Christmas kinda sucked this year.

Well Christmas sucked. My aunt Sherryl died on December 26th sometime around 11p.m. We all did manage to go out and see her, and thankfully for my mom, Uncle Kevin and my grandma, they had a chance to talk with her while she was fully able to carry a conversation. This was on December 23rd I believe. My mom was able to talk to her and she was sitting up and interacting very well. We went out there 2 days later on Christmas day and it was almost as if she had died already. She was laying in her hospital bed they placed in the livingroom, with her eyes rolled into her head, and her mouth wide open. She was no longer able to sit up, interact, or do anything. It was a drastic change for my mom and grandma. When I went on x-mas day, it was too late for me to tell her Sorry. I went to her bedside, held her arm and felt how warm she was. She opened her eyes and looked at me and reached out, and I kept saying i’m sorry. I never got a chance to hear “It’s ok”, and that’s the part I regret the most. At least my grandma resolved things, but it’s a shame it was on her death bed. There was no reason for all of this, and the only one at fault is my Aunt Jan. She is the hateful witch of the family that caused all of this. I really do miss my aunt Sherryl, as we were starting to get quite close before all this nonsense happened 5 years ago.

Other than that destroying everyone’s holidays, Christmas itself went fine. Chris opened lots of gifts and and he has really enjoyed everything he received. Santa was good to everyone this year.

I just went to the bookstore at the college and picked up my next set of books. This time it cost me $225.00. But the smart person inside of me took them home, and bought them online and saved another $100. I got all my books for like $125. The college bookstore rips you off so bad it’s pathetic. I wish WCCC would post what materials you need for a class ahead of time. That aggrevates me the most about them. Grrr. If they’d only do that, they’d spare me the wasted time of buying books just to return them within a week.

Lets see… weight wise. I’m now down to 259, and getting smaller. I have 9 pounds left to go until I get to my goal of 50lbs loss by 6 months out. I have 3 weeks left until that point, and I think I can do it. The next 50 will be even harder, but I know that by my 1 year anniversary I will be 100lbs smaller!

I have to go to the secretary of state becuase the stupid person in me forgot to renew their drivers license when it expired in October!! I was having drinks with my friend and sister the other day when the waiter let me know that it was expired. For the life of me I could have swore I renewed it! I must make sure my hair looks good for the new picture….!!
