Crazy times lately. I am traveling this week to DC to finally meet my coworkers in person! But meanwhile work is nuts, I am still attempting to find time to see my baby horse and my old horse, and also taking care of Dad (and Mark).
Mark is supposed to go to UK for Xmas but who knows if that will happen (He leaves next week!) due to the Covid mess there. We are all boosted in this household now at least!
Just a crazy time of the year. I did finally purchase a few gifts online but some of my earlier gifts I bought, got lost by UPS sooooo not feeling very Christmasy this year. Sigh. Anyone else bah humbugging?
Anyhoo, wanted to drop in and say hi and explain my absence for another week.
We have off the week after Christmas and I NEED IT BAD to decompress. Hope everyone is having a good (HOW IS IT ALMOST half over?) December. Anyone else having shipping issues getting gifts in? Just me?
Never fear I am still reading your blogs!! Keep on writing! Thanks for sticking with me!

I’m not so much bah humbugging as I am just not really feeling Christmas. I am buying stuff to give to people, but it’s win win cause it doubles as retail therapy for me lol. I kid that I’ll have to go to AA after this (Amazon Anonymous lol) but I know it’ll fizzle out once Christmas is over. It just gives me a good excuse right now haha. I hope you’re able to do all the things tho! It’s been equally crazy over here so I feel you ❤ I look forward to reading your next update 🙂

Omg please don’t feel bad at all 💜 It seems like a hard year for everyone to be in the mood for Christmas and doesn’t make any of your frustrations around the holiday less valid 💜
I do plan to take the week after Christmas off – I know I’ll need it! I hope you have a relaxing holiday too 💜

I need that work break too. I’m definitely not in the spirit either. Just been blah for no good reason.

Lots of good retail therapy in the DC area — including the Holiday Market near the Corcoran gallery downtown, for handmade stuff made/sold by locals.

I’m glad y’all are healthy and boosted! I’m getting over a stomach bug and all the Xmas stuff is wrapped and delivered. I’m counting down the days until work is OVER

Ugh, yes, I ordered syrup from my brother’s company to give as gifts, which I had to mail some of them. Of course, that’s the package that went missing. Also, ordered Pia’s shirt for our holiday cards November first, and it’s still not here! So we have’t done pictures NOR cards yet. So behind. They might be New Year’s cards this year… Lol. I hope you have a good week to recharge after the holidays!
