It's raining. Summer.
I am reliably informed that there are 15 more sleeps until Christmas.
I'm still dealing with birthdays - grandson's yesterday, daughter's coming up on Monday.
I have done no Christmas shopping, neither presents or food.
I am hosting Christmas dinner this year.
Mr A has shingles. Not too badly it seems, at the moment, but even so - shingles.
I have been working full-time as a national examination centre manager for the last six weeks (finished now, thank heavens!)
Yup - it's the festive season.
Sigh.
ReplyDeleteWe have an excess of birthdays between now and the end of January too. Including at least one significant one.
All I want for Christmas is Boxing Day. The fuss is over, I can (hopefully) point hungry people at the fridge and with luck I will have a new book or two.
Good luck, and I do hope the shingles stays mild.
I agree with you - Boxing Day can't come quickly enough!
DeleteAh shingles, so painful! The holiday season seems to suddenly arrive, suddenly it's two weeks til Christmas. Gosh darn, I've done no shopping either. I hope you make it through ok.
ReplyDeleteThanks Strayer. He doesn't seem to be getting much pain, thankfully. He's a bit grumpy, though :)
DeleteOh no so sorry, I do hope you're better soon. I decided last year to take a vaccine for it and so far so good, but many folks I know not so lucky. Tis the season I so enjoy except for the weather that arrives, but thinking of all the goodness right now! It was marvelous to see you stop by my blog, I've missed you!
ReplyDeleteI know I have been an absentee lately, Karen - life has taken control and I seem to have no time to do anything fun, like visiting your blog!
DeleteIt's my husband that has the shingles, not me - and he is through the worst of it, I think.
I hope Mr. A feels better, soon!
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling...Christmas puts a lot of extra stress in delivering the goods and the big dinner...

It's sad that it's become like this. Nearly everyone I know just wants it to be over!
DeleteWell now it's the new year...speaking of which
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
