Happy New Year!
Ah, neglect. I'll do this one in timeline form:
December 22 - Got off work, went home, and got a little drunk. Not too drunk though. Went downtown, which was kinda disappointing.
December 23 - Picked up sister and brother-in-law at the airport. Nixed the idea of making pasta, on the grounds that it's a big hassle. Got Chinese food instead. Wined and dined at my place which was a hoot. Went to the Duke with sister and got plastered. Won $8 on the VLT and promptly called everyone and bragged about it.
December 24 - Christmas Eve at Mom's house. Big ol' drop-in affair -- it was good to see family and friends I hadn't seen in a while, including Clayton, the dirty old man archetype. Went to the midnight service, which was shorter than usual.
December 25 - Christmas Day. Lots of cool swag. Awesome turkey dinner, followed by an intense game of Pictionary with the family.
December 26 - Boxing Day. Tried to watch world juniors, but instead spent the day in the emergency room with neck spasms. Just brutal.
December 27 - Neck pain abates after a lengthy sleep-in. Had supper at the Celtic Hearth with the guys. Watched a period of hockey at the Duke and then headed to the peelers.
December 28 - Sam's stag party. Didn't really amount to much, and I'm glad I got my peeler fix the night before. Lotsa free booze though, and I got to see a lot of old friends, so no complaints.
December 29 - Woke up to a frozen pipe. Nice. Mr. Rooter tried to charge me $250 to thaw it. Told him to fuck off. James and Paul swung by, then headed to Richard's Christmas party, followed by another "party" on Gambier, then to Hanz and Leigh's for pizza and some TV.
December 30 - Woke up to another frozen pipe. Declared 2006 the Year of Frozen Pipes. Got one of them thawed with no damage (thank God). Went to Sam and Meg's wedding, which was fantastic. Found myself in possession of many drink tickets, which were put to good use.
December 31 - Thawed out last pipe with no damage (thank God). Nursed hangover at Bagel Cafe with other wedding victims. New Year's Eve party out in CBS. Very nice house, very drunk Dave. Good, good times. Eventually got home at 5:00am.
January 1 - Slept in till 2pm. Went to Aunt's house for dinner. Chewed the fat with mudder until 12:30.
January 2 - Facing the music at work. Wrote long blog entry.
All in all, not a bad break. Not tremendously relaxing though, with the neck and pipes and such. I feel like I could use another week off, but that'll have to wait...
