So … the break. A week and a half off of work. It was fantastic and way too quick! I wish I had taken off a little more, but eh … too much time off is actually bad for me. I become way too idle (and FAT). I ate so damn much those ten-ish days. Ugh. So yeah … I definitely did nothing but eat, sit around and video game. It was … amazeballs. :D

Christmas eve, Nelson and Trisha showed up around 10PM. We opened gifts, had some wine, watched Christmas Vacation on the tube and just had some good laughs and chatter while we opened gifts. I got a lot of the stuff on my wish list but no new gaming PC :D I did get one part for it, though. So yay! I think Im going to buy all the parts I need this week and hopefully my brother can build it next week. It’s been a really long time since I’ve used a desktop at home. Will be interesting. Then, I can just leave my gaming laptop at Danny’s house.

On New Year’s Eve, Mike threw a party but since my momma didn’t want to go and I didn’t want her to stay alone, I took one for the team and stayed home with her. It was actually perfect because I really didn’t want ‘party all night’. I did a quick drive by his house, hung out for about an hour and came back to Danny’s around 9:30PM. I watched some television with her, played a little Warcraft, and then she and I drank some wine as the New Year rang in. I stayed up watching NCIS until 4ish am.

I really have missed that show. I stopped watching it completely (even the re-runs) when Ziva left, but I started it from season 1 last week and I am remembering how much I loved this show. I am going to just watch up until Ziva leaves and repeat. Now that Michael Weatherly isn’t even on it anymore either, I am just not interested in the newer seasons, but the first 11 are great (with Ziva and Kate).

Anywho. In other news … Guess who is pregnant?! Right … you can’t. Anyway … Diane! She told us the happy news on Christmas day. Yesterday, they had the ‘gender’ reveal party. It was a small family thing, and quite lovely. They’re having a BOY, which made both of them VERY happy (and us too). My uncle (baby-to-come)’s grandpa… cried. It was so adorable. So they have that wonderful moment in their life happening in 2018, so it shall be a great year for them! I’m very happy for their growing family <3

Other than that, the break was relatively relaxing. I played a lot of Warcraft (of course). I managed to get quite a few achievements done that I really wanted (for mounts). So, I am very happy about that. I need one more tonight and I will get me another mount. It will depend on how tired I am though. As the first day back to work today, I may just want to lie in bed and zone out to television … but if I’m up for it, I’ll hop on and get the last achievement for the Pandarian raid mount. I still have to get over the laziness and work on the Pandaria reputations because there’s about 15 – 20 mounts right there. Maybe I’ll work on those starting next week.

Now that the holidays are over, a lot of the regulars are going to start coming back. I’ve gotten really used to the small group so when the influx of returners come back, I’ll feel mad awkward again. Ugh.

Anyway. I have some things to get done. Write later!

Today’s the last day of work until 2018. I has the excite. I’ve been trying to get stuff all set up/ready and done before I leave.

Crazy has been on her typical warpath to butt into every conversation. Someone literally made the briefest comment about a plant on my counter and she jumped up out of her seat, ran out of her office, to jump into the conversation, which I immediately excused myself from (because it wasn’t even a convo!). Then the person who made the comment got sucked into a totally different one (about Crazy building things in her spare time, to her then showing her photos of said things) … and tried to drag me back in. Thankfully, I was actually working on something at the time and was like “Sorry, been ignoring to work.” Like really?! I don’t come to work to socialize about shit for 8 hours.

Right now, I am writing this on my lunch break. I surf on breaks. Otherwise, I am working. GAH.

In better (but still troubling) news, mom has a sciatic nerve. So at least it wasn’t my impending doom thoughts dealing with her Diabetes. The doctor is giving her some medication, and he said she should feel a bit better in 2-3 days. IF she’s not, then he will get her into some physical therapy for it. So we’ll see how the meds work. Hopefully they’re good. He was actually such a good doctor, my mom is leaving her old doctor and moving to him, so good news there.

I really just hope she feels a lot better in a few days.

Tonight is raid night. We’re going to take on Argus (the final boss in the final raid for this expansion). We got him down to 2% last week and we didn’t have the ‘best of the best’ with us. Im going to try to hop into LFR beforehand and see if I can get some loot before the raid. I’m really just looking for tier gear, since I have NONE, and apparently that gives a big DPS boost.

Sigh. I have zero luck in the damn game. I actually got another legendary the other day and it’s SO AWFUL it isn’t even on the top 10 list of decent legendries for me. Of course, that counts as a received legendary tho, so now I won’t get another chance drop for weeks. This is my luck in WoW. It’s amazing I still play the damn game LOL.

That is if everyone comes on tonight. They were kind of iffy since I think some of the guild members are travelling early for holidays but they didn’t know HOW early.

Oh well, lunch is almost over, so let me wrap this up. I hope to write during the holiday break, but in case I do not and if anyone actually reads this … have a WONDERFUL holiday season and a very safe and happy New Year!
