1) Holidays = insane. Again. I was going to make presents - and I still plan to - but they may be Chinese New Year presents at this point.

2) Cards = This yeah I'm only doing them for people I have addresses for and talk to a lot. You probably know who you are.

While I love that my f-list is so generous and awesome, I've sent out over 100 cards for the last two years, and I simply can't afford that much postage, let alone the actual cards. My apologies.

3) I haven't written a word in two weeks. I think it's time to find the Viking helmet and go to battle against writer's block.

Mostly it's that my couple is having a very bad spot in their relationship and I love them and don't want them to be sad, but oh, they are sad. Some writers are good at hurting their characters. For me, it feels too personal and I hurt when they do.

4) The thankfulness meme has been kind of amazing. It puts me into a positive-thoughts mood for the rest of the day, and makes me thankful for things I take for granted. I totally recommend it, even if you only do it from now til the end of the month.

Thankfulness meme

Let's see how many people can do this. Every day this month until Thanksgiving, think of one thing that you are thankful for and post it as your status. "Today I am thankful for..." The longer you do it, the harder it gets! Now, if you think you can do it, then repost this message as your status to invite others to take the challenge, then post what YOU are thankful for today.

Day 11 - Today I am thankful for jammie days/mental health days/playing hooky days. Some days I just need to do nothing, to allow myself to be unproductive without guilt. I think we all need those days. They're called "weekends" - remember them? :)
