A good chunk of this year was very unpleasant. At work one day during a particularly dark patch in the spring, when it was hard to imagine getting through the workday, let alone the year, I scheduled a holiday-related task on my online todo list for December. I was hoping that I would forget about the task and that by December things would look different.
I did end up forgetting about it until the task showed up on my todo list this week. Although it reminds me of that difficult time, the memory of scheduling the task (and putting up the lights) made me smile. Because things are better now. And because my office is now festive. And because I’m still here.

So, have I missed something? This is the first post from you in a loooonnnnngggg time. Are you doing ok? I miss your sarcastic wit.
Thanks Becky! Long time, no blog eh? I did write a post in October highlighting my super cool new retirement countdown clock sidebar widget, but yeah that was it over the past year. 2013 was a crappy year, and blogging was the first thing to go. But I’m OK and plan to be back to being bitchy–I mean blogging–again soon.
We are all so lucky. Congratulations on choosing to be festive! Here’s some soundtrack for you to capture the joy and peril of being here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XorJ1NTSaGo
Love you always!
Love you too, Erin! I bet my coworkers would really enjoy that song blasted really loud…
