Can't wait for Christmas!

It is getting to that time again, and I'm so excited! When I was living in California, so far away from my family it was hard at this time of year. I knew I couldn't afford to go home for Christmas, so I pretended Christmas didn't exist. Now that I'm 20 miles away from my family I can't wait for Christmas! I feel like I've been waiting for 6 years for this Christmas to come. I know my family isn't ideal, and sometimes they're really terrible to me, but they're all I have. Christmastime is when the whole family just forgets that we don't get along, and we just have fun. I can't wait to start decorating the house. On the medical front, I'm having problems with my teeth again. It wakes me up at night. I can't go very long without having advil on board, they hurt so bad. I have to get something done about it soon. With no insurance, things are a lot tougher though. I worry about getting an infection that will make my blood sugar rise. My blood sugar has been behaving lately, and I'm so glad for that. I still have the ear infection, and have had blood coming out of my ear lately. It is scary, because the infection is in my right ear, my good ear. I've been on knitting overload trying to get presents done before Christmas, so my shoulders are pretty sore. I have a knitting blog, if you want to see it, it is at http://knittnchick.blogspot.com.
