Sure, I may be writ­ing this now, but all I can think of is how busy I am, of how I should be fill­ing in my to-do board, so I can keep track of everything.

The month looks like this:

December 6th — Work Christmas Party
December 19th–21st — John vis­it­ing with Sheila
December 22nd — Hosting din­ner with Naveed and his fam­ily
December 24th — Dinner at Julie’s, then sleep­ing over at Shirley’s
December 25th — Christmas at Shirley’s
December 26th — Dinner for Julie’s birth­day
December 31st — New Year’s party at Aaron’s, then over to Pat’s

I need to go into work for a few hours in between to do some end-of-year archiv­ing, and I’m hop­ing Darren’s going to be able to come up with Arjman at some point too. Then there are all the projects I’m try­ing to fin­ish, both per­sonal and professional.

I never thought I’d have a tag for “busy”, but there you go.

I’m look­ing for­ward to the hol­i­days this year. I need the time off. I’m hop­ing to catch up on a few games, and finally breathe. I even miss vis­it­ing rel­a­tives I’d only see once a year, back when I had a fam­ily to go home to, or should I say, when I was so naive that I thought I knew what fam­ily was sup­posed to be.

And maybe that’s what I’m really wait­ing for.
