annual december rant

yea its that month that i'm just trying to make it thru again. made all the more enjoyable by finally facing up to the irony of my life nowadays. the traveler has a dog that doesnt travel. not well anyway. as if mom scheduling the family xmas gathering 5 days before xmas isnt bubble bursting enough, it turns out my one faithful and trusty companion that i bring to the gathering of little nuclear families gets car sick. so add to the event the stress of a 4-hour journey in atlanta holiday traffic with a sick dog. boy could i use a f*&$ing massage about right now. no worries, i'll have plenty of time to schedule one if anybody is open this week b/c i have nothing else to do for the next 5 days. peace and joy everybody.
