Well, I do have to say that the holidays were thankfully swift in passing. I was worried that my time with my dad would be difficult. I did have a bout of panic, but then I was okay. I am glad that Master was there with me to keep my composure.

I got a lot of nice presents, the big thing being a bunch of novels, all classics that I can’t wait to get into. I don’t know which one to read first, but I am sure that when I have time I can get to all of them. I finished the Kushiel’s Dart series while there and will have to get a copy of my own when I can. I thought they were excellent and portrayed a different idea of SM than I have ever read. It was fantastical and awesome.

I came home to find my old hamster had died while I was away. I will miss him, and I feel sad to not have him around anymore, but he was old. Lord Byron will forever be remembered though. He was one of a kind.

I feel sad for Master. He didn’t get anything from his family. No cards, no phone calls, no emails. It’s like he has just dropped away and they don’t acknowledge him. I don’t know what to do to help him at all with this. It has to be hard. I don’t remeber my first holiday away very well, but I know I was miserable. I just hope I can keep his mind on other things.

I have my diet to plan now that New Year is coming. I don’t know all that I am going to do, but I do have to start a punishment reward system and work on what kind of excersizes I am going to do. Master will help me plan this I’m sure. Then we just have to impliment a healthy eating plan. Well, I really hope it all works out in the end. I don’t want to be fat anymore.
