First, the good news - my last trip to the post office was today (and there was no line when I got there, and 10 people in line when I left!), and all 44 holiday greetings have been sent. I've also received cards from jeremiasvk, wolffepsyche, and icecat. Thank you thank you! :D I feel speckled.
I still have to get the tree done (I got a new/used tree from a friend, and while it's a pre-lit tree, some of the lights aren't working and I was going to re-string the lights, and wire them on so I'll never have to do it again, because unlike my old tree it's a fold-up design and I can leave the lights on - yay!) and wrap presents. And shop a little. And make a few things for coworkers. It's... going to be a busy weekend.
I feel like I'm falling further and further behind, even though I'm getting things done. And I feel like a total shit for bitching about anything, because I know several people who are in horrid situations, and there's nothing I can do or say to help. So I've been quiet, because I only seem to have two speeds - smart ass and invisible. And sometimes smart ass just isn't appropriate (I know, it shocked me too, but it's true). And yet I don't want to seem like an uncaring ass by not saying anything, either, so... yeah.
Those of you not doing well, my heart goes out to you, and I wish there was something I could do. Those of you doing well, thank you for your funny and happy posts. And to everyone, I wish you the best, and be careful if you go out shopping - it's a jungle out there!
