Bitter Sweet Goodbye

Well, today was my last day at Seacoast Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. It was a really bitter sweet thing, though. I thought I was ready to leave and move on, and just when I decide to do that, things start going right again, and I realize how appreciated I was there. I even got a Christmas gift from a physical therapy office that I worked with! It was so nice! Today we had our office Christmas party, they gave us all bonuses this year, and then as people were getting ready to go, they gave us all fleece jackets with the logo embroidered on! They're really nice, very comfortable! I wore mine home. I actually started crying in the car when I left, because it was starting to hit me on the way home that I wasn't just gone for the long weekend, but that I was gone! Everyone kept telling me to come back and say hi and to stay in touch. John even said that if I wanted to go back to work their, they would probably take me back. I'll see how it goes. Maybe I'll hate substitute teaching and things with the state won't work out. I've only got 39 days left to get a job with them. If things don't work out... I don't know. I'll just have to start taking everything one day at a time.

On a much happier note - tomorrow is Christmas eve! I can't believe it! I'm excited for the holiday, but at the same time, I don't really feel it this year. Like, I know I've been hearing the music and shopping and wrapping and hearing the stories read at church, but for some reason, it's just not the same. I think part of it may be that John and I are going to a wedding tomorrow at 4pm, which should be lovely! It's Sarah's mom, who's my moms best friend, and we're really happy for her. I think what the problem is is that my parents forget that we're coming for Christmas too, not just for the wedding. Every time I talk to them, they're like "Oh, we'll see you in time for the wedding!" "Oh - [this] about the wedding" "Oh, [that] about the wedding!" And Sarah, I know you're going to see this, so I just want you to know, I'm REALLY not complaining about your moms wedding - I think it will be great and I'm so happy for her! I think what it is though, is that we're not having a Christmas dinner with the family, and my parents have forgotten that Sunday is Christmas.

ANYWAY... I digress. I guess that's about all I have to talk about - I'll update again after the holiday(s), and we'll go from there.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
