while the coffee is brewing

It occurred to me this morning, while I was pondering other things, that pursuant on yesterday's unfortunate episode with the Flower Lady and the suspicion that I will be much less touchy when The Holidays are over ...

... that's actually going to be a while. viz:
  • Today I am driving to Cleveland, which will not be as bad as the day before Thanksgiving, because a lot of people have already buggered off out of town and I'm getting on the road (fractionally) earlier, but still. Driving back probably Sunday. That's Christmas v1.0 done.
  • Next week, NY"E", Wednesday-Sunday.
  • The following weekend, January 8-12 actually (Thursday-Monday), off to Green Bay for the qualifying round, which isn't a holiday precisely, but is its own bringer of stress.
  • The weekend after that, January 16-18, Christmas v2.0 -- extended family on my mother's side all gets together in January, since everyone's got so much on already at the end of December. I have taken to calling this MLKmas. Back from that on the Sunday of the long weekend, just in time for
  • The Inauguration.
So I'm sort of looking at February for a return to something more like normal. Right?

Also, I wonder what I did with my glasses case.
