Post Thanksgiving blog

Well Thanksgiving came and went and I am happy to say that it was a great success!  

There was plenty of food, plenty of drink, plenty of laughs and singing and rock band.  I was both happy to see everyone and exhausted for all the work and love we put into the event. Not to mention the fact that I had been preparing all week for an event at work for Black Friday (which was also a success!).

I was afraid at some point it would turn into drama because some of us are no longer around, but that didnt happen.  At least not that I know.  I did get tiny moments where I would think of my dad and how I was always trying to impress him with the wine I bought or the drink I made for him, and at some point we would have small talk about politics, but it would be soon broken up by my mother and we would continue with something else that was just ours and nobody else cared about.  We were like that sometimes.  And then I'd think of my Rory and how he'd be enjoying the party and trying to catch anything that fell from the table.  My little kitchen companion.  But those tiny moments were moments of nostalgia that didnt go any further as I would be required to go help out or someone needed me or wanted my attention.  All in all, it was mostly fun with a side of nostalgia.  Which, to me, is how a holiday party should be.  

I already miss everyone but I guess that is why it is so special.  If you had that every weekend, it would not be the same.  It is special because we give ourselves time to miss each other.  And also because as we get older, we start losing more people and it really makes you think about your own mortality, like is this my last one? or so and so is looking a little bit off or feeble and you start to wonder...😬  It's a little morbid, I know, but it is kind of inevitable to push aside.  It is what it is, just odd how these are things that dont even cross your mind when youre 20 or 30.  But I digress... there's still another party coming anyway, we are having one for Xmas but that one will be hosted by my sister thankfully so I can relax and have a good time.  I only have to worry about my drink and possibly a side and I promise you that it will not be the green pasta.  Maybe one day I'll blog about that green pasta and the work it takes to make.  

It is crazy how November is gone already.  This year has been a breeze but also the longest year if that makes sense.  Hell, I remember how just January felt like it had an extra week, man it felt like forever.  It was too much.  Like the first half of the year was slow and then the second just flew.  As soon as summer started it just went by so quick.

Well, that's it for today.  Need to get back to work and make some coin.  Bills aint gonna pay themselves.  

Have a good weekend reader!

WWDITS - Season 5

Damn that was a good season and they really brought it in the last 2 episodes.  So go watch it.

The point of this blog is not so much to talk about the seasons itself or what has happened.  I guess I was very sad once I realized that it was over for a while. It may sound silly but I feel like my friends have gone away.  This show was my comfort zone right now.  I just barely started watching it a few months ago but I really got to binge the whole thing a couple of month ago and it really distracts me from whatever sadness haunts me.  I think it kinda has to do with the fact that this is a show about vampires and in a weird way it comforts me to see some sort of immortality being portrayed even if it's just fiction.  Makes me miss my dad even more, I mean it hasnt been that long and I'm still pretty raw about it.  I just wish he could've lived longer.  It's odd for me to make that connection but it exists in my head.  

So without spoiling it too much, all I can say is Nandor takes the end of the season and makes it his and it very well deserved IMO.  Talk about character development.  I mean shit gets real and it makes you feel things.  It was good.  Very good writing.  

I did read that they are planning a season 6.  So Hollywood please get your shit together and pay these writers what they are worth.  Also the cast and crew while you are at it.  They have certainly earned it.

Hopefully I wont have to wait too long before I see my buddies again.  

Taking a small break

Hectic day here at work and I need to calm down and take a little break and just throw shit all over the office.  That will only make things worse though, so I'll just complain about it here.  That sometimes helps.

I hate it that I can't get everything done when I plan to.  I have a schedule and a rhythm with my job and it's never perfect.  In fact, it's always messed with by my bosses.  Today is worse than the usual though.

It also doesn't help when you have a coworker who just doesn't want to be part of the team.  This person does minimal work around here but is quick to point fingers when something goes awry.  I don't name names around here so we will call he/her B.   Well B really pissed me off today.  The business mgr here is a pain in the ass and is always nitpicking at everything we do.  B has decided that the bus mgr needs to know everything we do around here and it's not sitting well with the rest of the team.  I don't have time to deal with weak people.  And I usually don't.  I go about my merry way and do my job.  But today, it REALLY got to me.  So I decided to calm down and just take a break, write a little story and vent a bit.  My headache hasn't gone away, but I think I can think straight again.

I know I have readers out there.  I see my ticker.  So to all who read, I hope I have entertained you once again with my simple life.  I know it took me about 2-3 years to come back and sadly it was the passing of my River that brought me back, but I'm glad I am.  I forgot how much writing makes me ease up, take a step back and review things before I go apeshit.  Hopefully I can start getting some replies in the future.
