I haven't done any of the Holiday baking I wanted and I have more shopping to do and I need to mail. I am usually more on top of things. The grump is strong.

This is me too. Only my grump has been significantly abated. In looking for reasons, I am tempted to point towards the increase in hugs at the reunion, as supposedly every touch or hug gives you a hit of oxytocin.

Homemade prezzies are the best, Kat, but I understand how the stress that motivated the making can make them less fun to give.

I made some cookies. I also ate too many in their various forms: partly made dough, dough, baked and baked with glaze.

Oh man, Kat. That all sounds frustrating and exhausting. Though I'm kind of jealous of the baking. I told my sister we have to do a lot of baking when I get to her place.

I'm also looking forward to downtime, and am contemplating changing my plane ticket--on the one hand, I want to spend time with my BFF after the wedding (they're going to a cabin in he woods with a bunch of friends and I said I'd go), on the other hand, I could go be at HOME for a few days. Torn.

Feh. Well, I'll be rooting for the Saints to make an AMAZING comeback.

Worked for Green Bay, anyway.

Come home and mac has of course done NOTHING except sit and watch tv. food still out from last night, dishes out. I remind him that he needs to practice trombone and clean up.

I know it's a pain and you don't need one. more. thing. right now, but it makes me smile to see him do such normal annoying teenage boy shit.

Yeah, Trudy. It is kinda an amazing place to be able to be annoyed with him for this stuff. Especially since it is only occurring because HE CAN AND WILL STAY BY HIMSELF NOW and not freak out like a mammal. He still demands hugs and snuggles most night too, so really, we are in a good place. It is just every little thing right now.

I told a guy at the office today, I am mad at everything, I am at the point of saying "Fuck You, air". SO, there is that. I am trying deep breathing and mindful awareness of thought and lots of other hippy dippy brain sciency things to make me less of an ogre. we'll see.

I wish you co-operative neurotransmitters, msbelle, and co-operative co-workers.

and I just walked into a door, you know the side edge of it. Right in the head. that is gonna leave a mark.

Someone should go buy mega millions tickets and start working on this Buffista retirement fund thing.

I am so exhausted from our Xmas weekend and the driving--I really wish I could have stayed in bed today. But now I'm done with Xmas for the year. I'm telling myself I just have to make it to Solstice--then I will have two weeks with days off and the days will start getting longer.

Oh yeah--and bonus Doctor Who Xmas special.

I thought I was having a good morning, until I went to get the carton of eggs out of the fridge and dropped it.

On the plus side, I guess I know what I'm having for breakfast and lunch?
