West Coast Christmas

Despite the lack of snow here, our neighbourhood is getting more and more Christmasy every day with all the lights on the houses. TJ and I always try and take the most lit-up streets when we are walking in the evenings.

It's a west coast christmas.......well, almost. But for me and T, it will also be an Alberta one. I'm getting really excited about going back to Alberta to see everyone. I am also excited that I will have the days off. Last year in December I was completing two courses in one third of the time they are supposed to be done, and was really stressed over Christmas. The previous three years I was working over Christmas...I think I got xmas day off once or twice, which was good....but no extended time. So, it's been a while since I've had time off at Christmas, and how exciting it will be!

I am really looking forward to seeing my nephew in person, too. Last I saw him he was just weeks old. I have been able to see him on facetime quite a bit, only to watch him get bigger and not be able to really interact with him....so I can't wait!

Ugh, I'm kind of in a funk, worked last night and just woke up about an hour ago. I was going to get up earlier and get out to do a bit of shopping, but alas! Looks like I'm staying in for the night now, as it's really too late to get to the stores. Oh well, oh well. Dishes, laundry, and some recording? Sounds good. Maybe a walk and a warm drink with TJ, too....
