Coffee and sun in the window...

msfledermausI'm killing time waiting for a friend in a coffee shop with Net access. There's...sun!!! Lots of sun!!! *Bask*
I also did some basking after a friend of mine and I went x-mas shopping Friday...after we had lunch and he left, I wrestled with tape and god and purple paper and ribbons in the middle of my sunny living room, and after about an hour of wrapping curled up in the middle of my floor with a pillow for a sunny nap. (For those of you who think that it's not very Gothic to take a cat-nap in the sun, read my responses to Low_Delta in my last post, where I defend my honor;) Downtime...I have really needed this, and i'm enjoying every minute of it. I waded throught two boxes of presents from my mother, and felt very loved. (and sugary--two boxes of chocolates, a stocking loaded with candy, and (brace yourself)
adult feetie pajamas in blue with polar bears and penguins on them. Do we ever get older than 12 to our parents sometimes? (it's got its good and bad sides, to be sure...feetie pajamas...)
This year I've been thinking abut a lot of the poeple I've lost over the years. (X-mas does that, doesn't it?) I've been thinking about my first stepdad,Kim, who died when I was about 9. He was a real father when my brother and I desperately needed one, and his birthday was right after mine. Now both of us are older than he ever got. I still miss him like crazy, even though it's been about 20 years. My 30th birthday's coming up, and for some reason I can't think about it without thinking about some of my friends that never made it this far, and Kim.
I think it's somehow appropriate that I'm bringing their memories with me to the age I'm going to be, like something precious, like a gift to the people they used to be. I think Kim would have liked that...
Ms Fledermaus, wishing you happy holidays in the fashions you love best....and may you be spared feetie pajamas unless you really, really want them...
