whitereflectionNgah...is effing cold... >_> *hates mornings* S'pose it doesn't help I only allowed myself a couple hours sleep. Bad me. Just is hard to wind down to crash sometimes. I'd sleep in, except I've got a dr's appointment first thing so I gotta have the car. Not sure what I'll do after it, whether come home and WoW or stay out (or nap/sleep..? ;-; )
So...the important things of the last couple days, not just the loot list, hm? Christmas Eve, I was struck particularly by the service at Michael's. Was the usual, except during the candlelight-only singing of Silent Night at the end, everyone stood in a circle (kind of interesting with pews, yes). But that way, it was possible to see everyone in the glow of the candles--and for some reason it made everyone stand extra close, shoulder-to-shoulder, which for some reason makes everyone feel more like one big group, not just a bunch of individuals. And when I looked up, through the glass of the upper-level nursery I could see the multicolored lights of their tree up there. So in the dark, the glow of all the candleflames, everyone singing in that together-yet-quiet way, and then those lights up above...man. It was just something.
Christmas Day was at my aunt's new apt. in Seward--not very far from where my grandparent's house was. My other aunt decided she didn't 'feel good' enough to show up, which really bothered my aunt Connie (she's the one on chemo), but that was lightened by my cousins showing up, including my one cousin's 13-mo-old, Brynn. I hadn't expected to be charmed by her, honestly kids are not my thing--but she's just...strangely delightful. So well-behaved, independent, and intelligent for that age--and she loves books already. She's already trying to read to herself. *wow-ness* But it was good food, a really good group of folks, a lot of good conversation and laughing--I haven't had such a comfortable Christmas/family gathering in a long while.
DnD game yesterday wasn't, yet again, but was just hours of talking--didn't really irritate me until the end, tho, I guess. But was an evening well-spent with WoW. *happy* Sasuke-rogue is lvl 19 now :D Even got to do what holiday quests my level allowed.
