December 26th means that Christmas is officially done and we go back to normal right?

I use to really enjoy Christmas but for the last 7-8 years it has become kinda a chore. If my family were closer and did more together like we use to I am sure I would feel better about it but this year in particular was bitter sweet. I got to see Amanda and Konner a couple times and really enjoyed that, I talked to my dad online for a while and received a text or two from other folks but really the highlight of my Christmas day was getting to see our former dog "Brodie" (now named Jackson). It was really interesting to see how he has changed since Donna (Lisa's Cousin) re-homed him for us. He is so much better behaved and well adjusted. Makes me feel good that she was able to take him. It's almost  like we were just baby sitting him for her till the right time for him to go to her home. Anyways I'm glad it worked out so well and he is so happy.

Something else that happened yesterday is I was reminded that words hurt. Someone said something to me that really cut deep and I can't help but to still think about it. Was it really their feelings or just anger? I really can't tell any more, I'm sure a few years ago I wouldn't have even blinked a eye over it but for some reason lately I have felt more sensitive about things. People who knew me probably would have described me as kinda cold, I said a lot of things not caring if I hurt someone and well I guess payback is a bitch. Why do I care about it now and not then? Am I becoming a wussy? I don't know. Maybe I need to build up that wall again and just not feel anything. All I know is I did not like feeling that way at all. It's terrible to feel that pain and yet nothing is wrong to cause it. It really has twisted me up a bit.

Well anyways today I have plenty to do and I want to get some work in on another project I came up with so I gota get moving.

Happy Day after Christmas
