The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

It's de lovely

What a nice xmas season. Turmoil has been not only at a minimum, but it's pretty much been non-existent. Though I could do without surprise bills from the IRS on Dec 12, things seem to be going fine.

I had a lovely visit with the ex yesterday. We chatted about pretty much nothing for over an hour and it was fun. He's off tomorrow to his parents I hope he has a safe trip it's supposed to be snowing where he's going.

I got a few things done I as putting of, and oh yes, I hope you're sitting down...I put up xmas lights. No there will be no pictures...well probably not. We'll see how my vanity goes.

I bought the standing rib roast for xmas dinner and all the fixins yesterday. I bought the pies last night, though I had to pick them up early this morning cause they weren't cool enough to put in covers.

I declined an invite to the annual new years party my friends J and K have.

I don't usually go. There's a laundry list of reasons why, but I really don't have a good time and so I abstain. K will have a fit, J will not understand why he is having a fit. My ex will find it amusing and wonder secretly if K will guilt me into coming at least for a while. I will hate the whole process.

What family doesn't have it's ups and downs?

But today is putting the house in order, oh hell I forgot to go to the florist. Well, that's next on the list. Then wrapping presents, and perhaps putting up one more string of lights. I got a vision.

Then it's xmas eve, and wassail and all that.

After that it's peace and quiet and movies, I cannot wait.

And so it goes:

love
