Busy time of year..

Well, I am 95% finished with the quilt I have been working on so I'm excited about that, but I realized today, Christmas is really creeping up on me and I have several other projects I have yet to complete! I need to make a batch of candles and some tarts, I have a few pieces of jewelry left to make, some beads that need cleaned, photographed and listed, cookies to make, house to clean, presents to buy, presents to wrap....does it ever end?! I really do love Christmas, mainly getting together with family and friends, but I always push myself so hard to have everything perfect that by the time it actually gets here I'm overwhelmed to say the least. There will be things on my list that don't get done, and it WILL be OK... :) This year we are having people over to our house though, and that is a first for us because this is the first time we have had a home big enough to accommodate people so that adds a little extra stress, but also a sense of pride because we have worked so hard to get to this point in our lives and it will be nice to share that with our families.
OK, enough typing, I have work to do! :)

Bad day.

It has been a really long and crappy day! I have't felt well all day, can't quite put my finger on it but I just don't feel "right". I had to work today and there were a lot of things going on and not enough people to handle them so I wound up having to do a lot of extra things and a lot of things that I haven't done before or don't normally have to do. Not that that really bothers me for the most part, but when you are dealing with medications and illness and things of that nature, it can be a bit stressful if you feel like you aren't well prepared to deal with it. I have two more days to work this week, but tomorrow will be better; it has to be!
