Merry Christmas!! 

Lately it seems like I only post on Mondays.  It has been a rather long week.  After rushing through last week, it continued into this week as I got ready to go see my parents on the east coast.  Unfortunately, before I could do that I was trying to close down the corporation I started in the spring, and ran into a last minute snag.  The business valuation my CPA was doing turned out to be the wrong thing and I had to find someone else to do one.  I am still trying to get it done by the end of the year, but it doesn't look good.  I am still hopeful though.

The drive down was nice, I listened to Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Trader--both part of the Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis on my iPod. I even started The Silver Chair, but using a FM transmitter didn't work as well as I had hoped and I kept having to change the station.  I wish they was a better way to listen to them in my car.

Christmas was good, but it was also somewhat disappointing.  Since I am unemployed, I didn't buy many gifts this year and feel really bad about it.  On top of that there were not very many people at home this year, so it was light in that manner as well.  Also, I didn't tell people what I needed or wanted--because I don't seem to know--and so I didn't get much in the way of gifts.  One of my sisters did send me some Star Wars cookie cutters, sandwich cutters and a Darth Vader spatula--all from Williams Sonoma.  They are very nice, but extremely impractical.  I like getting some things that are impractical. Santa Claus brought me some tools and also put a set of Buckyballs in my stocking.  The Buckyballs are a lot of fun--I highly recommend them--but they are definitely not for children.

I slept so good over the weekend, but now that the week has started, so has my anxiety.  I have the whole closing down the corporation thing and the resume bootcamp thing that are now weighing very heavily on my mind.  I regret so many things and I wish I could just let them go.  That is my New Year's wish is that I will learn to let things go and not dwell on every little detail. Also, I hope to be a little more positive and upbeat.  Wish me luck.
