Today I had lunch with one
of my friends from the acting company, 2nd West Acting
Company. I think I've discussed this before somewhere in the blog.
However, she asked me what I was doing for Christmas. This was the
second time I was asked that this day and I have to say that I had to
report “nothing”, and that's okay. Really, World! It's not a big
deal. A kind of used to it same scenario as Thanksgiving. There's no
accessible homes that my wheelchair can accommodate (I don't know if
that came out right but I think you know what I mean). Now, even if
there were I would have difficulty getting there because I have no
means of transportation other than public transit which is not
running on the holiday. Luckily, I live in the fine year of 2019 just
ahead of the roaring 20s, all over again, and I have texting, video
chat which is really just like being there in so many ways except for
tactically speaking. And really, touch can be somewhat overrated. I'm
not sure what I'm doing for meal yet for that day but already am
getting excited. I'm thinking of ham but I also like to think of the
possibility of a nice piece of roast beef with a nice crust, mashed
potatoes and gravy and something green. There's also the joy is
something sweet as well. We'll have to see about that. But I can do
all that here at the apartments and enjoy the holiday and not
inconvenience anybody. Kids, they're all grown and they have families
of their own and now have Christmas traditions of their own and I
think that's just wonderful. Different families, different states,
blended, adopted, separated and estranged it's hard to see people
this time of year. I understand that no pressure, no pain and joy the
holiday.
As for me and my house
After I have finished with my home health person sense Christmas
falls on one of the days that I have my aid come in (with holiday pay
mind you) I will text, video text and Facebook I'm sure for a bit and
then I plan to do some holiday viewing. I would like to see
“Scrooged”, with Bill Murray. I love this version and try to
watch it each year. I've already seen Holiday Inn, but since it's
free maybe I watch it one more time or at least have the movie
running in the background as I prattle around the apartment. For
sure, however I'm going to watch The original “Die Hard” with
Bruce Willis which I feel is the best Die Hard. I may watch a couple
of the others I do have the DVDs that they're not quite as Christmasy
as the original and maybe just maybe if I have the time or the
endurance find the original “Home Alone”. I think that about
Christmas me out if I can hack that many Christmas movies.
I still plan to hit the
market for my grocery list three different kinds of potato chips,
maybe a summer sausage and extra sharp cheddar cheese. I got a new
canister of white cocoa mix and yesterday my dentist dropped off a
bottle of eggnog so I'm set. I still have significant amount of time
before I hit the market. I love this time of the year, I'm totally
excited. I have lost my Santa hat and that's really okay I do want to
be too dorky… Or creepy. I've got a few more emergency gifts to
purchase you know the kind that you have next to the door so when
people unexpectedly dropped by with gifts and such you have something
to hand them like you meant to all along. Anyway, don't any of you
worry about me I'm excited about the season, I'm set and ready to go…
Ho, Ho, Ho Merry Christmas…
