Lemon Meringue Pie & A Pychotherapist

I have had a considerable amount of roommates now in my life and I have found I can live with very few. I am OCD, Moody, Grouchy in the am, and a introvert at home. I like my space, I like to read paint, I enjoy my spare time. I also love company, but I don't need it. It seems with Vancouver's rising cost of living one cant get by without a roommate, part of why I moved away. I had a handful of boarders, some good, some bad. One bi polar one woke me at 3am stating my cat was in the rafters and if I did not deal with it she would punch my cat. To my horror she punched my cat.

So this is Christmas and what have you done, Another year over, a new one just begun. And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun,  The near and the dear ones, the old and the young. A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one without any fears. And so this is Christmas for weak and for strong, The rich and the poor ones, the road is so long. And so happy Christmas for black and for white For the yellow and red ones let's stop all the fights. A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one without any fear. War is over if you want it, war is over now. Love John Lennon.  The war against Christmas in my mind is never really over every time this season comes around. The crunching of numbers to get gifts, having to haul out the deco's, having to have the house look just right for almost no guests, so you can bask in the light of the tree to feel the spirit of Christmas, its called faking it....
