Day Eight.

    I feel like today went by really fast, but I got a lot accomplished and had a good night with my sisters. The day at work went by at a nice, steady rate as well and I learned a lot about some new technology we are going to be using. When I got done work I had a few errands to run including picking up some water and wine for the dinner. When I got home I had time to put a small load of laundry in and get in the shower. I felt bad because my twin sister showed up when I had just finished my shower but I still had laundry to work on. She was really sweet and did all the prep work for the dinner while I finished up my chores. I think she knew that I was going to be busy later on cleaning up the kitchen and dishes so she wanted to give me a hand.
    I tried to be good about not obsessing too much over the dishes because I wanted to enjoy some quality time with my sisters who I don't get to see much. It worked out pretty well because when the conversation got depressing, because we were talking about the Holiday's, I was keeping busy and staying out of things. The reason the conversation got so depressing was because apparently my Mother wants to retreat to her winter dwellings for Christmas, which just won't work out for my schedule and it's not very convenient for us all to travel to see her. At least two of my sisters will be going down there, but that means that I might not see them on Christmas, which to me is extremely sad.  I am very traditional and I like to spend the Holiday's with my family who I love, but I guess I have to realize that things are changing and we are all grown up now with our own lives and it's not as easy getting together. I did try not to be too obsessive about washing the dishes, but my hands look pretty dry so I definitely have to make sure to put cream on them before bed tonight. It's amazing how well a good hand cream works when you put it on overnight.
    I am getting a bit stressed about going away this weekend, but I am looking forward to spending time with my boyfriend. I feel like I have barely seen him this week and I love road tripping with him. It just dawned on me that I don't think I've mentioned my dog yet, but I have a Yorkshire Terrier who is just the sweetest little thing....she is falling asleep on my sisters leg next to me. I think she wants to go to bed and I am getting a bit tired too. With that said, I have to go to bed.
