twelve drummers drumming
[the twelve points of doctrine in the Apostles’ Creed]

The twelve days of Christmas are over.
Which means tomorrow is… EPIPHANY!
Or Three Kings Day, celebrating the Wise Men coming and giving gifts to baby Jesus.

To honor that celebration, I’m giving gifts to my family. Basically I’m just giving them love letters, telling everyone how cool they are. I’ll be writing those today… hopefully.

And I’ll be packing today as well.
Because I leave tomorrow.
Excited.
And sad too.

I am sick.
Oh bugger.

I took a bath to help me feel better.
I haven’t taken one in years.
But it was nice and hot and full of bubbles. I liked it.
And it was especially good because I was listening to sweet jams and reading Archie comics.
I did have to shower after though, since I’d been stewing in my own filth for an hour.

I don’t want to be sick.
Hopefully the healing powers of Hawaii will make me better.
