Last Minute Chaos
December 20th, 2005 by HeadMistress Jade
Well, I got a call from my older sister last night; she is coming up from the Maritimes to visit her best friend for Christmas. Her husband is a trucker and she is getting a lift from him for most of the way to Montreal.
I just got a call from her that he will only be able to bring her as far as Boucherville (almost an hour from my home), so I’ll have to go pick her up and bring her to my place and maybe even have to drive her up north to her friend’s place tomorrow.
Kinda puts a kink in my schedule of things I need to get done before Christmas; but hey, that’s what we do for family, don’t we?
I do feel a bit intimidated that my house is not in proper order for guests right now. I would have liked to have more warning to make it more suitable so I mentioned this to my sister and she jokingly told me “Hitchikers can’t be choosy!”
At least this way I get to spend a few hours with her; I haven’t seen her since I visited my Mom this past fall.
OK, they just phoned — I have to leave to start my drive if I hope to not be too buried in rush hour traffic for the next two hours!

Spending time with family specially this time of year is so nice, even if it is only for a short while.

Sending you virtual back “scritchies” with those nails of mine…. (grin)

Yes, tasha, I do believe that it is a wonderful thing, which is why I am so willing to drop practically everything for this last minute opportunity.
We did lots of shopping today and it reminded us so much of how we used to do shopping together when she still lived here in Montreal. We both tolerate each other so well — she needs frequent breaks for coffee and a cigarette - and I need to get off my feet everynow and again, due to my bad knees. So we do quite well with each other…
We even got to go to Chapters (major Canadian chain of huge bookstores), which was very nice as I haven’t been there for quite a few months. She found me a book on Feng Shui that I liked (it wasn’t the same as all my other ones), so she picked it up for me as part of my gifts.
I’d rather have a gift that is not a surprise and actually be something that I like and could make good use of, rather than a gift I have no real use for and is only a waste of space and/or money. Most of our family operates on the same principle, so it works well for us most of the time…
