A change of mind

After giving it some thought (and talking about it with Jess on msn) I've decided that I SHOULD go to Ontario with my family. Everyone's right, I should be with family during Christmas, not sitting at home by myself for a week (although I'm sure I would've spent a little time with my sister, Jonathan, Josh and my grandparents). I'll have time to hang out with friends at some point during the holidays, and chances are everyone would be too busy with family to do anything that week anyways. The other reason I decided I should go is my grandma told my mom "I wish I could see Douglas one more time". How can I stay home after hearing that? So I'll put aside my dislike of the 16 hour drive and go with my family to Fergus for a week. By going to Ontario I also get to celebrate Christmas twice, so it's not like I had any reason to complain in the first place. I can even update my blog at the library in Fergus so everyone knows what's new. Oh, and Adam, you'll have to let me know when you and Luiza will be home, so that we can plan to go see King Kong and maybe do other stuff.

Well, I'll remember it until the next time I go to Ontario. My family usually goes twice a year, so I'll likely sit out the next trip and then go again the next time they go for Christmas. And I don't know how comfortable I would've been about spending Christmas with people I've never met. I'm pretty shy and laid back. I did appreciate the offer though. I wouldn't mind hanging out other times. A bunch of us really need to do stuff during Christmas break.

And I forgot to mention this when I posted, but I got a call from Day & Ross this morning and I have a job interview tomorrow morning. Any prayer would be appreciated, as I'd love to get a job, but I'm gonna have to be honest and tell this guy about my current health issues. And it'd be nice if I'd be able to get Tuesday and Sundays off, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
