Saturday night’s holiday party for work went very well – better than I would have expected given the news earlier in the week. Of course, I didn’t manage to get to bed until about 1 AM…and then I had to get up five hours later for church. I’m pretty sure I was sleeping with my eyes open during the parts I wasn’t playing for, because I don’t remember any part of the mass except the music. :)
And my house is clean, and decorated! Which is good – I have a rehearsal or a concert every night this week and next, so I won’t have time to do anything else until after Christmas. Christmas knitting has fallen so far behind that it’s going to become gifts for another time, and I’m just going to break down and buy stuff for the recipients in question. I have to admit, I’m nowhere near as stressed about the holidays since making that decision, even if it is causing a little guilt… Now if I could just find more than six straight hours a night to sleep, I’d be much better off.
