So, Christmas is in five days, the boys are home, the boys friends are over, and it’s all making me very cranky. I get cranky when there are people around all the time, being the introvert I am most of the time. While there aren’t any financial difficulties this year, thank goodness, there are those other stresses of the holidays – getting letters and packages mailed, planning get-togethers, etc. I try to keep my life pretty low-impact these days, mostly because I just haven’t felt terribly social in some time.
Ah well, a few more days and we all get back to whatever it is that passes for normal life in America these days. Of course the commercial market will be exhorting us to go to those after-Christmas sales, which I plan to completely avoid this year.
I did have some fun shopping today, though, getting new tablewear for my kitchen table. A nice patchwork, snowflake patterned red and white tablecloth, runner and some red and white stiped napkins, and some towels and a oven mitt. It’s the little things that cheer me up sometimes. And having access to my blog back, which is nice. I know nobody reads it, but it is nice to have a place to write and post.
