Run run run run, make a bag or two

My mantra of survival at the moment is: "it's only temporary." Things are busy, so busy that I'm starting to get that cracked-around-the-edges, what-am-I-missing feeling. It's undoubtedly something big, but it will have to wait until January 14, 2005, which is the next obligation-free weekend I face. By way of explaining why this blog is now and will continue to be so neglected and boring, here's what's happening between now and then:

Dec. 4-5: attend craft fair in NH.
Dec. 9: attend craft fair in Boston.
Dec. 11: attend craft fair in Maine.
Dec. 12: attend craft fair in Haverhill.
Dec. 17: visit The Dad, help him send his Christmas cards.
Dec. 24-26: visit NH and NY for three to four separate Christmas celebrations.
Dec. 30-Jan 2: visit Josh's mom in Vermont, see her perform at First Night.
Jan. 7: visit The Dad.

In between now and all those things, I need to: finish making stockings, upholstery bags, and wristbands; prepare various other fiddly fair-related things; do Christmas shopping; bitch out/talk to the nursing home regarding The Poop Problem (seriously don't even ask, just shoot me); get Change for a Five up in its preliminary state before all the momentum is lost if it has not been already; pay my bills and my dad's bills; help my workplace prepare for their own craft fair, which I will not be able to actually attend; create special consultation report for work; work extra holiday hours in the store for work; remain clothed bathed and fed; sleep. I have a feeling that the last will be the first to go.

But let's not worry too much about all that. January 14, 2005, man. That's where it's at. Get the clean sheets ready and the cocktails mixed, because I'll be kicking back like you've never seen.
