Advent

Well, it was inevitable. I found someone besides myself to pity. And a distraction. My sister is the sole breadwinner in a single income household. Her husband has been unable (for one reason or another) to work steadily for a majority of their relationship. They have no money and an almost-four year old daughter. and its christmas. And I'm stuck between wanting to offer to just flat-out give her money and knowing that would piss her off for eternity. Also, I still don't make all that much to begin with :-p

But, as horrible as this is, being able to focus on someone else's sucky life has been a welcome distraction for me. Advent is supposed to be about learning patience, to learn to wait. I am trying.
