I feel like being scrooge

[txminipinto]

This year Christmas sucks with a capital S.

I'm normally not a whiner

, nor do I normally post about these kind of things, but today I just need a hug. I'm at work (note not working but medicating my pity with the internet - though am finding some good deals on ebay), my husband went hunting, and my parents (who I have never ever not been with on Christmas) are in Michagin with my sister.

Why is this soooo bad? When I'm on call (like I am today) I have to be within 30 minutes of the hospital, so since I live an hour away it means I have to stay up here with a friend (who left this morning to visit her family). The good news is I have the next 2 days off, but my husband will be hunting (unless I can guilt him to come home early but I won't since he's supportive of my training and shows). So I get to spend the next 60 hours by myself (and the ponies when I get home

). Sorry, I don't want to rain on anyone's Christmas but this is going down as the worst Christmas ever. And to add insult to injury, I made the mistake of going to Marty's website. I had to leave for obvious reasons.

Yeah, I know what your saying. Having a very bad time here too. On a brighter note, there is the hope that comes with the coming New Year.

I'll say a prayer that things get better for you.

lt stinks but it'll pass. We went in early to town to help set up for the christmas dinner for the not so well to do then l dropped my daughter of at her place and came home now it's just me and the doggie for the day. Late tomorrow evening l need to leave for the U.S. to see my auntie in case this is the last time l have the chance which l'm grateful for but l really hate to travel so it's not a fun thing for me and this year the old dear wants to tour some places to boot so even more travel while down there heck just writing this is depressing. l must be selfish others don't have an opportunity to visit with elders while there still around and l feel it's a chore. But l do have a whole box of milk covered chocolate almonds l'm going through.

I know, I shouldn't be too depressed. There are so many others who are having so much more pain this holiday season. I should feel blessed that all of my loved one's are healthy and enjoying the holiday (so to speak) as well. It just stinks that I'm all by my little lonesome today. This too shall pass.
