It's the calm before the storm. Starting Tuesday, I have things to do that have to get done. (As opposed to things to do that don't realllllly matter in the long run.) Our Christmas tree is up, and it's lovely again this year, though it was harder to set up. We've rearranged the living room since last Christmas (actually, we did it the day we took the tree down last year) and the tree didn't quite fit right in the new arrangement. We had to move the TV to a weird position, but now the tree is visible through the windows, which is nice. I will post a picture of the tree as soon as S takes one and sends it to me.
Relatedly, and I'm not sure how this happened, I have one of my sister's ornaments. I must've had it on my tree last year (because when we did the great ornament divide-up, we weren't sure with some of them--mostly the ones that were similar and from my Aunt Scuba--so we just willy-nilly decided who would take what), but what's truly baffling about this is that my sister's name is written legibly on the underside of the ornament, as in, "To Katie. Love Aunt Scuba." How we missed this I don't know, since it's so ridiculously obvious, but the mistake will be recified on Thursday, when I see Kate.
Non-Christmas-wise, I'm mildly stressed right now about my health insurance situation, since my new health insurance company hasn't sent me the documentation they said was supposed to be here by Friday, and that means I might not be covered when my old health insurance lapses. I'm also still stressing about the job situation, albeit less so, but only because there is a prospect on the horizon, which makes me nervous, because no one wants to screw up and tell everyone about a job (oops) and then not get it. And I want the job, which makes it even worse, because you don't want to get your hopes up to be shot down and still jobless six months after the fact. Keep your fingers crossed for me and don't ask for details!
I'd write about politics or something else--try to muster some opinion besides "My tree is pretty!" but I'm fresh out of outrage and trying to calm myself enough to have a happy, relaxed holiday season. Keep your fingers crossed on that one, too.
