While I’ve said before……

That I hate the holidays, it’s not entirely true. I simply hate being away from my family for the holidays. I was alone for many holidays when I lived in Atlanta and since I moved here, it’s not all that different. Big Sis and her hubby are off to Ireland and I’m stuck here. Thursday is Thanksgiving, and right after that it’ll be Christmas overload. Oh goody!
Slowly but surely she’s decorating the house for Christmas (already!), and has now stated she wants to put up a tree. It’ll be bad enough to have Christmas shoved down my throat when I’ll be out and about, but I really don’t need a huge, flashing reminder of it every night. But as she’s said, it’s her house and if she wants to put up a tree then she will. I’ll probably just take it down as soon as they leave for the airport! 
I’m extra homesick right now for some reason. I have a nephew who’ll be 2 in February and I’ve yet to meet him, the other 4 are growing up so fast and I’m missing out. If it wasn’t for Baby Bro visiting with his family each year, I’d never see anyone.
I’m hoping to take a trip home in May, but I’m also hoping to move into my own place soon too; I think it’s going to come down to one or the other as there’s no way I can pull the two off.
And while I’m trying to forget all the Christmas crap, work is super busy and is a great distraction. It turns out that one project I’m working on will involve me calling special meetings to discuss the project. As much as I hate speaking in public, it’s bound to be interesting!
