Okay. I've had enough. This is nuts.
I'm wearing so many layers that I've forgotten what I look like, which may be a good thing since I've been eating Milanos like they're a food group since Christmas.
This is the time of the year when they air those Caribbean vacation commercials at 5 am while I sip coffee and wait for the caffeine to penetrate my brain before I get ready for work. All they do is make me angry. I don't like those tan, fit, happy people prancing down the beach. I don't relate to them. After all, they are tan, fit and happy, (which I am not since it's 5 am and I'm preparing to get ready for work).
And, they're prancing. Who prances? Reindeer. Yup, reindeer prance.
Thinking about reindeer makes me think about Christmas. Christmas reminds me of Santa. Santa reminds me that I have wracked up credit card debt because I thought I was Santa.
Thinking about that credit card debt reminds me that I have to go to work, which involves going outside to warm up the car when it's 10 below 0 with the wind chill factor.
Yes. I know how fortunate I am to have a job that I love, even if I hate getting up at 5 in the cold. I also know how lucky I am to have a warm house with a tv, even if annoying commercials make me cranky.
And, I have Milanos.

Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about all the layers you have to wear and how this had the unfortunate effect of leading you to think about your credit card debt.
Down here in Australia it is really very hot at the moment, so quite the reverse of what you are going through. Hope it warms up a little for you soon.
Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteThose trips sound wonderful. I hope you can eventually make it down under, it really is a great place to visit.
Absolutely don't mind you adding me to your blogroll :) Thanks very much!
Take care
