Post-holiday crash

Coming back to work after vacation should really be a gradual process. Like maybe four hours the first day, then up it to six for a day or two, on and on until you're back to a usual 10-hour day. I mean, I love the job and all, but returning to work after a few days off is always depressing. As is leaving the fiancé behind for a few more weeks.

Christmas was super. My family was in Houston at my sister’s, so my better half and I were able to spend quality time with both families without running all over the state. I planned my Christmas well. I decided to just be straight with people when they asked me what I wanted and told them that I really wanted to gift card for a certain store. I haven’t really been shopping in months and I miss it. So part of the gift is the shopping experience. Anyways, using this method, I was able to get a pretty good haul, which should make for an excellent shopping experience. I did leave my book at the future in-laws’. Which totally blows since it’s like an 800-page book and I have less than 100 pages to go. Hopefully, the future m-i-l can mail it to me.

The low-light was when the present exchange with the future brother-in-law and his wife. The better half and I got them a gift. They got everyone in the family a gift. There was a gift for my future s-i-l’s fiancé. And for me? Nada. Nothing. Zilch. At first I didn’t think much of it because I just assumed that the gift to my better half was to the both of us. No, it was just to him. And not to knock the fiancé of the future s-i-l, he’s super, but I’ve been coming around a lot longer than him and he got something. I was totally snubbed. Now I know what Scorsecse feels like. I didn’t take it too personally, but it was a little weird. I’m just glad the discovery wasn’t made (at least by me) until after they left, because that would have been super-awkward.

I did get multiple pairs of fuzzy slipper socks. Which is good because the rising price of gas means that I keep my apartment pretty cool to avoid a gas bill that tops $120 a month.
