I'm glad you got to share some time with your sister. A loving family is the best.
I can't wait to go see that movie. Maybe after Christmas.

Thanks Christmas Crazy! And yes it would be a great movie to keep the post-Christmas spirit high!

Jolly O'Leary wrote:So glad to see new postings from my Christmas friends to cheer me up. This has been a rotten day. First I had an inexperienced technician at the blood lab and wound up walking out (I give them one chance to find a vein, no hunting......) so I have to go back tomorrow and pray she is not the only one in. Then what I thought was going to be a quiet week at work has turned out stressful because of a deadline I did not know we had......why do people assume I automatically know everything my predessesor did?? and to top it off, I have a mammogram tomorow. Ugh.........I am so looking forward to Christmas. I was feeling guilty about taking friday off, but not any more. I need a day to myself even if I have to go to the naprapat. It will be nice to sleep in a little and take my time getting there.

Sorry your day was so stressful, Jolly, and extra-glad you are definitely taking Friday off. To have a great Christmas we need time ourselves for R&R!! Maybe you can play Christmas carols with candlelight while taking a bubble bath! Either way hoping Wednesday is much smoother for you!

tinseltown wrote:Hope your week improves Jolly . I spread more of the Christmas spirit by decorating the lab for the doctor where i used to work ,it was a tiny tree though now just finished decorating my parents in laws house . Mum in law was thrilled ,especially with the nativity i created in her cubby hole with gold tinsel and figures i brought from England and the tree looks great . My friends have started to call me Mrs Christmas ,love it

Just love how you spread the Christmas Spirit to all you know tinseltown! Now that's one of the truest reasons: to model God's giving! I think "Mrs Christmas" is very apropro for you! Merry Wednesday!

Your Christmas adventures sound wonderful ksrjreed! And how exciting for the teens to earn their way to Disneyland next Autumn! All your hard work is reaping beautiful benefits! Just hoping you have time to rest Christmas Eve & Christmas Day and enjoy church services & family/friends!

I am finally feeling like I can truly enjoy the season. Despite the snow on the ground right now, I have been stressed most of the year because of my job search. But alas... I was offered a position at a wonderful school just today!!!! Finally a full time job with benefits!! I feel like I can finally take a breath again.

I love being here with you all! More to come.
