I want to be excited about Christmas

But right now I'm overwhelmed with school, work, exchequer foo, and being sick. I've been working from home all week and spending much of those daze in a stupor. Thankfully, while work has been busy, it hasn't been one-armed-paper-hanger busy. And I managed to knock out all my schoolwork Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Tonight, I'll tackle the exchequer reports, provided I get all necessary information.

Right now, I don't know if we'll put up a tree. Basil has been urinating in the dining room -- gotta make time for a vet visit -- and I don't want to deal with *that* in addition to tree/skirt/gifts. I don't know. Maybe in another week or two when I'm feeling better, I'll change my mind and be in the mood for cheer.
