December Busyness

It is already halfway through the month and I have four Christmas decorations out.  A sugar bowl, an ornament my friends bought for me in Las Vegas last week and a fake Christmas tree a customer was throwing away, and the icicle lights that I put up in November while it was warm.  Time is flying and I've been in my shop daily except for a brief whirlwind trip the Las Vegas to join my friends in their wedding journey. 

Work work work.  I wonder why I do this stuff.  I am not making any money to get ahead, but I am working overtime every day to the point that I do not even have the time or energy to get the decorations out of the attic to enjoy the season. I haven't gone to get my tree, and that I love to do.  It is just a weird sensation to feel like the world is spinning too fast.  And then I sat here this morning and took the time to read every single blog post my sister wrote.  Some I commented on, and others I just read and contemplated where she was at the time to put myself in her shoes.  The indicators of the end coming were there, and I knew it at the time, but going back to read about her journey somehow made things more apparent.  It makes me a little angry at the doctors, who allowed her to put things off.  They should have insisted (my mind says)  But then again because they didn't push - she was allowed to enjoy the last couple of months she had, and perhaps they knew that too.

I am going to work today because I have customers expecting Christmas stuff.  But I am going to enjoy a whole day this weekend and take it completely off.  I'm going to put things off, like my sister did, so I can enjoy the season.
