Christmastime is here

First, the good news.  I heard back from the Coroner's Public Relations office.  They got the results of the autopsy and are able to release the death certificate for my brother now.  Hypertensive Cardio-something, basically his high blood pressure wore his heart out.  Even though he was doing better, I guess the damage was done.

I've been struggling a lot this season.  Between being flat out depressed over Thanksgiving and then getting sick a week ago, it's just been hard.  I listen to my Sirius radio Christmas stations in the car, and run the Primary Christmas songs we've been learning through my head.  I did manage to get all the presents wrapped and those that need shipping got shipped.  Though there's still a couple more I should probably ship. Hmm.

But- (potential spoilers)
The new Star Wars movie is out.  The Last Jedi.  I really liked it.  I need to see it again before I know exactly where to place it in my 'favorite Star Wars movies' list, but I enjoyed it quite a bit.  There's been quite the uproar on Facebook about it - apparently a lot of people didn't like it, and one of the main reasons is because it didn't meet their expectations.  Which is why I try to have as few expectations as possible when I go in to these movies.  I enjoyed it a lot, though.  Poe is my favorite, even though he basically managed to single-highhandedly destroy the Rebellion through his hubris.  Oops, that was probably a spoiler.  He was still adorable.  Rey was really good, and there's this lightsaber fight between her and Kylo Ren that was so awesome.

So that's my update.  I go to Glen's for Christmas this year, so I'm just counting down the days and hours until I can leave.  I have NO vacation time left so I really can't leave early. :(
