Completely spoiled

Even after spewing bitterness all year long. After using way too much profanity and being unabashedly nasty to random old people on the highway, I have to say the holidays have me feeling a tad guilty.

Frankly, those things that irritate me are really minor, in the scheme of the planet. And, my use of profanity is more or less the verbal equivalent of beating my chest. And, if the old people I scream at on the highway can't hear me . . . . is it really so awful?

I made out like charlie sheen over the holidays. Humans from all over sent me lovely little remembrances. I took a fantastic trip with the Chick. I got several bottles of boozy drink. I have plenty of smelly-good soap for the coming year. And, I got to spend several quiet days with the humans I love most.

It was a good Christmas. Given the state of things, it might be the last of this sort (time being the bastard that it is) . . . and I'm glad I could take some time to appreciate it while I have it.

Now, on to spewing more bitterness at my mandatory work meeting tomorrow. And, I'll have to get around to thinking up some sort of resolution for the new year.
