Our state of affairs

This morning I woke up and through a slight hangover/sinus headache, I squinted into the sunlit livingroom, at all the toys, bags of crap lugged to & fro all week long, and almost 2 weeks of dust glowing grey in the light of day, and I thought.... this is a sad state of affairs we have here.

It's like we've been living out of a hotel with no maid service since, well, since the family left and Elliott came home. Things are back to normal... normal as normal can be anyway since its 1 week till christmas and we find ourselves running from school to work to school and back again, Fer's friday night shows, work christmas functions, 5+ hours of homework a week for me and I just had another 2 tests yesterday, 1 on the ways to perform AVEDA's 5 body treatments, and 1 on bacteria, EPA/OSHA regulations, contamination, sterilization, disinfectants & sanatation. Fun huh? But I got to perform extractions, watch a back wax, full leg wax, and performed 2 facials. Oh, and all that was pretty much just yesterday.

Did I mention that I'm a little bit tired?

I started waking up around 5am with the thoughts of procedure, steps, massage movements, facial treatments, etc floating around in my noggin and had a hard time getting back to sleep. I am super excited about all that I am learning, but somtimes i feel like my brain is going to explode. Awesome right?

Overall I am pretty invigorated at all these challenges, but man... does it take away from the rest of things. I can't really think of the last time things were so tight.... phonecalling, emailing, blogging, recreational reading, and even my precious tivo are all huddled together in the dark corner keeping eachother company and waiting for my return. I have 7 episodes of GH waiting patiently, not to mention all the Daily shows I have to get to... thank the sweet baby jesus that its his birthday yet again because all my other shows are on vay-kay. Ah yes, tis the season to be merry.

So on that note, who knows when I will come back to you, sweet internet... but its nice to know you will be here, hopefully with open arms... Just in case its another week or so though, Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/Light those festival candles/and dance around for this 'Effing Good New Year.

You know I love you...

Oh, and PS: Thanks again to each and every one of you who have called, emailed, commented on here, or sent cards thinking of us and hoping for Elliott's good health. She is back in full effect to her firey self, and I can't help but think all of you had a little something to do with it. I know it helped keep me together... even if I haven't yet gotten around to calling everyone back, I think of you every day, and that's no joke.

-over and out-
