Christmas

I didn't feel well on Saturday when I went to bed. I STILL wasn't feeling well by Tuesday. I called a nurse hotline who said there was a flu/cold strain going around with the symptoms I had and the only way to get rid of it was to rest. I told him rest wasn't really an option. He told me that if I didn't rest it would take longer to go away.

I left work on Tuesday and spent the rest of the day in bed. I called in sick to the airport on the 24th and spent the day in bed. By the evening I was bored and lonely. It VERY MUCH felt like Christmas, I was VERY MUCH feeling sad that I was alone. Here is where I went wrong.

A LONG time ago, I bought Broke Back Mountain even though I had never seen it. I know lots of people who really liked it and they all assured me I would like it as well. For whatever reason, I finally decided to watch it.

The good news is that they were right, it is a GREAT MOVIE. The bad news is that it made me feel even more alone than I did before. I made the decision to wallow in my aloneness and followed it up with P.S. I Love You. Yep, I spent most of the evening sobing.

I decided that it was time for an up lifting Christmas movie and started looking to see if one was on TV. "It's a Wonderful Life" was going to be starting soon. This is another movie that I have never seen, so I decided now was a good time. Boy was I wrong.

I watched the first 15 minutes of it and turned it off. What a HORRIBLE movie! I can't BELIEVE this is a christmas classic! Someone dies, someone poisons others, a kid loses his hearing and then is beat up and they SHOW his ear bleeding and he pleads for the old man to stop hitting his hurt ear because it hurts so much! I couldn't believe it! I was pissed off and disgusted, so I turned the TV off. I then called my mother, because I was pretty sure she was home alone as well. I told her I what I had tried to watch and her comment was "It gets better." My response was, "It has to; there's no where to go but up!"

I don't remember what I put on and I went to bed because I had to work at 7am on Christmas morning.

Christmas at the airport was busier than I thought it would be. I worked a few flights, then I got sent to work at a passenger assistance counter. The counter I was at was slow, but not a big deal. I didn't get yelled at NEARLY as much as I was expecting to.

In the end it was a pretty decent day.
