Journal Entry for December 12, 2008 Mood
Friday, December 12, 2008

December    12th       Have not even decorated the tree yet needs to be put up.   My sister likes doing a small tree.    She bought some more ornaments for a small 4ft tree.     We have been putting up this small one for about the last 2 years.      When I was younger we use to put up a real tree.    Our home back then had high ceiling so it was easy to put up a 6 or 7 ft real tree.   Now that my back bothers me so much its much easier to to a small tree.     I finally got my father to mail out the christmas cards.    I did them slowly this year.     Had to look for some of the address to be correct before I mailed them off.     Lost touch with lots of relatives over the years.    Dont got any special plans for christmas.    Probably rent some movies is all.    We have not done that in a while.     I got the DVD/VHS  thing hooked up but now I cant figure out how to record.     I tried but it did not catch what I wanted.   I set it on channel 3 but it just is not recording.   I dont know what L1 or L2 is for??    I think that this device only records with a satelite dish kind of system.    We have cable.    We dont get that many channels only about 64.   I will figure it out.   I read these instructions and gave myself a head ache over not being able to record.     I really dont understand some of these new devices.     I think that we will be okay with this digiatal change in FEB.   Since we get cable television hook-up.     Man its times like this I wish I had been born a brain like some people.    Seems like some persons understand everything first time they are taught something.   Not me.    Hell    It took me a long time just to learn how to do long division.   Frown   My selfconfidence is nonesistant these days.    I feel like charlie brown when he tries to fly his kite.    The tree always wins and he is all twisted up in the kites tail.    That is the story of my life.     Winter is getting brutal next week a freeze is expected on Sun-Tues.    Good grief!

    I got one of the DVD/VCR things and I can't figure it out, either! lol! Guess I'll have to consult with my 14 year old nephew on that one! Hang in there; we 40-ish people have some purpose in being here! xxx

    I have not put up a tree or decorated in years. I will spend Christmas day alone this year since my daughter is not speaking to me or even acknowledging my existence in this world. If I wasn't so sick and in pain I would volunteer at the homeless shelter. The holidays can get pretty depressing when you are alone. God bless you and your family hon. I pray that you are not still depressed but if you are please see a doctor. Praying for you. Love you.

    I'm with rrowley... I have not done decorations or a tree for many years... probably since my son grew up and left home. I just don't feel it is worth all that effort when no-one but me will see them... and it is such a pain in the butt to take them down and pack them away again. I go to my sister Jan's house for lunch on Christmas day... along with my other sisters and all our assorted offspring. She does a big decorate the house thing and a tree and all that... so that is enough for me.
    Goodness... "only" 64 channels on the TV! Even with cable here there is no-where near that many channels... I can't afford it so I just get the 5 free-to-air ones. I don't spend a lot of time watching TV these days... I guess what used to be my TV time is now my DS time.
    Please try not to be so hard on yourself hun... I know it can be hard to hang on to your self-esteem when life is giving you a bit of a battering... but you are a good person and a good friend... I know that for certain.... so you need to keep reminding yourself of that!
    Sending hugs and smiles for you,
    take care... xxx
