Christmas Eve .........

I am beginning to think that certain things become programmed in to us. It is now 12:30 PM on 12/24/2013, the sun is shining, there is some snow on the ground, I got some last minute shopping done at Walmart, actually, me and half of the city. I was there around 11:30 AM, a time generally reserved for some leisurely shopping, park near the store, plenty of warm carts, but not today.

I had to park in the outer perimeters of the lot, there were only a few carts, way back in the back, and the store was crowded. I got the few things I needed, found out last night that I was doing the dressing tomorrow, got stuff for dinner tonight, so I am done shopping.

As I sit here, on Christmas Eve, I am experiencing thoughts and feelings that are a part of my past. I am feeling like, I am done, the battle is over, all is in readiness for ..... tomorrow.

Did we get more for Melissa than Brad, maybe we better head back in and get some things for Brad. Is Jim gonna be here to help wrap tonight.

It is nice living in this dream world, reality tomorrow ... but for now .....
