Making It Up As I Go Along #446

Christmas Time
Christmas time is here again.
And home again am I.
The lumpiness of my hometown
Is as a mighty sigh.

Hills add texture to the land.
Compared, Ottawa is two demensions
Back home I walk all day long
With no fear or apprehensions.

In the distance is Signal Hill.
A beacon for downtown.
It’s seen from anywhere you stand
Unless the fog comes down.

The fog it made our flight a fright
We landed here quite blind.
Only seconds stood between breakout
Until on hard earth ourselves we did find.

Rain and wind did greet us here.
We left the frozen snow.
It’s nice to find the green green land.
Back there I won’t want to go.



TUESDAY…
--- Had one of those nights when I dream about not being able to sleep. So I have no idea how much sleep I actually got last night… but make it through the day at work alright either way.

WEDNESDAY…
--- Work is a fairly ordinary yet long event.
--- Some evening TV. Up until 3ish.

THURSDAY…
--- Up at 11:00. Last full night’s sleep in a while I think.
--- Work through the night then home for a shower….

FRIDAY…
--- After shower, it’s back to work to meet Paula and Eddie and hit the airport. Fly home… my eyes close as much as remain open but sleep is flighting. In by 4:00 NF time and have been up more than 24 hours.
--- By 8:30, I’m pretty much done. Gone to bed after 28 hours straight up… and 31 of 32 hours.

SATURDAY…
--- Merry Christmas.
--- I do way to well on the gift front, considering I’m typing this on my main gift.
--- Rain and fog and wind means it’s Christmas indoors. Food, drink, food, and people. Wayne, Sylvia, Wince, Brenda, Christine, Rick and family, Marlene and her man… a fine day indeed. Only downside is my inability to figure out hooking mom and dad’s Playstation to their TV. I’m useless.

SUNDAY…
--- A quiet Boxing Day. Up late, brunch with the folks, a visit from cousin Peter and wife Kelly, supper is leftovers, and end the night with A Christmas Carol on DVD. Got the Playstation set up. I almost had it yesterday, just messed up what cable port to use on the TV and Peter figured it out. A second set of eyes can make all the difference.

MONDAY…
--- Lunch and Fred’s Records with Craig. The Ship is good food and good character, Fred’s is Fred’s.
--- Supper at Wayne and Sylvia’s and then a movie on Netflix with mom and dad.
