Pushing the pedal to the metal...

The days are getting shorter... with a plethora of many many things "To do". And you know, the way to get housework done is to get it done quick! That is, no procrastinating on the matter and no indulging in storybooks, cake-baking, and lounging around. Plus, you get thrown in a tizz when relatives are finally confirming their whereabouts and intentions to come visit. Aaand, your professional work-life has not yet come to a grinding halt this Christmas season. It doesn't help when you are an "independent" a.k.a. "freelancer"; work-days and holidays tend to get meshed-up together.

Whatever and however! The theme of this month is indeed, "Celebration!"; I must rest-up my feet and make a good batch of coffee to go with that 'perfect' pound cake (still a fiction of my imagination). But not before, I do a mad cleaning spree, with Kimo in tow and Wendell, not too far away. All the fastidiousness will all be worth it, I know. Besides, the mood-enhancing Christmas tree is up! And with Amy Grant singing 'Tennessee Christmas' in the background, it is not easy to be debilitated so by the crushing weight of the 'still-not-yet-done' stuff in life.

Meantime, we have several more days still before Christmas and the year ends, so although I am getting weepy already; I will save the resolution notes for later.

Now...getting back to work! Have a good week ahead!
