Oh goodness, sorry I've been MIA the last week or so, my internet's been down at home and I've been trying to come to terms with the loss...(it's back now thank god).
Not much to report really. I got a new job at a local cafe which has me washing and cleaning, bringin' out meals and sculling scalding coffee and cleaning up after children and dogs and adults too. To be honest I like it very much; it's good, hard, old-fashioned physical labour and I work hard for the money. It is a relief to be told what to do for once, to answer to a ~higher power~ and to not be my own boss. I like being in charge of my little teaching business but to be truthful I am not a kind employer to myself, you know?
The extra money has definitely come in handy for Christmas etc, I know old XMAS isn't that popular with a lot of my friends but I just love it. I'm very lucky because we have little to no conflict with our extended family at Christmas time and it's always !everyone! invited and everyone's there and it's all busy and loud with good food and kids and dogs and it's nice. I really like going to the shops and looking around for presents for my loved ones. I don't really like spending money usually but at Christmas time I'm a totally different person and I feel really liberated and just like 'NO PRICE LIMIT FOR PRESENTS!!!' and I spend all this money on the people I love and it's just nice. And this year after family Christmas I'll be heading to the Espy with my Lewis and Karate Boogaloo for their James Brown Christmas gig and then to Henry's for funny Christmas/Boxing Day afterparty time. It makes me feel really grown up and strange to think that I will be spending some of Christmas with my friends; I mean I did it last year too but it still sits funnily in my head. Not badly, but it makes me kind of nostalgic or something.
