'Tis The Season

Dear friends,

I apologize for being so distant. So much has been changing in my life over the past few months. So much so, that I've had issues with dealing with everything. I will give you the highlights since I last posted on this ghost town of a blog.

Since I last posted:
- I have gone on a life changing vacation. You really have a lot of time to think while you're on a cruise. I went to Maine and two places in Canada (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick). I had an amazing time but over-indulged in the amazing food they provided.
- I got a cat!! A beautiful white kitty cat who makes home feel like home. Her name is Bliss, but i affectionately refer to her as either "Blister" or "Blistina Aguilera." I am turning in to quite the spinster.
- I have not been on a date.
- I still have no clue what I am doing with my life.

Now to the real reason for this post.
This is my first holiday season living on my own. The argument can be made that I am not technically on my own because I have roommates, but they are rarely home so it doesn't count.
I started the season strong. I went out Christmas shopping in the beginning of November and I almost have everything. I must have lost the spirit somewhere along the way, because we are now two weeks from Christmas and I feel nothing. I am not even decorating. I don't see the point.

I don't like to feel so lost around the holidays, and I don't really know how to remedy this. I can't simply will myself to be excited about something that doesn't seem like it holds any real special meaning anymore.

Maybe I am just mourning my childhood. Maybe next year will feel better.

Maybe I will just stay in bed all day with my cat. I can at least sing carols with her and she won't try to ruin my solo.

Be warned, I am a crazy cat lady in training.
