Dec. 24th, 2004 02:34 pmWell, it's been a stressful week, but it's drawing to a close. Christmas is here, Nanny is home from the hospital, and I realized this morning I only have a week left here. This is both good news and bad; I miss my routine and my privacy in Santa Cruz, where no one talks to me unless I talk to them first, but at the same time I enjoy being on vacation and it's been good to see family. The weather here is nice, although I expected it to be warmer. But again, there are two sides to how I feel about the weather here--it's nice but I miss the rain. Is it raining in SC this week?
I finished watching the second season of Gilmore Girls on DVD last night. I tried to pace myself to make the season last all of winter break.... but alas, I have no willpower.
I think I'm going to take myself to midnight mass tonight (Nanny's too sick to go, and Poopah and Dom aren't religious). Sort of a religious thing for me, but not in an organized religion sort of way. It's sort of symbolic, and maybe it's sort of a thing to make me remember to keep striving to be a better person, to keep striving to make the world a better place for everyone in it, not just the people I like. It sort of has to do with that whole "agreement" I decided I have with the God I'm not sure I believe in. Besides, I have a thing for Christmas carols, so if we sing I'll probably get all emotional and cry, which actually would be cathartic this week, and which I might enjoy.... And mainly, I just want to go because the service I would go to is in the church right down the street, which happens to be the only year-round open-air Catholic church in the world. It's gorgeous. It doesn't have any walls and all the columns are wrapped in wreathy stuff and Christmas lights, and there are luminaries up the path and giant wreaths behind the pulpit.... Not to mention the beautiful architecture. I've wanted to go to a service there since I first saw it. If I was ever to join/begin an organized religion and build a church, it would look a lot like this one.
This morning I woke up and wanted Christmas pajamas. Of course, I haven't had Christmas pajamas since I lived in Alaska, but for some reason this morning I really missed the Christmas pajamas.
Anyway. Enough pointless entryness.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
