grammarwomanPoor Emperor. His two-week vacation comes to a close with his return to school tomorrow, and oh, the sleepy whining of "I don't want to go back to school!" I hear you, kid. I had almost the same amount of time off, though working from home bookended it, plus hosting my parents for Christmas, throwing what turned out to be the petitest of soirees for New Year's, and then having a ladies weekend, ate up a lot of that "free time" with cleaning/cooking/shopping/decorating/wrapping/preparing. My fitness tracker credited me with a lot of steps during those whirlwinds.
Now I'm looking at the craptacular weather outside - I didn't know it could snow this much when it's only 10 degrees - and I'm right there with the Emperor wishing for a snow day tomorrow.
I have a ton of tabs open with Yuletide recs and such, but the looming deadline of my Festivid is (as usual) preventing me from enjoying anything non-FV oriented. That meant a lot of guilty tappy games on my phone while I watched the source over the past two weeks. Several seasons worth of "Oh, man, I forgot how much I loved this show!", followed by the crushing end of "And it's done and gone now."
My social anxiety seems to be getting worse, or perhaps is harder to deal with after all the social time. I loved hanging out with people, but I could have done without the brain weasel thoughts of "They're just putting up with you because it's the holidays. Nobody cares if you're here or not."
I feel lucky that 2014 wasn't catastrophically bad for me and the immediate family. I hope that 2015 brings some actual good news.
