Hey guys, it is early Monday morning and I haven’t posted anything in awhile! Sorry about that, I’ve just been really busy, and things have been very hectic!!! Business has been picking up at work, and there have been some changes on the factory floor. Most notably, my coworker, that I used to work with on 3rd shift, had a violent psychotic breakdown… mid shift, around…midnight on Tuesday night, and flipped out, and walked off the job. so we’ve been reeling after that, and trying to scramble to move shifts around, and hire someone else to cover that vacant spot.

But I just wanted to write this little update, and say that I’m still alive!!! I’m still here!! I love you guys very much!

My grandma’s birthday was a couple of weeks ago and my aunts birthday was yesterday.. we’re going to go out hopefully next weekend to celebrate both of their birthdays, since we’ve gotten lots of snow the last three weeks and we’ve basically been snowed in!

Also, I have all my travel confirmation details! Everything is booked, and paid for, for both of my upcoming trips! My trip to A&G/cartooncon in about 2 weeks!!

Also my trip to Atlantic city to see Celtic Thunder on Easter weekend! Yay!

I’m quite excited for both of those, because normally I don’t get to do a lot of traveling or take a lot of vacations on my own! But I’ve made a promise to myself to be able to get out, and do things that I don’t normally do; so I’m going to live up to that promise, and get out of my comfort zone, and see where that takes me!

And speaking of Easter, i wanted to say a few things; my family is Greek, on my dad’s side, so we usually celebrate Greek Orthodox Easter. Orthodox Easter is the weekend after Christian Easter this year so we’ll be celebrating that instead because on my mom’s side, it’s just my grandmother, who is in a nursing home, and my aunt; so we’re going to bring both of them to Greek Easter instead of having two. 

I come from a very big family; and I’ve always been very lucky, because I’m very close with all of my relatives. We always would have large get togethers, big family dinners, big family parties for holidays or birthdays. We would have family dinners every week, when I was younger. Where most of us, on my mom’s side, would get together at my grandma’s house, and have dinner. So I was always very lucky to have large family gatherings and a lot of people around me.

Now that my family is dwindling and people are moving away, or getting married, having families of their own, or passing away; it’s become a lot more important to me, my sister, and my cousins, to have these family gatherings; because we enjoy having that sense of family, and support around us, and we know that not everyone has that.

We consider ourselves some of the luckiest people in the world to have that, and we will miss it when they no longer are something that our family does.

I’m sorry I don’t have a poem for tonight but I’m just not in a poetry type of mood right now.

Anyways, I hope I didn’t bore y’all too much with this. Love you pups. Stay warm out there!
