I almost blew away

Oh my freaking goodness! When did the WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS get here? I swear, every year time seems to fly by faster and faster. It hardly seems like December's even started, and then, Oh, Hello Christmas. GO AWAY I'M NOT READY FOR YOU YET!

I am so not ready. I have gifts left to buy, I have baking left to do (although keeping in tune with my getting in shape (ha ha ha) strategy, I don't intend to do much baking.

Also, being stranded in the big city for work last week didn't help much. I did manage to start my Christmas shopping, but I wasted a whole night in an airport hotel (a lovely, posh one, mind you) while i waited for the hurricane to cease.

Unfortunately this delay made me miss the funeral of W.'s aunt, which was quite upsetting for me. I had to go to these meetings for work, so I wasn't able to be there for any of it. Part of me is ok with that, but part of me would liked to have at least been there.

She was a lovely lady, although with her problems like anyone else, and she will be missed.
