Joyous Yuletide Season and Happy New Year folks.
Let me just say, being sick over the holidays sucks! I am having a bad couple of days, perfectly timed to interfere with Yule (that's Christmas for Neo-Pagans) and my wife's birthday. I'm pretty good when I first wake up, but I've burned out by 10am yesterday and today.
I think I can lay part of the blame of the weather. My body is never happy when the weather does sudden, drastic changes and we went from 20's and 30's to 60's and 70's in the past few days. Seriously, 70 on Christmas? I hate this.
I should also lay part of the blame at my own feet. I've been pushing myself again (anyone sensing a theme here?). I have this idea that I can/should/need to be well enough to go back to work at least part time next mouth (which is to say next week) so I've been driving myself to prove it. I'll give you three guesses how successful that's been.
So, I feel rotten physically. I feel rotten because I can't enjoy the holidays. I feel rotten because I can't make the holidays special for my family or her birthday special for my wife. I feel rotten because I want to be better enough to get back to work (and I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose my job soon if I don't) and I'm really not.
Also, anyone who absolutely promises you that your mail order gifts will arrive by Christmas is lying, either to you or themselves.
In short, this hasn't been the best'est winter holiday season ever... but in fairness, it hasn't been completely horrible.
