Fin

This holiday season found me just going through the motions, for the most part.  Kids traded illnesses, but were able to happily celebrate Christmas.  My aunt passed away the night after Christmas.  She's been sick for quite a while.  Her funeral was Friday and it was super hard.  It's my dad's sister, so of course her loss was compounded by memories of losing my dad...plus lots of memories of their lives.  I worked yesterday on New Year's Eve, and was home in jammies and asleep by 8 o'clock.  I woke up at 10:30 to use the restroom and that's the last I recall of 2011.

But, man, I had some crazy dreams last night.  First, it was just about the end of the world (I guess) and I was confused as to why.  I learned that between 1977 and 1990, Coca Cola had made their product with unfiltered water and now we were all paying the price.  Apparently, everyone was about to die as a result....and this brought mass chaos, as well as fire-orange skies.

Then I was at some sort of geek convention in a high school gym.  There were some people I went to high school with there, as well as a couple people I work with.  I met a guy, sat with him, liked him, but didn't know his name.  He got up to use the restroom, said he'd be right back, but never returned.  I looked for him, but wasn't able to find him.  Then I learned I hadn't paid my fee for the convention.

Finally, I dreamed of work.  Of P2 tickets, of me messing them up, of some unknown person explaining to me what I did wrong.

That's all I got.  This is how you party Holiday Style.
