And Now, Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Christmas Obsessing
Wherein Our Heroine
Reaches a Tipping Point.
We have received a lot of packages in
the last few days. We have yet to get ours sent out. This is, in common
parlance, a Problem.
I am
often early. When in school, I was often the first person out of an exam. I
tended to write papers before their due date. These days, I arrive early to
meetings or interviews. However, there is a really fine line between early and
Very Late Indeed. Having a worldview that supports the notion that I am a
person who arrives early, hands things in before they are due, etc. can also be
a problem. Yes, it is true 90% of the time. But when it is not true, it is a
rude shock to me and everyone else. That worldview gives you a false sense of
security, you see.
So, this
weekend there is a boatload to do. John and I have to wrap everything, I have a
class to teach, and we have to get everything sent out. Despite having broken
out the Christmas music right after Thanksgiving, I have the uncomfortable
feeling that the holiday has snuck up on me.
I like my holidays out there
in the open, where I can keep my eye on them, and I like my deadlines met. So I
will wish you all a very happy weekend.
