Mondays Suck

On top of the usual holiday stress, I did not need to find out today about the major downsizing that’s going to happen in my group in the next few weeks. This sucks. Feeling sleepless. Maybe I should go knit. :P

Not Ready Yet!

How on earth did it get to be December 1st already?!? I’m not ready for the holidays yet – I’m not done with any of the stuff I’m making, or my shopping, my house is a mess, my Christmas card list is even more of a mess, and I don’t have any decorations up yet. Help!

…deep breath…

OK, I’m almost done with a couple of the things I’m making, and I’ve shortened the list of handmade items to something that might be manageable. I did go shopping on Saturday, and accomplished a lot – the mall was practically empty, and all of the stores were still running sales! The part about my house, my card list, and the decorations is all true, though. I haven’t even managed to dig out the Advent wreath from one of the eight giant rubbermaid boxes of Christmas stuff…and my vacation will be officially over in about 9 hours. Nooooooo!
