this painting is by sara's friend, mary, and it's called hangover at hots. this is what i'd rather be doing right now versus what i HAVE to do. for those unfamiliar with my holiday traditions, tomorrow is my longest day of the year.i have to stay up late tonight packing and wrapping presents. then, i have to work at 7am until 4pm, addressing statements like...
"i'm looking for a book, but i don't know the title or the author."
"no, i know the book is out-of-print...but i want the audiobook of this play. i looked it up on the internet."
or after a customer drinks the entire large latte, she decides that she didn't like it and wanted a refund.
[all this on top of working another fourteen hour day. luckily, nathan, my buddy, always pulls through and plays "the essential journey" album to cheer me (and most of the customers) up. so i spent the last couple of hours singing in the warehouse.]
but tomorrow, i drive home and get ready for midnight mass (we are there at 10pm). we stay up and exchange presents. then i finally can get some sleep.
i'm really looking forward to time with my family and sara's family. i need to get the heck out of dodge and get some perspective. and since i'm off the day after christmas, i get to spend the night at maribeth's. yay! there's nothing like spending time with a friend who knows you better than you know yourself. warning: there will be much more reflection.
