Hi, all. I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind on LJ, reading it (or rather skimming it) only once every 4-5 days or so.
I know some of you have had not-so-great things happen to you (selfish families, psycho families, sickness, stress, crime, depression, frustration, money worries, etc.) and I'm so sorry I haven't been more "here" for you lately. It doesn't mean I don't think of you. It's just that it's Hell Time for retailers like me; and I'm doing this 7 days a week right now, with long hours: waiting on customers, ordering merchandise and supplies, processing web and phone orders, and so on. As if that weren't enough, there is more family drama with
_boy_'s brother which is very energy-draining and time-consuming.
Anyway, I know I've missed all kinds of comments and comment opportunities, memes and polls and holiday lists, etc. and I'm sorry about that. Hopefully I'll catch up sometime. My next day off is Christmas Day, and I've taken off the 26th and 27th too. Three days of not working will be bliss.
