'Tis The Season
I'm still alive.
Yeah, I'm pretty surprised about it myself. I don't know how it happened, but through either sheer tenacity (and a lot of caffeine) or a simple miracle, I'm still around in as existential a sense as possible. The crowds haven't killed me yet. The endless cleaning and receiving of boxes hasn't killed me yet. Exhaustion hasn't killed me yet.
On the other hand, Mel's about ready to go homicidal the instant anyone cheerfully remarks, "Don't you just love Christmas music?"
It's exactly 2 weeks until Christmas. It's not coming soon enough. But on the plus side, I got socks from my Dad for my birthday! Yay, socks! (And on a similar note: I seriously need to do laundry tonight.)
As of the moment, I'm horribly behind on pretty much any letters, Email or missives to other people--not to mention this little bit of nowhere. My apologies for that, incidentally. I'm attempting to get to you all as soon as I can. I still need to catch up with some well-wishers (thank you Kevin & Donna...and Gabe, though he sounded more like he was eating the phone at the time), get some final bits o' Commercialmas shopping done, confer (Mike, I promise I'll Email you as soon as I can), format another chapter of an SMfic, get some decorations up and presents wrapped and oh dear God the potatoes are boiling over!!!
Um...bye!
