Bah Hum Bug is what I really mean to say.
For some unexplored reason, I hate the holidays.
I love making and giving gifts, I love seeing my family, and to be frank, getting gifts is pretty great too!
But I always get in a major funk. I think this year it was exemplified by working at a retail coffee shop. So much so that I forgot to breath.
literally! Boxing day, at 2:30 am I woke up and couldn't sleep because I couldn't breath well. I was truly fine. My psychosomatic illness loving lizard brain has never put me in real danger. I did miss 2 days of work though.
Any way. I'm glad it's all over.
I look forward to this January, when Clown Jam* starts up again, and the MacDonalds start up their movie nights again. I didn't realize how little I'd seen my friends, or how much I'd miss the few and far between times I do see them!
I didn't take any photos of the stuff I made, but I do promise a tutorial of the lip balm!
*Clown Jam: We meet every other Monday and play games and work on clown turns and encourage and lift each other up. It's fun, and scary and weird.

Oh, it's New Years Eve
I'm not big on resolutions...mostly because I forget about them in a month.
I do like to reflect and think about things. And decide what I might do better next year.
Communication is a big thing here. My husband and I would fail at communication if we where being graded. We both get quite defencive. and I have a lot of trouble with empathy. I've got a lot of sympathy. When I notice how you are feeling, I'm SO there. But put myself in your shoes, instinctively, sorry boss. I just don't get it.
So that's one thing to work on, empathy, and dropping the defences.
oh that reminds me of this TED talk about vulnerability:
Yea, some food for thought eh?
I also hope to be a little less scattered. Maybe I need a big white board. 'Cause note books and day planners don't seem to work! (oh, I should go get one...a day planner). It takes me like 10 hours to do 3 loads of laundry cause I keep forgetting!
I also want to make more of an EFFORT to see my friends. it's so easy to just go home and lump it out.
Friends! come over for dinner! we don't have to have a marathon. come over for a couple hours.
what are your plans for change this year? or is everything GOOD?
