Life is awwwwwwsommmmmmmeeeeeee
The past several years (since high school), after coming out of the HS Depression, I have clung to holidays like a brightly-colored liferaft. Screaming Jingle Bells to the Christmas lights is the Christian, socially acceptable version of "F U, WORLD".
This year, I've been so busy that I haven't had time to spit in the face of stress. Stress is too small to bully.
Energy was better spent begging my mutants to actually be mutants. This remains to be determined.
I also usually go lighter on the physical activity during this time of year and heavier on the diet. This year I've been paring back food and increasing gym effort/time, and my body has HAD IT. It's only 8AM and I've already had a thing of Jello, lots of chocolate, lots of peanut butter, some cheese, some almonds, some yogurt... I feel famished. If only you could hold how some more hours, body! But I think I pushed it too far.
....today, cleaning MUST happen.
