Pre-Christmas Writing Attempt

I've been at a loss for words lately, and I blame it on my seemingly constant state of "sniffles" since Tay started school back in August. Gotta have something to blame, right? My brain has just been feeling like mush and stuffiness lately so I just can't be creative. Even now, I am stuffed up and breathing with my mouth open. Feel sorry for me yet? Also, I think I may have a fracture in the tip of my right pinky...but that's a story for another time...maybe.

As Christmas is right around the corner, I feel like I should be relaxed and for the most part, I am. There is a strange calm (or maybe it's sheer laziness) about this season this year, and perhaps that is what is prompting me to write finally. I don't feel a bit ready for Christmas, and I can't believe it's actually already here, but I'm not even sure what I need to do to get ready any more than I already am. I do feel strangely disconnected from everything, but I think a lot of that has to do with my stuffy head and cough I can't seem to shake. It makes me think I should probably go get my overdue annual physical so I can find out what is wrong with my fading health these days.

Moving on...
