I leave on Saturday, and I’ve made it my deadline for having all holiday stuff done. Because I’m a little crazy like that. But truthfully, if I have all the holiday stuff done, I can work next week without worrying about it, and hanging with my littlest niece unhindered. But I just might go crazy this week trying to get it all done.
All the anxiety has also meant that I haven’t been sleeping much. For all that my mom got me some super eye cream for Christmas, I still look like my eyeballs are having a race to see who can get to the back of my skull the fastest.
What’s weird is that I have scaled the Christmas crazy waaaaay back. I haven’t sent out cards this year – my mailing list is on the computer in storage. I’m not doing any baking – I don’t even have a cookie sheet in this kitchen. I’ve left a couple of the more difficult gifts in AB’s responsible hands.
I’m really hoping to spend most of my time in Calgary hanging with the family and relaxing. Fingers crossed.
One Year Ago Today: Granted, neither am I wound up into a tight little ball of Christmas “cheer”, so at least there’s that.
