It's X-Mas?

Today is really just another day for me. This year, X-Mas isn't about the actual day, it's just about when it happens, and it's not happening today. Ian invited me to go along with him and his wife to her mother's house, but I declined the offer. Even though I know I wouldn't be, I still feel like I was intruding on their families time together. I'd just feel out of place and I don't want to feel that way. Besides, I need to spend time with Leeloo, but I don't feel that she's appreciating our time together enough. She's been abusing me all day; just biting and clawing and being the little monster that she is. I get no respect from that cat.
So today I'll just busy myself with reading, journaling and cleaning up. Emily left the place in a bit of a mess and it's annoying me.
But yeah, just another day. At least I don't have to work today. The past couple of days at Target have been crazy with all the people coming in. Yesterday, some customer bonked me right in the head with wrapping paper when I wasn't looking . Surprised, I looked at him and he had this huge smile on his face and said, "Merry X-Mas!" On the 23rd, I had to close at Target and we didn't get out of there until 2:15 a.m. That was such "fun", especially when I thought that I wasn't closing that night. What a "lovely" surprise that was. Heehee, it was kind of funny though yesterday at Target. I was just being so cynical. When people asked how I was doing, I'd hesitate a little and then say, "Could be better, I could be at home." I felt like a cynical little elf. One guy asked if I was working hard. My response: "Oh yeah, it's pretty hard just standing here and passing things across a scanner."
So yeah...Merry X-Mas to whoever is celebrating it today. And for Josh, I'll take back my Merry X-Mas (I don't want to annoy you in my "religious assumptions.") : ) And Merry X-Mas to me in a few days.
