I think the year has officially reached the completely-crazy-lead-up-to-christmas part where the to-do list and social things and the year’s goals and a thousand other things start to form a hectic sort of tangle to conquer before it’s time for time off.

At this time of year, my virgo brains starts making list and calculations and numbers. Right now it goes something like:
1 revision due in 2-4 weeks
9 sleeps until U2 concert
1 election to vote in
2 parental birthdays in the next 10 days
1 orange cat to convince that 5am isn’t breakfast time and sleeping all night is good
20 sleeps until the Bon Jovi concert
7 months til my next book is due
34 sleeps until Christmas
At least 3 big day job projects to finish
1 spinning class left
6 or so Christmas functions
1 complete nanowrimo fail
36 sleeps until Kitten day
And the list goes on. I’m looking forward to a well earned post Christmas collapse! Until then, caffeine is my friend!
Anyone else eyeing the silly season to-do mountain with a mix of anticipation and trepidation?
>You forgot 10,000 presents to buy. Lol. I love lists too.
>Oh man, I hadn't even started to think about that. Or cards! Yikes.
