Back at work, feeling less crap-tastic

I took Friday off to put up Christmas decorations, and still had a meltdown Saturday morning, but I haven't quite slipped into the major funk I got into last Christmas, so something is going well.  I had a few people over for Festivus, or holiday-party-for-all denominations, and that went well.  It was a quiet party due to a low level flow of booze and a few guests being tired or no-shows.  Which was okay as roomie1 needed to be in bed early.

I have to say, though, I do have the most awesomest friends on the entire planet; when I was busy trying to fiigure out how to get the last few decorations and outdoor lights up, how to find time to grocery shop and clean up my room a bit, and still be washed and dressed by 7:30, I had a crew led by mymagritte  to do the grocery shopping, a lighting and tree touch-up crew led by happynonoplace and cantony, and a cooking helper all there in a matter of hours.  My cooking buddy ked9516  even threw me out of the kitchen and forced me to get dressed so that I had plenty of time. 

Christmas Spuffy posts on Thursday at noel_of_spike, so that's exciting; I can't wait to get some reactions on that one, I'm really proud of it.  The other Christmas scene in the FAA-verse isn't going so well, but as FAA 14 is actually working right now, I'm not gonna stress madly about that one.  If I get it written by the 26th, I'll post it somewhere; if not, oh well.

So things are going at least a little better, then? It's so hard to keep energy and emotional levels up this time of year ... I've often said most holiday blahs are caused not be the holidays themselves, but by the holidays happening to fall at the darkest time of the year. maybe I should ask my Australia friends if that's true!
