christmassy bullshit

[chickentimeschickenways]

Yesterday was a day of rumination, which does not bode well for exciting blogging. 

 

In the morning, I bought a little bag of fancy white chocolate disks at the coffee shop/baking supply store to finish off one of my friend's Christmas presents (she already has a little bundle of knitting stuff and a sticker). On Monday I plan to go to the post office and buy an array of small boxes in which I can mail away Christmas presents. On Tuesday I plan to stop at the Christmas Tree Store (??? they do not have these in Iowa) on my way home from work and investigate the possibility of wrapping paper and ribbons. I still need to acquire my dad's gift, half of my maternal grandma's gift, my nephew's gift, one friend's gift, small things for one aunt and another friend, and make three other gifts (pastries and a Christmas card design). 

 

I do not like that my whole life is currently consumed by this nonsense, but it will be over soon, and hopefully next December I will have more money and less anxiety so it will be less of a situation.

 

I've been late to work A LOT recently -- never extravagantly so, but two days ago I was ten minutes late and yesterday I was thirteen minutes late. A coworker informed me that "this will catch up to me." I am feeling a bit grim about this.

I'm sorry things are stressful at the moment. I hope things look up soon x

Thanks very much! They're already looking up from last month, so I have some optimism for the month after. I do sort of have a Plan For Stress Reduction, but right now it's just a random assortment of ideas that aren't in order. . .

I'm glad things are trending upwards. Having a plan is good, even if it's a bit disjointed. I should probably make myself a Plan for next semester...
