. Which is actually nice is one way. I won’t be gone for quite as long and it won’t drive me nuts as badly because I know that it won’t be as long. That’s good but I won’t be able to spend as much time with my family who I only see once or twice a year. There are worse things.

I’m still torn about not spending Christmas in NH but I can deal with it. I was talking with my dad about the holidays and this is what went down:

Dad – ‘You know, they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder.’

Me – ‘That’s not true, absence drives you facking nuts!’

It’s true though. I haven’t quite figured out how I am going to spend the time yet. Last time, being apart for 4 days, seemed like an eternity! But I will have to deal with it, only a text away. I have some plans though.

Speaking of Christmas, I tried to go Christmas shopping yesterday and just couldn’t focus on it in the slightest! It was so weird. I love giving at Christmas but nothing really caught my eye. So I have to get a move on here and get things together! Aside from that, it was the most wonderful weekend. I was extremely spoiled all weekend and ate up every moment of it that I could. So much so that I whined myself to sleep last night when I had to sleep alone! (Literally, I was completely pathetic and as a result I didn’t end up falling asleep until like an hour and half later!) It was an absolutely wonderful weekend. Period.
