What’s been going on? I lost the last couple of days because of being too drunk (and hungover) and being too full of dread and anxiety. Ugh.

The drunk part was mostly fun. Glenn and Stephen hosted their annual holiday party this past Saturday and the food and wine flowed a little too freely. I really do need to learn some self control measures. I don’t have to drink every day, but when I do drink, I have a hard time knowing when to stop. Needless to say, Sunday morning was a bit rough.

But, apparently, my brain was not fully satisfied with just being hung over. By Sunday afternoon I was feeling lots of generalized dread/anxiety. I really hate it. There never seems to be anything specific that fuels it. I just get this intense feeling that something bad is going going to happen but I don’t know what. Everything seems tinged with darkness around the edges. It’s a pretty yucky way to feel. Yesterday was somewhat better and today is even a little better. It usually takes several days to fully shake it.

Anyhoo.

Also over the weekend, I bought myself a fancy new carry-on/backpack for the trip to Toronto. I did not obsess for at least a week about making this purchase. The first test at packing it went pretty well and I think I should be able to get all the stuff I want to take with me in it. But I really do need to try over packing it just to see exactly how much stuff I can cram in it. Yay, travel.

The Christmas season is fully underway. We put up the Christmas tree on Sunday. Christmas presents are slowly filtering into the house. I need to get off my ass and get some wrapped and under said tree this afternoon. The egg nog I made over Thanksgiving is now ready to drink. Yum!

And … they are calling for snow this weekend! Yay. Right now the forecast is very up in the air about the amount of white stuff we will get. That should be more in focus in the next few days. Hopefully it will hold off until Saturday evening as we have a board game double date for Saturday afternoon. Whee!
