the happiest christmas of all

"oh the happiest christmas is a homecoming christmas...bright candles burning, old friends returning, the wishes of children coming true. and the happiest wishes are just old-fashioned wishes; may your days be merry and may your sorrows be small; may the ones you love be near you... that's the happiest christmas of all." --michael w. smith, what a beautiful song.

i woke up this morning, and what would you know-- yet another dream. (when will they end?) it was so... odd. i mean, it made sense, but still odd b/c of the fact that i was even having the dream. and b/c all the dreams basically follow the same patterns. hmph.

maybe not everybody feels like this, but might i say that i LOVE finals week purely b/c of the amount of sleep that i'm allowed to get during it!? getting to bed by 10 and 12 (b/c i was on duty) has really rocked. and, might i add, i love 23-hr quiet hours. ;-) some of my residents really aren't so bad when they're quiet and/or hardly ever around... hehehe...

talked w/ theresa from subway yesterday, requesting hours over break, and she called back just a few hours later to let me know i was put on the schedule for right after i get home, and soon she'll be making the next sched, and i'll be on that one too. how's that for speed, and for security of some sort! i am so thankful she's so willing to let me pick up a few hours while i'm home. and so thankful to wear those ugly purple shirts again... ;-) lol, i don't mind too much. it'll be nice to just be making a little bit of money. (and i do mean "a little bit," i kid you not... but all is well.)

"and the happiest wishes are just old-fashioned wishes, may your days be merry, and your sorrows be small, may the ones you love be near you... that's the happiest christmas of all." may it be the happiest christmas of all, for all... somehow...
