And so it begins................the putting up of the tree, the hanging of the garland, the pulling out of the boxes. Do I have enough lights? Where did I put the extra bulb "thingys" that I say I'm going to save every year when the strands go out? Damn why didn't I take the time to wrap these lights up nice and neat last year? Oh wait I remember because I was sick to death of the holiday season by the time I packed this crap away last time. Tis the season to be jolly!
Right in the midst of decorating I had to contend with getting my heater fixed (two trips from the heater guy not one - BONUS FOR ME) and just for extra fun, plumbing problems in my basement. I swear to God this house it cursed. I owe it all to a certain person who said, "Oh don't pay to have your house inspected, you're dating me and I will look at everything and whatever issues you are having I will take care of. Then of course I will tell you once you are two weeks into the new house that I'm leaving your sorry butt for another girl!" Valuable lesson ladies, never listen to a man when it comes to something you're solely putting your name on. He is in a new house that he can of course take care of because he is the handiest man I know and I'm in the cursed house with no one to help me fix it. Lovely and at holiday time but am I bitter? No not at all, I'm filled with holiday joy just for him!
Anyway, my tree is up and my house is decorated but I'm flat broke and about to be even more broke with plumbing issues. Happy Holidays to me!
