Hoping To Go

My sleeping pattern has been very erratic lately.  I suspect that it has something to do with the upcoming holiday. Being that I lost my father only four months ago, I must admit I have been low most of the time. If you remember, I have taken Ambien a few weeks after his passing because sleep didn’t come easy. I feel the same way again. I find myself tossing and turning for hours and finally fall asleep.

Now, I’m thinking about going home for the holidays but my husband has only a couple of vacation days left. Where did that 5 weeks of his vacation days go? I wish he has more time off. He has not experienced Christmas in the Philippines yet, and I’m sure he will love it. Going alone is definitely not an option. I guess, this is pretty impossible unless he is willing to be left behind. If he does, you’ll be sure to find me on the next available flight that I can book. It’s been 10 years of spending Christmas away from home. I think, this year will be the perfect time to celebrate the Pinoy way once again – - if I go, that is.
