Giving up on actually writing until after Christmas. Instead, trying to get things done and out of the way.
So I'll be behind on my book by a couple of weeks. I think it may
turn out to be a good thing. I've been thinking about the book even if I
haven't been writing, and I think I finally have all the pieces I need
for a good ending.
Two chapters. Now I just need to sit down and write them.
I've been spending some time at the store over the last few days, which
has been a good thing. We have a small chance of beating last year,
which I didn't think would happen. Pay off a few bills. Start the year
fresh.
Todd and Sherrone are home. We even put up a tree! We're actually wrapping presents! Christmas music!
Weird.
Retailing makes it hard to feel Christmas, frankly. Usually around 5:00 on Christmas Eve as I go to the store and raid it of any cool stuff I've had my eye on that nobody bought, and the store is closed, then it washes over me.
You get old, you get lazy, you don't have kids home, you don't put up a tree or wrap presents or any of that stuff. And of course, it took just a few minutes and feels good and I really need to get off my butt in the future. Even if it is just Linda and me, I'd like that.

What a nice thoughtful thing to think!! I too got lazy a couple years ago, but seems even if the son is 45 he still wants to feel the xmas spirit and Mom is the one to supply it, so have to also get off my butt and be celebratory and think of someone besides myself.. who knew!!! HA!! Hope you and your family had a Merry One!!!
We also saw Star Wars in 3D IMAX, well it was just great and brought back so very many memories...
