I slept until one in the afternoon today. I felt kinda bad about it. Well, at least till I remembered that I was at work until one in the morning, and thus up until 3:30. Still a lot more sleep time than I actually need, but December does tend to catch up with ya. Heh. I can’t believe we are two days away from the halfway mark. Time goes crazy fast! Amazing.

I am pretty caught up this year too. work is going 10 times smoother than last year. I feel like we are on top of it.  Sure I am doing 6 days, but the hours are not too crazy. In fact, this is my only ‘closing’ weekend. I am almost through it! I feel a bit more balanced and caught up at home too. My holiday cards are sent. We are going to have a post-holiday party, and the planning is done for that. The invites are out. As soon as we get some RSVP’s we can move on food and stuff. The house is clean. We really just need to maintain and we will be guest-ready. Heck, I even got my 20,000 mile tune-up done! So the car drama the other day was not so bad… Right? All I have left to squeeze into the month is a DMV visit (appointment Tuesday) and a haircut. No problem!

So yeah. Today I am calm. Maybe by next week I’ll be a frazzled mess like usual. But so far so good as of today.

OMG. I haven’t posted all day. Weird. I have to say though, today was kinda off. It started normal enough, day off, gym time, shopping, ect. But I still have to say overall today kinda sucked. I hate arguing. It totally wrecks my mojo.

Tomorrow the final phase of furniture comes in. After this the house is officially full. No more furnishing will be possible. No more room. We have a chair in every possible corner. Or a couch. Whatever is appropriate. Heheheh. That’s right, the recliners Richard ordered will finally be delivered. Those are for the sitting room off the kitchen. The chairs from there are to be split up. One goes into the office, for 2 person computer viewing. The other up into the master bedroom, completing the new look.

I am officially afraid of how much stuff we own. We will never fit into an apartment again.. Scary. I feel so grown up old.
