I’m fighting the holiday blues.  Those of you who know me or have followed this blog for a while know why.  For some reason, this year is bothering me worse than the last couple of years.  I’m not asking for advice or pep talks or well wishes.  I’m simply venting the only way I know how.  Unless you’ve been through what I have, you can’t fathom these emotions.  I’ll get through it and be okay.  I just need to deal with things my own way.  If you don’t hear anything from me for a few days, I’m just getting through my least favorite part of the year.  See you after the hyper-consumerism winter festival of corporate greed has passed.
