Here I sit.
In my ice cold, lonely apartment.
5 pairs of socks on + the Uggs
Sweats and wrapped in 2 blankets
all by myself.
bored.
I just got back from spending the holiday at home. I wouldn't be here if i didn't have to work tomorrow morning. Yep. Good ol black friday. Fortunately it should pretty entertaining to watch greedy mad shoppers from the pharmacy. It shouldn't be too busy.
We haven't had the heat on since everyone has been gone. Which was yesterday morning mind you. And it is an ice chamber in here. And that is saying something. If you know me, I am rarely cold. I am usually the one that my roommates are yelling at because I turn on the AC when it is freezing outside. I like sleeping when it is nice and cold and i get to wrap up in my covers. It feels nice. I can't sleep when it is too hot. But tonight is another story... Tonight i am PLEADING for warmth. I am tempted to go drive around in my car just to feel some heat.
On the other hand. Today (up until now) has been perfect. I was so lucky to go home last night and spend some time with my family. I haven't been home in almost 2 months and it was a much needed trip. I wish I could've stayed longer.
Thanksgiving is such a peaceful day. I've been thinking a lot about what I am grateful for, so here is a little list...
