Blame it on the Holidays

Good morning/afternoon/evening everybody,

I thought I'd take a moment to apologize for being remiss in my blog posts for the last month (Its been a month since I last posted!?!?!?!). I told myself that I had to find the time to write a blog post nearly everyday and yet, it didn't happen.

Why?

A culmination of a lot of reasons:

1) Not enough hours in the day
2) No self-motivation
3) Out of topics
4) No self-discipline
5) My computer hates me
6) My dog-er-cat ate my homework
7) The stars are out of alignment
8) The library flooded (not even kidding on this one, but the water was confined to the basement... where the computer lab is, not that I use it anyway, but still scary)
9) Pandora is playing all the wrong songs
10) Too cold

And the list could go on and on, getting more ridiculous with each entry, but I can sum it all up into one thing:

I work retail and its Christmas time resulting in the lack of energy, time, braining, hope, faith in humanity, patience, and sleep.

I would really like to say "It's okay that my blog has been put on pause, I'm still writing other things."

Ha. Ha.

Nope, can't say that. This is actually the most I've written in probably 3 weeks. In fact, I actually was excited to get off work a little early so I could go to the library and work on writing prompts before my writers group meeting.

I'm writing this post instead.

Thanks to the holidays, I have too much to do, not enough time to do it in, and I know I have at least a dozen more gray hairs now than when I woke up this morning. Oh, and I'm changing positions at work so I've been trying to learn an entirely new area of responsibility while still kind of doing my old job.

I'm kind of proud of myself for NOT bringing my flask to work in order to make it through the days.

Anyway, enough of me bitching about work. The holidays are almost over, I will eventually learn my new job, and I will hopefully find the time to write again.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and the end is nigh, my fellow retailers.
