Holiday preparation...

Basically, I am working all the way up until Christmas, and I am so not prepared for this holiday. I'm fortunate to have work, yet grumpy because I'm doing it all the time. In the morning I try to find private time by going to work early to write in my diary in the conference room, and it's usually interrupted by another early bird who needs to discuss work. I don't like denying others the opportunity to have constructive discussions, and so I'm a push over. I want to make art, but generally when I have the time it's spent resting or doing other non constructive activities. I know I'm not the only one within this sort of habit,so I'm trying not to complain about it and just make due. Is that possible when you tend to obsess about your concerns? Making due really is a polite way of saying I'll continue thinking about it. Blah!
