And Now, Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Christmas Obsessing


Wherein Our Heroine Reaches a Tipping Point.

We have received a lot of packages in the last few days. We have yet to get ours sent out. This is, in common parlance, a Problem.

I am often early. When in school, I was often the first person out of an exam. I tended to write papers before their due date. These days, I arrive early to meetings or interviews. However, there is a really fine line between early and Very Late Indeed. Having a worldview that supports the notion that I am a person who arrives early, hands things in before they are due, etc. can also be a problem. Yes, it is true 90% of the time. But when it is not true, it is a rude shock to me and everyone else. That worldview gives you a false sense of security, you see.

So, this weekend there is a boatload to do. John and I have to wrap everything, I have a class to teach, and we have to get everything sent out. Despite having broken out the Christmas music right after Thanksgiving, I have the uncomfortable feeling that the holiday has snuck up on me.

I like my holidays out there in the open, where I can keep my eye on them, and I like my deadlines met. So I will wish you all a very happy weekend.
