Holiday Busy-Busy Bee
*blinks rapidly* Where did the week go? Where did the weekend go? For the past few days, it seemed like I was stuck in the GO position and competing with the Energizer Bunny. I still feel that way.
*sigh* At least it was a productive week. My mom coerced me into making sandwiches and dip this weekend to share with her co-workers for a bit of holiday cheer. I didn't mind, but it was extremely time consuming; the dip alone took about ninety minutes to make.
My mom also talked me into doing her holiday mailing (AGAIN), so I have been furiously cranking out cards and wrapping packages. My fingers feel like they're on fire and fixed in the "pen-holding" position. And these are just the family cards. For my cards, only the ones sent abroad have been mailed; I will be working on the rest of the domestic mail this week.
This is from Creative Writing Prompts. I liked this particular prompt because the last few days have crazy busy.
Prompt #255
Come up with 12 good reasons to sleep in.
1. Baby, it's cold outside! O_O The weather outside is frightful! O_O Okay, I've been listening to way too many Christmas songs. If it's foggy, freezing, storming, and windy, it's the perfect day to sleep in if I don't have other commitments.
2. My morning agenda is completely clear, so I have no responsibilities that need my immediate attention.
3. I have the flu or a cold.
4. I'm having an excellent dream and I want to continue sleeping to see where it leads.
5. Going to bed late.
6. The room is cold, but my nest of blankets keeps me snug, warm, and sleepy.
7. Pure exhaustion.
8. My pajamas are soft and fuzzy or smooth and silky depending on my mood, and I want to wear them for as long as possible.
9. Mining creativity. In my semi-sleep state, bizarre thoughts enter my consciousness and I dutifully write these down. An example would be a "dream" in black and white with me standing in the canal of an ear. I told you it was weird.
10. I'm on vacation or have the day off at home. If I'm on a trip, I rarely sleep in because I'm too anxious to start my day and explore my surroundings.
11. Freshly laundered sheets and blankets. I purr when I have fresh linen on my bed.
12. Because I want to and it's my prerogative.
