Christmas was nice.  It was a good two days of relaxing.  I decided to stay at mom and dad's last night and drive up to Albany this morning, which was a bad move.  We somehow missed that there would be a winter storm in the morning, so I had to drive back up here in it.  It was awful.  I was completely stressed out.  My car was sliding and I was super scared I was going to go off the road.  Worst snow driving weather I've ever been in.

But I got back up here and got back just in time for work.  I spent most of the day feeling jittery and tired.  When 4 rolled around I was so ready to go home, but my manager made us all stay until a little after 5.  Oh well.  More money.

My Christmas present from Chris and Lindsey was a trip to Boston this weekend.  We're going to stay the night and go to a Celtics game.  Everyone was in the surprise, even my managers since Chris and Lindsey originally thought they were going to have to leave on Friday so I would have had to leave work early, but we're leaving Saturday morning instead.  I'm excited!  I like trips.

But this news came with a little bit of very disappointing news.  Chris and Lindsey have these friends, Justin and Erin.  I don't know them very well, but they hung out and their house a lot so I got to know them a little bit.  They have two boston terriers, Lucky and Lucy that Odin likes to play with.  Lucky loved Shawn.  I have a cute picture of us sitting on the couch with all of the dogs at a party and Lucky is perched on Shawn's shoulder.

Anyway.  Justin and Erin were engaged and got married this summer.  I think in August or September, so not that long ago.  Well apparently Justin pulled a Shawn and has completely cut Erin off.  He won't talk to her and she doesn't know why.  She just said something snapped in him after they got married and now they're getting divorced.  She has already moved out of their apartment with the dogs.  He has asked her not to contact him in any way.

Well, Justin is coming with us to Boston.  Chris and Lindsey are not happy with him and he wouldn't be coming if they hadn't planned this so long ago.  They're not planning to hang out with him again after this.  I don't know how I'm going to tolerate being around him, knowing what he's doing and knowing exactly how Erin is feeling.  I guess I can be thankful I wasn't married when everything fell apart.

This is news I would like to share with Shawn.  I bet he'd be surprised to learn that they're getting divorced, but I guess he can't be too surprised since he went crazy, too.  None of what either of them did was normal.  How do they live with themselves?

So I've been thinking about Erin a lot.  Like I said, I don't know her well at all, but I always liked her and she seemed really sweet and I feel for her.

...and on that sad note, I'm going to head to bed.  At 9:00.  I super tired and I washed my sheets tonight so I'm excited about that.  My life is so sad.
