A few minutes alone
I am full of Mediterranean food and will probably smell like garlic for a few days.
I know it is unwise to stuff my face when I'm stressed, but I can't really do much else unless I drive somewhere. My ankle has been dodgy since PAX, and running on it is pretty uncomfortable. Did I mention my car isn't safe to drive right now? If it snows or gets icy, I'm stuck -- the tires are worn and my 4WD *still* needs repair from last Winter.
The Etsy store did/is doing better than I thought it would. I just need more inventory. Three more Holly Jolly Rogers went up this week, but they aren't selling as quickly. If you post my link (and many of you have THANK YOU) it would help me out.
It's quiet here now. I've only been sitting here 20 minutes and I can feel the invisible grip on my guts loosen. You know, I really do want to relax and enjoy the season. It's hard to do so when the last umpteen years have made Christmas All About Buying, and this is the year you have no money. Having nothing to give makes it even harder to receive. There's a lot of wounded pride involved.
I am grateful that I can still write and create, and that all my game consoles still work (knock on wood).
I am grateful for the people who care about me.
I am grateful for Grady, whether he cares or not.
I am grateful for the magic blanket that keeps me warm at night.
I am grateful for my bandmates and playmates.
I'm trying to think positive here, people. Every little bit I can eke out gets me that much further from stress.
