*sniff* *snort* *Achoo!*
I’m avoiding the crazy hoards of people converging on America’s malls today. I’m not sure why, but malls scare me, especially between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I make it a hard and fast rule not to shop in a mall during December. Go, visit… walk around… Maybe. But go there seriously looking for a gift for someone… NEVER. It’s just too dang stressful. It may be the season of good Cheer, and these people have been told a thousand times that Santa sees them even when they are shopping, but it doesn’t seem to stem off all the anger and greed. I figure, I’m better off not being part of an angry mass of “humanity”.
In other news… Sweet Potato Day was fine. We headed out to friends in the East Bay around mid-day. However, all three of us were under the weather. Too sick to really eat, sadly. Too sick to do much of anything. The up side is, we didn’t commit the sin of gluttony this year and there are tons of left-overs.
Today, I find myself trying to get motivated to work on the remaining projects of the semester. I have two major papers due next week and another on the 11th. However, feeling like I do–this is proving to more difficult than usual. So my dilemma: go to bed and rest and then have to hustle on Saturday and Sunday to finish or… work through today and run the risk of getting sicker. Choices!
Well… time to re-medicate.
