Wow, I haven't realized how off the mark I have gotten. Christmas this year was one of more stress then holiday bliss. We've been through tight Christmases before, but for some reason this one really got to me. The old house is still on the market and hasn't seen much action as of late. We seriously considering finding some cheap way of dumping it off and using some serious overtime or second job to deal with the left over bills. It's like a cloud hanging over my head, and has made it hard to get excited about much, including the holidays.
This week marks the end of another year, and it seems to be hitting on a very down note. It would be nice to find a way to make a nice upswing to bring in the new year, but it doesn't seem to be in the cards for me. The job is still there and ho-hum and there's been no stellar performance from me to warrent any kind of a decent raise. Thankfully the year has ended better here then it started, and somehow I think I'll hang on to it for another year.
On the brightside, Football is getting ready to start up again and hopefully will bring a bit of fun to begin the year. The bootcamp workouts have been fun and demanding, but not quite the same. Hopefully it will have paid off once the regular practices start.
