I was trying to take yesterday off and ended up working longer than usual. Now I'm sore and have to work.
Way to go "helpful nature".
Ended up cleaning out half of my neighbor's basement, last night, to help her get stuff out to the curb for bulk pickup.
This is the main problem I have with the holiday season and back to back observances: So many traditions coupled with so much expectation while trying to handle regular responsibilities together with holiday hosting.
And you can't complain because regardless of how everything goes, that will be the only thing you are remembered for during the next holiday season for the following 3 years. Then you get a do over and remember to keep your mouth shut going forward.
