Year's coming to a close for me - last day at the office today, sone wrap up from home tomorrow and our bigass company Christmas party on Friday. Everyone can bring along their +1's, there's a hotel booked for all of us and we're supposedly dining on a boat with plenty of booze.

I asked my RPS to save the date a long time ago. She also went along to our little family weekend last week - my parents are married for 30 years so we spent the weekend on a cold and windy island in December, because why not. It was great, we played some board games and the dogs got to go to the beach for the first time. Gf and I had one of those precious talk-until-3AM-nights-talking-about-what matters that life sometimes gifts me with. Through no fault of her own, it was the first time sister got to meet my girlfriend. They went along well with each other and I feel all the happier because of it.

I for one am looking forward to Christmas. For both of us it's our first Christmas with someone, so it feels extra special. And I can rent an electric car through work for cheapsies so it's gonna be like a mini electric roadtrip those Christmas days.
