I bought a three dollar stocking from CVS, used it as a pattern and made seven stockings for Christmas. One for each of my brothers and sisters, one for my mother, one for me and one for my brother's new girlfriend who I like a lot and who just moved in with him and said she'd be around for Christmas. Hers is the coolest. It's got black and white stripes and a pink ribbon around the top edge and has googley eyes of different sizes all along the border under the ribbon.
It took me like three days to finish all the stockings since I hand sewed them with inner linings and sewed ribbon along the top after I thought I'd finished them all, but they looked too naked. Then I wrote everyone's names on pieces of paper and pinned them to the insides of the stockings. I left some ribbon at the ends and tied that into loops to hang them in front of the fireplace.
I had a dream I went into work and called in sick from right outside the door.
I couldn't fall asleep last night, after getting into bed at nine thirty. After tossing and turning until midnight, I finally gave up, got up and made myself some eggs with tomatoes and fresh spinach and shredded cheese in them and some whole wheat toast and some peppermint tea and just had breakfast at midnight. It was delicious. After that I still didn't fall asleep until at least one in the morning, so when I woke up this morning I called into work and watched the second season of Boston Legal while finishing up my stockings and didn't get dressed until four thirty in the afternoon.
I really don't care about my job any more. I'm going to quit probably next month. I might make it all the way to the beginning of February, but I doubt it.
