It’s beginning to look a lot like…

Don’t hate me because of that particular, not yet seasonally appropriate, ear worm.

I just…need to say something. Anything really. So here I am. I have written emails and text messages to everyone I can think of, and now I’m just writing to write. So bear with me, ok?

So the holidays are coming (thought I wasn’t going to mention it, didn’t you?) Thanksgiving is in a few days, then the debt-inducing holiday shopping, culminating in a manic and ultimately disappointing (maybe) Christmas morning. Or is it just me? Of the upcoming season, I like Thanksgiving the best. There’s food pressure, sure, but mostly it’s just hanging with friends and family. Which is great, if you like your family. (I mostly do.)

Otherwise, the holidays can go to hell. Seriously. Who needs all the bullshit, pressure, commercialization, elves on shelves, excessive candy, baked goods, work functions, family gifting obligations, or crushing loneliness? (ok, so maybe that last part is me, but that’s for entirely different reasons that aren’t appropriate here.)

Bah humbug and all that. Guess I’m feeling a little overwhelmed today with the thought of it all. The anxiety is starting early this year.

Oh well. and be well.
