It’s not the presents and trimmings that make this holiday special, it’s the people that you spend it with. We don’t have a Xmas tree or decorations set up or anything. But just being here with my family is the greatest Xmas present that anybody can have. Merry Xmas everybody

O.K. Mike is outta here and I am semi-franticly packing my stuff now. I have to be at the bus station before 3pm so I still have time. But I think that I will need the time with my big ass suitcase. Can’t forget the pillow and blanket. Might actually use that crappy Centennial Village blanket that I got years ago. Plan is to dress warmly. Also need to make some sandwiches/get some snacks. So much stuff to do….

So Mike finally comes home and wakes me up to give me the rent check and it’s for the old rent price and not the new rent price. I ask him about it and he thought that we were talking about when our lease is up, then we would split the rent in half. Well, so much for saving a $100/month. **sigh** To top it off, I was pretty free with the credit card, going out to coffee with April, Brunch with Shawn/Marie. Thank God I didn’t see LOTR with Suzanne. What else did I do? Lunch for the guys for Xmas. FUCK!!!
**Sigh** I’ll have to talk to Mike tomorrow before he leaves and see if he will use our extra “bonus buck” to shave another $200 off of the rent so that I can save $100. I’ll need that money for groceries when I get back. Mike wants us to stay roommates, but I really doubt that it’s going to happen. I really need to cut my rent down; like at least $200 before utils. Basically, I need to pay what he is paying right now. **sigh** A quick search on Craigslist shows that there aren’t that many apartments for rent in the range that we would need. It would be easier to get a place on my own. Well, I am going to try and not to worry about it. I have to wake up at 8am to take my car to the warehouse. Blah. Still need to figure how to get to the Greyhound station. BART, I guess. I wonder if I still have a ticket? Can this year get any worse before it is over. Fuck, there are only 8 fucking days left. **knock on wood** Why do I have the feeling that I am going to be spending it here in S.F. home alone. O.K. I need to try to get some sleep.

Visited April in Vacaville, had coffee and good talk. She is looking good, as usual, regardless of how fat she thinks she is.
Went and visited DeeDee, a friend of April’s and a former coworker with me @ Baskin Robbins. She was looking good too; a little thick, but good. Has a real cute daughter (Kiki, if I remember correctly). Had home cooked meal of pork chops, baked chicken and melted cheese with macaroni sprinkled in. It was good. DeeDee also has good looking cousins and relatives.
Spent the night at Barry/Gabi’s. Good times with the married couple with kid(s). Traded Civ III and Max Payne for Baulder’s Gate and Alpha Centauri. Got to see Barry’s new computer; very nice and quiet. I have to get a new quiet computer.
Next day went out for Brunch with Shawn and Marie. Great seeing them again, brunched sucked @ Baker’s Square (ants in my glass of water)
Was suppose to go see LOTR:TTT with Suzanne @ company, but she changed times on me. So no go.
Decided to go back to Barry/Gabi’s for Xmas dinner with Amber/Lesa/Amanda/Tammi. Not bad for our first formal dinner.
Drove by Suzanne’s house, but she wasn’t home.
Roommate is not home. Was suppose to drive me to work tomorrow so I can park my car at warehouse. Have a dread feeling that he has left for San Diego already; Without leaving me a rent check.
Still need to pack for Greyhound.
Still need to talk to Suzanne regarding thisand this.
A big thanks to you for checking up on me and stuff. That goes out to all of my friends, but esp. to you (You know who you are).
Oh, yeah. I got presents from Amber. A cool jazz design journal and a photo album. So I think all of my Suzanne thoughts will go into the written journal cause I don’t think that they should be posted over the internet.

Mobile Horoscope – Let them know you’re here. Collaborators love to share ideas. Your part is obvious.
Yesterday was the first day that I didn’t post anything. Granted, I haven’t been posting anything earthshaking; but still, I was pretty busy yesterday. I’m also going to be busy today. Need to clean room and house and decide on laundry. Then I need to head up to Vacaville to visit people. And then tomorrow I get to see Suzanne.
**sigh** Kinda nervous about the whole deal, but it will be a good preview for Thanksgiving; us being together without being together. We talked on the phone yesterday for awhile, which was cool. It seems that we have handled this split that we have in different ways. While I have been withdrawn and introvert, she seems to have been out everywhere and extrovert. I am just nervous I guess; I really don’t want to do anything wrong and loose her forever.
O.K. I got to start cleaning if I want to get out of this house sometime today.

Slowly getting ready for the end of the year, and if work and the trip to my parents don’t kill me, it is looking kinda decent.
Talked to Mike about house issues. We are now going to split the rent down the middle, with will really help me out. We also have a schedule set up for cleaning the house and stuff. Still not sure if we will still be roommates once the lease is up. It just mainly depends if we can find a place together in our range. But that’s still months away.
Went to the library, and now I have plenty of books to read, including a book on Webcams. Not sure if it is going to help, but we’ll see. I’ll def. have plenty of time to read it on the way to Washington.
Keeping an eye on the weather report. The roads should be clear, but I am worried that something will happen and that the bus won’t be able to go over the Sierras and I’ll have to come back here to spend Xmas by myself. Or worse, I’ll get stuck in the mountains. I really should have thought about this before I got the tickets. Like I’ve been saying, I’ll def. have stories to tell about this trip.
It was so busy at work that I didn’t get a chance to finish Xmas cards. **sigh** Some people will just get them late, I guess. Better late than never. Also need to finalize plans for this weekend. Will goto Vacaville on Sat and spend the night and then head to Antioch on Sunday from there. Haven’t heard from Suzanne though. I will call her tomorrow, I guess.
The web site looks good, there are a few spots that I need to fix though. But overall, I like how it came out.
O.K need to bust out some Xmas cards
