Alone for the holidays

For months I have been planning to go to Alaska to see my daughter and then to Spokane to see my son. So, do to the lack of work ethic of someone else, I am stuck at home alone with no family for Christmas. That is what I get for having to depend on someone else. I get let down again by people who do not do their jobs in a way that seems logical to the rest of the world. If I did my job like the way I have been handled, I would not have a job for long. 

longest night of the year

Here it is the longest night of the year, the Winter Solstice, Yule... and I am reading my Herbal Almanac. Hmmm. Can't tell how much I am into winter, right? Welcoming back the sun sounds like the perfect way to spend the next four or five months.
