Had to go and open my big mouth, didn't I? After a bout of Traditional Holiday Food Poisoning, I have been dealing with an ever so slight case of Traditional Holiday Malaise/Seasonal-Affective-Disorder/Whatever. Losing a week of work isn't going to stop me from staying current on commissions, nor should it completely prevent me from entertaining more side project work. It is, however, damned inconvenient for all those plans, and will slow things down a bit further. I'll just have to see what I can do to squeeze in some extra work hours here and there to see if I can't get a bit more out the door and keep things better on track, provided I can lurch back into rhythm this week.

something something definition of insanity and all that, but there are times when repetition is the only option. Try, try again. On the bright side, this isn't the worst December nor the worst depression nor the worst bout of foodborne illness I've ever suffered, so I can speak from experience that things could be so, SO much worse, ha. Here's hoping all your holidays have been going a bit smoother than all that!
