Schedule woes
We are getting the days off we wanted for traveling to Mississippi, for which I am glad. However, I don't seem to have any other days grouped together for going to my Mama's during the Christmas holidays. I'm going to have to see if I can do something to change that. Trade days with someone, maybe.
We also are scheduled to work Christmas Eve. Brandon said I didn't have to if I don't want to but he's going to. I may not, but I really don't want to be alone here on that day, either.
Elizabeth, Josh, Brandon, and I will be going to eat out at the Chinese place on Christmas. It's our tradition. Kevin may join us. I don't know yet what his plans are, but he's welcome to come.
As Christmas draws ever closer, I'm finding it harder and harder to reap much joy from the music or the decorations. This time last year I was caring for Danny. We went to eat Thanksgiving dinner at my oldest daughter's house, and that was pretty much his last real trip from home other than for chemo.

I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. The holidays are so hard after you have lost a loved one. It is made all the harder when you lose them around the holidays. I lost my Dad 3 years ago right before Thanksgiving. This was his favorite time of the year and I don't think it will ever be as joyful as it once was.

I think if I can get over this holiday hump and into the new year, I might make it. This first year has just been the very hardest year of my life without him.
