The season, for one. Christmas can be a stressful time of year for everyone, and its no different for those who work retail. In fact, I might dare to add that it can be even more stressful, because who wants to go back out into the crowds to do your own shopping after you've spent the day in a store, trying to help cranky customers? Tis just one of the things that becomes a fact of life if you're in retail.
The second reason: I bought a house! We closed on December 8th, and I've been busy trying to do things over there while still trying to live a semi-normal life in the apartment. Many things are packed, but some aren't, because we're still trying to "exist" as best we can. Besides, who wants stuff in the way when you're going to paint all the walls and trim? Best to leave things be, and paint the rooms empty. We accomplished a lot over the weekend; my aunt and uncle came to help on Sunday, so we did a major portion of the painting. We went back today to see how it turned out, and its pretty good! Love the colors, hate the smell. :)
School is winding down. Last week was my final for one class, Tuesday (tomorrow) is my final for my second class. Luckily, neither of the classes had tests as a final, but papers to write. And here I sit blogging rather than working on my paper... shame on me! {grin}
To tell you the truth, I plan to turn on some Christmas tunes and wrap a few gifts, just to feel like I'm getting some spirit! Otherwise, I'd be crawling into bed and snoozing, as I still need a bit of extra rest. I'm not quite back to 100%, but its getting there. If you haven't been feeling in the Christmas spirit lately, find a CD of tunes and play them, sing along even! It couldn't hurt, and it might be just the thing you need!
Holiday HUGS to everyone!!
