PSA
Ready? PSA: Don't ever go through a breakup right before Christmas. It's unpleasant. The holidays are all gorgeous and shining, but I'm just trying not to get sucked under. Well, not just. I love Christmas, and it won't be completely ruined or anything...but it is more dismal. I'm keeping busy by wrapping a million presents for and on behalf of my family, cooking, running errands with Mom, etc. But it's always there, underneath. Mainly I'm trying to be joyful around my family at all times. M. is helping a lot. A. is too....poor A. He's getting the brunt of my poor moods when we talk, and being terribly patient with me. I'm really, really glad that my sister and brother-in-law have finally arrived.
Today my parents and I went to San Francisco for a special Impressionist painters exhibit. Most excellent. Edinburgh is finally far enough behind me that I'm ready for museums again. We also went and saw the store window displays downtown, around Union Square. These were also fantastic, especially the one with real kittens and puppies. The SPCA displays them there to get donations and adoptions; it's a great idea, and seemed to be going over smashingly. I was also very proud of myself for navigating my family around SF without getting turned around or lost at all, since I was completely in charge of getting us places.
Tomorrow: more baking. More decorating. Throwing myself into Christmas as hard as I can.
