interpretation

i accidentally infected brendan's computer with a virus last night :(

he was pretty upset because he's already battled 2 infections in the recent past and it was very debiltating. i was just using knitting websites, i wouldn't have thought they were danger zones. i've never had that problem before because my computer is a mac and my other computer is a highly protected work computer with firewalls and the like. i feel terrible.

well... my mom is ok. she broke her right wrist, they had to reset it twice. i honestly didn't think she'd manage that process, but they gave her some narcotics and she got thru it. the whole thing is very bizarre. she didn't think it was serious when it happened on sunday, so she went to bed, got up in the morning, had a shower, then drove to the hospital. can you imagine washing your hair or driving with a broken wrist!?!?! i don't really know how she did it. she feels kind of silly about the whole thing. they monitored her heart, but that was just the result of stress. i worry about my mom. she's super lonely and i'm sure being injured by herself was scary and unsettling. she and i don't really work the same way. i wish she'd be able to dream outside of her tunnel vision. it sometimes takes some creativity, but life can be awesome when you don't just sit and wait for something to come along and solve your problems. i'd like to see her make a move, and change something about her life. that's my prayer for her.

they've been moving the cubicles around at work. mine is staying put, but the space around me is changing. yesterday they moved a bunch of cabinets and i was showered with all sorts of natural light that i didn't know i was missing out on! and i can see the wall clock, which is great.

i'm really surprised because i'm feeling excited about christmas. i'm mostly looking forward to the time off and the time with family. but besides that, i think it helps that i'm thinking outside of my typical christmas box, and that excites me for some reason.

oh my goodness... my birthday is in one month tomorrow :S

The first year that I really thought outside my typical Christmas box was incredibly exciting. A year to remember for sure. May yours be as well.
