Bitter Sweet Christmas

So another year has almost passed us all by. Today is Christmas but it feels like just another Saturday. I am really just doing this issue of the blog because it is 0220 on Xmas morning and we are going to make breakfast for Duff Mil before he goes into work today. We wanted to do something nice for him since he will miss out on breakfast and dinner today.

This has been a hard week for me and family, as not long after my Grandma passed away, 2 days ago my Grandpa did the same. It was a harsh phone call to deal with so close to Christmas. And as bad as I feel about it, and as much as it hurts for me, I can't even imagine how my old man feels, and it hurts even more when I try to think about what he must be going through. To Meat Hammer senior  this is for you.

I think that is part of why it just feels like Saturday to me. On the plus side I have an amazing family here to keep me going. Christmas eve was a great day, I saw Tron with C Bear, which was an amazing film, then exchanged Christmas gifts with the gang, and finished the night off by playing Monopoly with the family, and yes, Shanarchy is still a damn cheat! This just means when we play killer bunnies today, her ass is grass!

With the exception of Grandpa, things have been well. School is done for 2 weeks, and I passed all my classes, my GI Bill money is finally starting to come through, I almost have my truck paid off work just keeps getting better, and I have found an amazing woman to spend my free time with. And surprisingly I am taking it very slow with this one, I like where it is going.

So as it is now time to start cooking for Duff Mill, I will leave this short blog be, but stick around for my year in review. And what a crappy year it was.

RIP Grandpa Meat Hammer,
