Its December 9th...and its really sinking in that I am really behind the ball on this whole Christmas thing. I was working on entering things into the database at work today and I kept typing "Christmas" instead of "Chris". *sigh* even my subconscious is stressed out....so today at lunch I hopped in the car, drove across town and on a mission to surprise Dan with a fresh wreath. Store one, no wreath...store two wreath, and by the time I was finished I had just enough time to drive back across town, find that my ninja puppy had escaped once again (apparently he is a climber), re-engineered his containment and got finished JUST in time to watch him take a poo by the door, which was of course exactly ten minutes before my super important teleconference with an unnamed big oil company and other state and federal agencies. *sigh...again* But I made it!
I will say today I started out kinda bummed out, stressed and frustrated, and then I had pretty constant stream of great talks with friends, family and lets be honest, I even had some good talks with the dog. Thank you everyone, whether you knew it at the time or not...all of you brought quite a bit of joy to this Christmas-procrastinator.
p.s. I didn't get to give Kepler his first bath yet (I told a few people this was on my agenda tonight)...there was painting going on in the garage and the last thing we needed was a soapy puppy in the paint can. This weekend however will be the epic first bath in the sink more on that to follow.
