JE's Ramblings

I haven't posted anything for my advent calendar since last week and I'm trying to figure out how to catch up and - I'm just not feeling it. Last week it was just too stressful with getting last minute things done, packing, working half an hour to an hour late most days and even a social event at work. It sucked any kind of creative motivation out. While I'm officially on vacation for the rest of the year, it's taking a bit of time to relax and trying to figure out what I'm going to post to catch up on top of what I should post for the day is kind of stressing me out.

I think that it would be best to just let it rest, but a part of me has a hard time letting it go. Maybe this post will make it "official" enough to help with it.

There's still plenty to do: family stuff, trying to declutter my computer some more, making icons for dailyicons and more.

Figuring out presents is on the list as well. Also kind of failing at it. My dad's birthday is tomorrow and none of the presents will arrive on time. Part of that is that most of us usually are like "I don't need anything" and aren't good at coming up with other presents either. Every year there's also talk about cutting back on the presents (outside of those for the kids).

Two weeks left of 2024 and, as much as I don't want my vacation to end, I'm already looking forward to it. Things are kind of weird currently as things switch between planning Christmas, birthdays and a funeral. I certainly don't feel very social currently.
