I am now resigned to the fact that Christmas will be what it will be. I HATE THAT. Christmas 2013 was spoiled by my cancer issues...I couldnt even wrap packages. I had hoped this year I could really enjoy throwing myself into all the things I have always done for the holidays...I have always thrived on planning and doing... decorating, looking for just the right thing, baking, etc. Other than a bad food day a couple of times a week, I feel stronger than I have in YEARS right now. ...but reality strikes.......and instead of letting it upset me I shall just let it happen. (That is soooo not me...fighting until the end!) We have not really caught up from all the medical stuff of the last year. Social Security doesnt pay overtime and everything that can break down and cost money to repair has done so for months. Its one hole in the dike after another. Sudden big leaky holes. I havent won the lottery. Darn. The kids will say it doesnt matter...but it bothers ME hugely. Add the fact that every time I try to work on the jewelry I was gifting several people far away someone decides to sit near me and talk and talk and... while many designs are easy to just do without following each step of directions carefully over and over, the ones I have been working on are intricate or need real concentration. I am giving up in those, will complete one that requires no real concentration. I shall bask in the glory of yesterdays shopping trip where I found all 5 things I was looking for...At WAL-MART!!! and there were NO TRAINS!!!...and be very grateful for the suggestions Bri Bonell made for gifts for one certain person. I scored those on Amazon this morning. Now if everything just will get here...and I can remember what was for Katie and what was for Bri... Maybe Ill buy a lottery ticket.
