… which … are completely irrelevant.

In an hour and a half eight minutes, I’ll be departing for the airport to go through all the processes necessary to board a plane to Alabama to spend today through January 2nd back home with my family. Luckily, with the blizzard and such that came through and all of the other conditions involved, our flight is apparently not receiving any kind of huge delay. After the amount of money that we spent on the tickets, I was starting to get a little moody, because I wasn’t able to get in touch with the airport to verify the flight times until sometime around 2 AM.

Last month, I posted an entry that mentioned how I’ve never been a spiritual or religious person and how that’s slowly been changing. I’ve been drafting an entry as a follow-up to that for a good while now, and it’s just about finished. I’ve been keeping it on the back burner, because this is something I’d like to sit down and talk with my mother about first, rather than her have the opportunity to read / hear about through my blog, so expect that to show up sometime after Christmas. But, as a hint, Christmas Eve will be my first (voluntary) return to Church in quite some time.

Ten days ago, I posted a Daily Thought related to Success. As a follow-up to that, I’d like to say that, as of right now, I’m measuring success in happiness. And you’d be hard-pressed to find a time in my life where I was happier than I am, right now. I’m sure most of you could easily guess why, too.

Last night was the Company Christmas Party, and after a bit of a run-around to try and figure out how we were getting there, we finally got things settled. My car is still buried in the snow, so that along with the fact that 1. we have no shovel or ice scraper; and 2. being from Alabama, I have no experience driving in these conditions, I thought it would be best for our general safety if we rode with someone to the party. Quick apology to Sean: I know you were looking forward to coming with us, but if it wasn’t for the blizzard, I would’ve come and picked you up myself. We ended up riding with John and got to the party a little late, as it is. Have to say that I had a good time, though.

I haven’t been to sleep, yet. Hopefully, I’ll get to sleep on the flight … If not, there’s a bed waiting for me in Alabama. I’ll just have to use it prior to playing around on the trumpet, instead of the other way around. I need to go splash some water on my face and freshen up a bit before we head out … Not to mention someone’s expecting a phone call, but I’d like to let her sleep as long as possible, since we’re having to leave two hours earlier than we originally planned.

Next entry will be from Alabama …
