Wrap up of the wrap up!

I got my record player. Something in the crickle cracking of it spinning it's endless circle of old decaying records fills with the biggest smile ever. My sister Beezus is to receive full credit for this grin. Possibly my most favored gift of the year because I asked for it, and a very specific record. One that made her go fucking apeshit when we were young, because I wouldn't stop playing it, and more so because I knew it was making her apeshit. Nice make up gesture.

I've played some Sabbath, Abbey Road and .... for an old friend, Bob Seger's Against the Wind because only he would ever know why it matters so much and makes me cry.

Hearing it, my 33 record on the player, scratching as it sang to me, I admit to having broken down in a way that is beyond history. I smile as I cry, that's a hard thing to explain and something I keep to self. Many times we sang it is all.

I asked for a few things his year. All were old ass toys I missed. I was not given a sit and spin but my neice was and I found myself ripping the box out of the hands of an infant, then collecting myself and claiming I just wanted to put it together. Bullshit, we all know I wanted to ride it!

Simon opened his presents too. Delilah just ate hers. I have SERIOUSLY never caught this little docile dog look so carnivorous in my life! Is he eating his own tongue or warming up for the kill?

Much nicer. Less hungry.

Mr. Morgan was mistakingly given a present meant for another /cough, child, and enjoyed it before it was taken from him.

The holidays were exhausting and I plan to show up quite much the zombie tomorrow, although I will bathe first, it's much needed.

Don't miss below for the stocking hop post, it was a grand success. Cheers loves.

"Wish I didn't know know what I didn't know then. The years rolled slowly past, I found myself alone, surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends, found myself further and further from my home. Against the wind....."

I'm older now... but still running against the wind.
