Hi D.... nice to see you posting here again.

I'm surviving.... still....lol. Not sure if I'm Rockin' but then again its winter time. I used to do a lot of rushing around at this time of year.... holiday season and all. In one past life I'd be buried in fabric in my studio making holiday dresses. In another I'd be performing, preaching and serving food to street people at coffee houses, soup kitchens and shelters. In another I'd be flooded with term papers and projects to grade before semester break. Another.... oh forget it.... just showing off my age, lol.

This year.... just a simple time. Doing a few crafts and some baking for most of my gift giving. Have my son's birthday party to organize before Christmas so that usually kicks off the party spirit. He parties amid the Christmas decorations with a few happy birthday signs and wrapping papers thrown in. It can be hard to coordinate date and time with kids whose families are busy with Christmas gatherings at the same time. We just make it appealing enough that the kids convince their parents to let them come anyways. lol.

I miss being part of a church at this time of year. Used to like doing the costuming for the Christmas concerts. I suppose I could still do it if I really wanted to but..... like I said.... not much rock and roll in my survival these days. Just making it through the 'must do's' that I can't put off. That's mostly how my days are going. Staying out of the fray. Pretending some problems will just go away. Ignoring the stressors as best that I can.... for as long as I can. Distracting myself with nothingness stuff. For another hour or so at least anyways. Just need to stop myself from stretching that to another day.... or week. Gee... where does the time go!!!

Anyways.... back to trying to get back to work...... lol... maybe a piece of chocolate will energize me....
