Holiday Break
Jan. 2nd, 2018 02:12 pmSo … 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!
