amigone2515This was a good Christmas! I'll do what my wifey did, and make a list of what I received!
- cookbook
- The Tales of Beedle the Bard
- 24 pencils (for gaming! w00t! Oh, and maybe for school...)
- roobix cube (Yeah I can't spell. Eat me.)
- Bath and lotion set
- Licorice Allsorts (FTW!)
- A certificate to the Banff Hotsprings and a meal in Banff, when the roads are good enough. I'm hoping to save up and have enough to get a hotel room for a night too! (best gift ever!)
- A puppy figurine
- Digital Photo Frame
- Slimy hand thing to throw at my wife
- Chocolate yumminess
- small slippers
I got my wifey some panda stuff, and a nice nightgown. Ya know, the kind you don't wear for very long before someone takes it off of you.
It was kinda sad when I called my sister because she didn't have enough money for Christmas this year. But considering she's about to have a baby that's not a surprise. When I cooked Christmas supper this past Saturday, she got a gift from Jos and I though, so it's not like she went without. I can't wait for my nephew to be born!
There's a bit of family drama going on. My one uncle is in from Regina, and I guess no one on this side of the family has heard from him, save for my daddy. This uncle dropped his computer off for my dad to fix it, but that's all we heard. I wouldn't care much, we weren't close at all, but his wife (who is a whopping 4 years old than me), just had a baby in July, and I want to see him. But that's how stuff is.
I work again tonight. Yesterday was busy at the hospice, there was family in every room. My patients all went to be earlier than they usually do, becuase their families wore them out. I expect the same today. The cooks in the kitchen with the help of the hospice director, and some board members made a wonderful supper with tonnes of food. They made turduckin (a turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken), mashed potatos, stuffing, cabbage rolls (ew), and more desserts than anyone ever needs. It was really fantastic. It's kinda hard working, because it's the last Christmas for everyone there. But at least I can give them care, and make sure they are comfortable and safe and have the best damn last christmas they can.
I work until Saturday, then I have two off. I work one evening shift, and then I took NYE and the 1st off, and my regular days off are the 2 and 3 as well, then a night shift on the 4th, then two more days off! So I work Christmas this year, but I'm going to try to get it off next year, so we can go to Horsefly and see Josie's family.
I hope everyone on my Flist has a fabulous day, and a happy new year :)
