So another short blog today but still eventful I suppose. I woke up at 11AM and woke to find a bag full of different chocolates on my bed from Santa. Yes I still believe in him so shush. There was Kinder Eggs, a giant Kinder Egg, a huge Kit Kat bar, little Santa chocolates, Hershey's Hugs, and a box of the Aero Bar Singles. I also got some money from my Mom and Dad since I never can pick out a gift for them to get me anymore so I just ask for money.
At noon we headed to Elgin Manor to have Christmas dinner with my grandmother and grandfather. Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, really excellent stuffing (though still nothing compared to what my aunt made Sunday) and some mixed vegetables.
After this, my parents and I headed home (with me getting to drive the convertible home which was of course really cool). We got the house a little more ready for Christmas with my Mom's side of the family and then my aunt Fiona and cousin Alex arrived. I chatted with Alex while Fiona and my parents chatted. At 2PM, the cab arrived with my grandparents (my grandmother is unfortunately in a wheelchair from now on so we had to get a ParaTransit for them) and we got them inside and comfortable.
We had a wonderful time, with me receiving a bit more money from my aunt Sandie (who arrived at 3:15PM, and then just talked until 4PM when the cab came back to get my grandparents.
After my grandparents and my aunt Sandie and her husband (my uncle) Zoli left, Fiona and Alex, my parents and I all just sat around and talked for a little bit more and then they headed home. My Mom was feeling tired so she went to bed for a while, while my Dad and I went to see Sherlock Holmes. It was a really good film, and Robert Downey Junior did a spectacular job as Holmes. I'll say it wasn't Avatar, but it was still quite good.
Once the film ended, Dad and I headed home where I packed my clothes and then watched some television and played Star Wars again.
And just so everyone knows for the main purpose of my blog, autistically the only thing that happened was that I had gotten a very beautiful card for my parents and hadn't fully read it to see it said "We pray together" and since we don't go to church or anything it kind of didn't make sense I bought a religious card. BUT the autism caused me to not let it go when my aunt Fiona brought it up. So I kept bringing it up several times until my Mom had to tell me to let it go, otherwise I probably would have kept going for a bit longer about it. But oh well, that's life for you.
So I woke up at 1:30PM and just showered and got ready for my family to arrive. I played Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 still. My family arrived and I took care of Isla and Mason for a bit, and even fed Mason for the first time me feeding a baby.
After a while, my need to have some alone time took over and so I headed downstairs and played more Star Wars. This is part of my autism, and while I know even people without autism need alone time, for me if I don't actually GET alone time, I wind up becoming very awkward and sometimes very reserved which isn't really me.
I wish I could say more happened, but it was basically a lot of family stuff, and gave my parents their gifts and a really great card I found.
So just before I blog, I just wanted to say that I apologize if my title of this post offends those of other religions. I celebrate Christmas and enjoy this song, and since today I had a Christmas dinner, it's why I'm using this title.
So I got up around 10:15AM after going to bed at 5AM due to me being sort of sick. Nothing serious, just that I was sick. When I woke up I got my shower, and then had a cup of tea while I waited for us to leave.
Around 11:30AM my parents and I picked up my grandfather and headed up to Kitchener for a visit with my aunt and cousin. We had a nice time talking, got an EB Games gift card, and had dinner. It was my favourite mashed potatoes (potatoes again, :P), great stuffing (actually....was in the bird not in a box, not that there's a problem with a box stuffing...), some turkey too. We just chatted and caught up, and then I headed with my parents and grandfather back home.
When we got near home, my mother woke me up to say I had been snoring...which was embarrassing. I then stayed awake, and when I got home I had to head right back out and pick up Chris.
I took Chris to Wendy's again, then we headed back to my house to watch the end of Harry Potter. After this I took Chris home, went home myself, studied one last time before tomorrow's exam, and that was that.
I'm a 22 year old student at King's College at the University of Western Ontario. I've been a member of students councils for the past 8 years of my life, including Communications Coordinator and Website Commissioner. I'm in Psychology at Western, and have a big passion for acting. I'd love to get into movies if I could, but for now, I'm just living life and loving my friends and the productions I'm in at school :).
