I'm sorry Toddson. Losing a parent is hard. And I'm sorry your sister isn't managing her grief or feelings better. I wish I had more than just comforting words to offer, but I've found in the hard times there's no way around it but to go through it.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2014: so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye...
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.
Buh bye, 2014.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm so sorry about your mom, Todd. And about your sister.
Could you appeal to your boss' boss, and suggest s/he sit down and explain how the necessities of working in the electronic age mandate learning how to do that in order to continue being employed?
It's a horrible year. And I hope 2015 is a better one.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I am sending small, multiple mailings to my giftee. I am taking small nibbles from this holiday, so as not to drive myself crazy.
Who am I kidding. The crazy train left the station ages ago.

Our wings are not tired.
I have my package in the car to go to the post office today. Woo!
This and a tiny package for my SIL and bestee are all I have done. Guess I should get on that.
The house is decorated inside. The tree is done and this that and the other around the rest of the house.

I have had no time for shopping and probably won't until next weekend. Sorry, giftee!!

I am sorry for Buffistas who have had a bad and rough year. May 2015 bring ease and love and health to you.
I am behind schedule too, but I picked what I wanted to give my giftee today. I hope they'll like it too, and that this year, the package will arrive. Will mail it on Sunday, so it should be there before New Year.
