Almost there

Wait, how is it the 18th already?? This is the problem with December, it always goes by way too quickly, especially when one's brain falls into a 'take each day as it comes' mindset instead of getting wrapped up in the busy holiday vibe. It's actually been kind of a quiet Q4 at work, though. There are certainly pockets of time where the customer line never ends, but it seems a little less chaotic this year. I know our numbers aren't quite as high as they were this time a few years back, but we're not exactly struggling either.

Anyhoo, I've basically been wrapping up any year-end business these last couple of days and plan to continue doing so until the end of the month. It's my own little way of keeping calm and unstressed, I suppose. I know I have two compilations to finish off -- one is technically a writing soundtrack for a future writing project, and the other is the end-of-year mixtape. Those are easy enough, and I don't think I have anything planned for the next couple of Sundays so perhaps I'll get them done then!

Late Sunday Afternoon stuff

I do love that for the most part I have Sundays off, because I can sleep in (as much as our cats will let us), and it's a day when I can just chill, catch up with mundane errands and go out to brunch. Which is exactly what I did! A bit of vacuuming, a run to Target to stock up on a few household things, and otherwise not being stressed out over anything at all.

The last couple of days at the Day Job have been a bit busy but not nearly as chaotic as T-Day and the day before it. From what I've been told, it should be rather unexciting for a few more weeks until people start shopping for Christmas feasts. There hasn't been any holiday music playing in the store as of yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if it starts soon.

I did not get around to making any new mixtapes these last couple of days, but perhaps I might remedy that in the next few days when I fill out the last couple of half-made playlists and perhaps make a couple of new ones. I'm kind of embarrassed that I've been so lazy about them this year!

Other than that, not much else to report...hope everyone has a good week ahead!
