The Tree is Upright

Marcus is finally starting to get better and I've not succumbed to the nasty bug. I was feeling a lot better today myself. We got the tree up into its stand and it is all ready for lights and decorations. I came to the horrible realization that I don't have a tree topper. Mine shorted out last year and I had intended to get a new one this year. I also threw out my old two sets of multi-function lights that had been my mother's that were acting wonky and was going to get replacements this year. *sigh* At least feeling a little under the weather the last couple of days accomplished one thing—I got quite a bit of my crocheted popcorn garland completed.

I went to the graveyard today to visit my mom's grave. It is still hard to believe that she passed almost 10 years ago (1/4/97). Whenever I start decorating for Christmas, I start missing her terribly.

There's been a sudden unexpected slowdown of incoming jobs at my workplace. I only got to work two hours yesterday. I had a major meltdown on the way home. It's looking like full time there is not going to happen in the near future. I've got to find some other income sources. I'm so tired of scraping by and being a burden on Marcus.
