Yes, it's going to be a busy day. I'm putting up my Christmas decoration today. No, I didn't forget the "s"...I'm just putting up one. Okay, okay, I'll put up a couple...maybe 3...but no more than that. And one of them will NOT be a tree. Nope, not even a little one... You know my position on the whole 'Christmas decoration' thing...it's nothing more than a "make-work project"...you put them all up in December (yes, they shouldn't go up any sooner than that) just so that you can take them all down again in January (or sooner!!). Who needs it. Haven't you got enough other stuff to do?? I don't know....like the daily Sudoku puzzle in the paper?? Or the Jumble?? Anything really, as long as it doesn't include repeating an exercise in reverse that you just completed a month before. Yeah, I know...sounds a bit "bah humbug"-ish, doesn't it?? I prefer to call it an extremely practical approach to an over commercialized time of year. ;)
WHAT I LEARNED TODAY: It's possible that I have a bit of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Just a touch though, and it only rears its ugly head at certain times...and those times are when I've lost something. To say I become single-minded in my mission to find whatever is lost, is an understatement. I lost my glasses last week and it ruined my whole evening. Not because I couldn't see to read, or do the daily Jumble in the paper, but because I spent the entire evening retracing my steps...in my mind, of course. The only thing that stood between me and driving all over town was a raging snow storm...which only made my evening worse, because there was nothing I could do to FIND my lost glasses. Yes, I do have other pairs. No, I don't need those specific ones to read. And yes, I am a hopeless obsessive compulsive. And no, Kier hasn't started to use this little "quirk" to drive me around the bend....not yet, anyway...
