Not Home For the Holidays
Dec 21, 2008
It's funny, When I left for LA I thought I would have no problem not being home for Xmas. After all, I had lived on my own for years in Cleveland. No family there. But one thing I had there was friends. I had parties to go to, people I could visit. And I always worked, so that those who had families could be with them. And we had a good time on all the holidays when we worked. (The view of fireworks on the 10th floor was fanastic). But here I am in LA, no friends nearby, closest family 7 hours away. I am also not working the 24th or 25th, though I am working the days before and after.
Anyway, I am sitting here feeling sorry for myself and wondering if I can make the trip home in time, or if I should just write it off as a bad idea. The weight loss is going great (down 40 pounds now), but doesn't seem worth it atm. Right now I want to pig out or something, but I can't cause my tummy won't let me. A good thing I suppose. I tried on a dress that I woulda thought was to small earlier today, and it fit! Woulda thought I would be happier about it longer. Ah well, just whining here I guess. I'll post again when I am happier.
