  • ODDS and ENDS: Most Annoying Thing in the World, Dogs in Sweaters, and Christmas Lights

    (City lights and business nights…)

    I have a canker sore on the bottom of my tongue. Sweet Lord in Heaven, it is the most annoying thing in my life right now. It hurts a little, sure; that little sting of pain when I eat or talk or swallow or brush my teeth, or do anything like laying in bed. But what is really annoying is how I am thinking about it all the time. Can’t eat anything too spicy, and don’t talk too much, because you might droll on yourself. I ate a cookie last night, and it hurt like hell on a stick, so now I have second thoughts about eating a cookie. And this is the time of year when you’re supposed to eat cookies freely and openly and without thought… I’ve had the canker sore for three days now, and I know me, which means that I have about four more day to go before it decides to move on its way.

    Dogs in sweaters is just funny to me. I’m not knocking dogs in sweaters, as some little guys do need them. But on the whole, when I see a dog in a sweater, it makes me think the dog is playing dress up. Like the dog has a little closet of clothes to pick from. But like I said, some dogs need a sweater. Case in point:

    I love New York City at Christmas time. People are generally in a good mood, and there is a buzz around here during the Holidays. And then there are the lights; colored lights are everywhere. But what I like most when it comes to lights are the Christmas Trees people place in front of their windows; decorated and lit up. Like silent home guards watching over the City.

  • Holiday Errands

    Today I had to focus on getting all of our Holiday stuff done. Took longer than I thought.

  • Earworm Wednesday: Christmas Edition

    I mean, Beaker and Miss Piggy make the song.

  • Doing Stuff, Out of Time

    Thought that I would have more time, but I ran outta time.

    Now I have to run off to Brooklyn. Volunteering, helping with some puppets. Been looking forward to it.

    Time management is a problem of mine.

    Or…

    I watched an episode of Supernatural with the wife, and lost track of time.

    Either way, I’m off.

  • Christmas Time’s Running Out

    Wasn’t Thanksgiving just last week? At least that’s what it feels like to me.

    You know what, it also feels like Christmas is about to be here, and I’m not ready!!!

    See all the exclamation points I used; that’s how you know I’m serious.

    Decorations went up last week, and we have started our shopping, but I can’t shake the feeling that I am running behind. I’m very anxious this year, and not sure why.

    There are many people out there that keep telling that the world is about to come to an end, or the ending is in process, or that things are changing and will never go back to the way they were.

    That could be part of it.

    But, I feel like there is this clock running, and that I can’t catch up to it. No matter what I do, I fall further and further behind.

    I want to have to Christmas joy and spirit in my life. I should be generating this, creating it for my family.

    But I feel like I am just hanging on this year. It might be a brave face, but I will face it, and put forth good cheer, and love toward my fellow man.

    Still…

    I feel off.
