Holidays

This is the longest holiday I've had in over 3 years. 25 days.

It's been a busy holiday. Baby-sitting does tend to take up a lot of your time. lol. I love my nephew but damn if I ever had illusions about how hard or rather time consuming parenting is ... I've been set straight. :-/ It has been fun playing with him though. 

I've been cooking some, helping out my mom, touring (mountain trekking and visiting forts), shopping, catching up on my emails, facebook, keeping up with blogs with google reader (I can't open your sites where I'm staying... Thank God for google reader...lol), design drawing, trying glass painting, watching movies, reading a few novels (let's not forget that! :P) and getting my life organized (hint hint - I'm a neat-freak). 

I have so many more things I would like to do. I was looking at my list in the morning (Yes, I  have a list for the holidays :D ...lol) and I've done only half of the stuff I wanted to get done during the hols. It's much better than my previous holidays though. 

My parents have been arguing a lot. It's exhausting to stay around people who argue all the time. Sometimes I wish they were separate. It would be much easier to deal with them that way. Don't get me wrong. I love them both. My mother is so special to me. My father ... well, it's complicated. He's set in his ways and doesn't change them. 

I'm more than ready to get back to the hospital and start my internship. I like frequent shorter breaks. 

I'm going to start earning for the first time in my life. It's not much. But I don't care. I'm donating my first salary entirely. Need to look into where... 

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. 

Here's to family and all their complications :)!
