jchrisobrien | I'm cheating

I'm pretending this is a few hours earlier, because I want to try to have an entry for every day, and since I didn't go to bed it's not Saturday yet. I finished my Christmas shopping with a CD/DVD player and Cambridge Soudworks speakers. Now I will have music in my bedroom again. I picked up some gifts for my family, and will get a few more tomorrow before I drive down to NJ for the family christmas gathering.

I must remember to call my aunt in Ga, or send her a card for the money she gave me for Christmas.

I could have gone to Shell Beach, or to a movie viewing in Allston (sorry Cayetana!) but instead I prepared myself for the trip tomorrow. The bi-yearly visit with the family. Distance really does me in, the further I am from people the less I think about them, be they friends or family. I could get all down on myself about it, but I won't.
That's just the way it is. But does it have to be that way?
