Tower Of Babel

Well, it is the morning of Christmas Eve. I woke up a bit earlier than usual this morn, lay in the bed with my arms behind my head thinking and listening for a while. The air coming in through the window is cool, birds are chirping away and the house has a tranquil quiet to it. Something that is usually present is absent…I don’t hear the hum of car engines racing down the road which runs parallel to mine in order to beat traffic….school is on holidays. Boy do I remember those days.

I get up, hit the throne and then open the room door to go to the kitchen to get the kettle going. I am greeted by the aroma of the ham that was baked last night. It taste good you see!

Going in to work shortly, I must not forget the bag with gifts to give co-workers….all female I might add. The only male got a card….and him don’t drink, so you done know. Should not be a long day today. So after we do what needs to be done with the patients, I’m basically in Christmas mode. Don’t ask me to pass the shopping plazas today, that is a definite off limits for me. Can’t tek de stress with the traffic and lack of parking spaces. Reminds me of some years back when I was dropping my helper home one Christams Eve and she wanted to get something at the supermarket, so I braved the traffic in Manor park. While waiting to get somewhere to park, I saw an argument developing between two men waiting on a parking space. It got so out of hand that I saw one pull for a firearm! At that time I said to my helper, that whatever she needed could wait…..me nuh waaan nuh stray bullet ketch me! Trus me, I love the season, but some people seem to lose it all…..I don’t know why…too much liquor??? Anybody have a logical explanation to this?

Anyway, without rambling along for much longer, let me wish for all who come here, a very Merry Christmas and all that is good for 2004. For those who have visited the site over the year and filled the comment box, thank you and keep it up. Have a irie Christmas.
