Ok, hopefully I’ve gotten the Xmas stress attack out of my system for this go-round of the holidays. Wires have gotten crossed every which way the last few days, with some of the results being a very nice office lamp stuck in the utility room for a couple of days and some stinky Stilton cheese on the futon (didn’t know until nearly 24 hours after it was delivered that the box contained Stilton and thus should have been refrigerated immediately). Other things too have contributed, but I think all have been resolved and I shouldn’t therefore have any more STRESS this holiday season. My quota has been fulfilled. :-)
Mailed off 75 Christmas cards this afternoon, none of which had been written at this time yesterday, so that’s a major achievement too. There are still some I’d like to send, but they’d all be new to my list this year (people I’ve met through the family history stuff, mainly) and at this point I consider them optional. That’s because I still have LOADS of presents in our closet that require wrapping, and also 3 stockings that need fringe attached with my glue gun—and I wanted to get both of those things done before Mom and Dad arrive on Sunday. Hmm, better not write too much more about that or I will get stressed again.
Just had some endorphins courtesy of my lovely husband, who received a Cocomotion as one of his Xmas presents from his parents. I get to enjoy it as well! And with homemade, all-natural marshmallows from Whole Foods in it, things are looking up.
