Is it over yet?


Not going to lie. I kinda feel the same way. The step son moved out on Christmas day last year to live with his dad full time. So this is our first year alone. And my wife is now sick....


But we are having my grandpa over for Christmas day as it is his first holiday without my grandma.

Sorry Troy. Hope you get some enjoyment
 
I guess I'm the Grinch in the bunch at work as well. Everybody is so happy and cheerful, it appears I'm the only one not feeling the holiday spirit. I even skipped the company party this year; dropped off the food item I was supposed to and cut out. Was happier after the drinks at home though, but that's a different topic :lol:
 
Work really kills it for me. We get punished for holidays. Came of a 12 hour shift yesterday. Off today/christmas. But looks like sat/sun work. 10 hour shifts etc. Cant wait till jan 2 when its all over. I thought some people were going to walk out last night....
 
Been kind of feeling a bit like Scrooge myself. Don't get me wrong. I'd like to be a bit more merry. Been down with this surgery for about 8 weeks now and it's more or less kept me home and sitting with my foot up (per Dr.'s orders). My wife also had some pretty serious surgery about 2 weeks ago that has her down. She's not supposed to lift any more than a half gallon of milk. We've had to change things up there as we've always bought gallons ;). That leaves me dragging laundry, dishes, dinner or what ever around on crutches a step at a time. Taking the garbage to the curb is a new experience as it now takes me about 10 minutes. :)

At the end of the day I just need to quit feeling sorry for myself. We're pretty blessed and at least I have a favorite chair in which to put my foot up in.

We live in a land of opportunity and as tough as times might seem fortune smiles on most of us. I am grateful for modern medicine and the health we enjoy because of it. I'm grateful to worship as I see fit. I'm grateful for family and good friends and that includes many on this forum. It is my hope that all of you can find some time away from the same old, same old, if that is what you desire. Find the time and have the ability to sit back, put your feet up, relax and enjoy the family, friends and the season. Merry Christmas to all. It is my hope that everyone can find something not only to enjoy but to be grateful for at this time of year. May God bless each of you.
 
Sorry to hear you guys have stuff going on that's bringing you down. Our festivities got rollin last night and will continue through tomorrow evening. Luckily I enjoy them all haha.
 
Gear head, it will get better. You have the right attitude. Sorry to hear about all the surgery's. God has you & will keep you & your family. Will keep you all in prayer.
 
GH-1 -

Sorry to hear you are both laid up with surgeries..
Hope and pray that all will heal up just fine and you both are on the road to recovery..

I loved the 3rd paragraph, GH-1 - thanks so much for all that you are and all that you have done for each of us, as yet another beautiful Christmas comes quietly, lovingly, upon us..

Merry Christmas to you and yours - get well soon !!

Sorry, my Friend that work is really hard right now... I hope you will be able to get through it just fine and the extra $$$ will be a great Blessing for you and your family...

Reminds me of when I was in the Military - my particular career field required mandatory 12-hour shifts... 12 hours on, 12 hours off...
And this was only when it was peaceful outside... Otherwise, the shifts didnt end and sleep was scarce...
For 4 years..

You will get through this - just take a deep breath, say a little prayer, and move forward..

Grateful for all the work you have put into this Forum this past year - it is very much appreciated !

You know, as I keep getting older (than all of you), I have come to learn this one little truth about this life --

We will all be at times, stretched what seems to be beyond our limits - but it will never be that far...

Surely, it will stretch us and hurt a little, but we all will be able to take it and one day look back and see how much stronger we are, and how much farther and higher we have climbed up to the top of our mountain..

We will look back at how far we went and how dark and deep it was, and think - wow - I really did that !! And you did ... And you will be able to do it again...

Love you man,

Merry Christmas to you and your family !

Yea. It will pass. Agree. After TAXES :( Check should be ok. Going to be rough till JAN 2ND. We all hope. Part that got me last night was we hardly even got a verbal "merry christmas". Sad on their part.
