End of year. 12/23/04
Today is Christmas Eve eve. I unexpectedly get tomorrow off, and then the pre-planned vacation of all of next week off. So this is my last afternoon typing away here at my workstation for a while, and it will be 2005 before I’m back. Seems so unreal. Vacation?!? Me? Whoa. Really?!?
I drink hot tea and wander around in the shopping mall, feeling alone and apart from all the Christmas bustle. No presents for me this year. But I sure as hell am willing to give that up since it also means I don’t have to buy any gifts for people either. So much less stress.
