I have returned to the present.
No pun intended.
I submitted my final paper for my on-line class last week in an effort to rejoin the real world and realize that Christmas is just around the corner and I have shit to do.
Like buy presents. Package them up and send them off. Set up a tree. Make many, many, many crafts each night with the Magpie. Bake cookies. Stage and take photos for the interdepartmental office cards that I volunteered to do. Attend numerous festive events and arrange a few more. Get a tattoo (yay!!). Take the reflexology class I signed up for. Do something special for a few of my bestest friends and help the Magpie do the same for hers.
Sleep.
It’s okay that it’s December.
I’m really looking forward to January.
