Should be working

But I'm not. Six shirts lay there...waiting. Hoping for the completion that the attachment of their collars will bring. Longing to be whole when I deign to get off my ass and finish their hems. I need a break. Not from work. But from the lack of motivation that snuck up upon me unawares. I kinda feel like those shirts...something's missing, something's not quite done. But it will all be made whole again. Eventually. When I choose to do something about it.

It's the weird state of things. The stasis. Christmas one week away. I cannot fathom it's that late in the year already. That 2008 is ready to descend. The distance is mind boggling. Non-existant. The thought that I have to get on a plane and sit still for 10 hours in order to come back and see family. For little over a week. And then return to this little island in the middle of perpetuity. Away. Isolated.

I'm in frickin purgatory.

10 hours!? Wow. I hope I can reccommend watching the LORT extended trilogy. Which is what I would be doing on the plane if I was going home for Christmas.

I recommend drugs. Sweet, sweet sleeping pills--or generic allergy pills, they work just as well.

I feel the same way about Christmas. It almost seems like MORE work when you're not decorating or baking or anything, but you have to scramble around to make this long-ass trip back home for a few days and then go back to your undecorated, boring life. I just can't get excited about it this year. Can't wait to see you though. Travel safe.
