Why is it that we look forward to the holidays, and then when they get here we long for them to be over?

Is it just me??

Frankly, I'm exhausted. Too many parties, too many people...too much food and Christmas cheer. I'm ready to get back to the mundane routine of work, gym, writing, and silence. Blessed silence.

Oh, yeah. First I have to get through the whole New Year's thing.

Oh, wait. Then there's Marty's 60th birthday the weekend after.

Hm...and then, after that, there's...there's always something, isn't there?

I need new vitamins. (Well, not new ones...I need vitamins PERIOD...or maybe Geritol or something.)

And a vacation from all this time off.
