So is anyone else in panic mode?
Just me?
Ok then....
My husband did his husbandly duty of telling me that we're leaving next week. I then proceeded to argue with him until he he showed me the calendar.
Unfair tactic but hey.
So now I'm in panic mode. I have presents to get under the tree, stockings to put up, packing to do and a few orders to finish.
So yeah panicking lol.
I also am still selling yard sale stuff getting enough money together for bills. So yeah things are getting tight fast.
On the other hand I'll have a week back home with my family to chill for a minute.

Just breathe, you'll get there. Trust me it's not as bad as it sounds.

Wow, I didn't even realize it was next week until seeing this post.
Luckily, we've already purchased, wrapped, and have plans to go out to eat for Christmas dinner. Nothing for us to panic about here.
Don't panic too much, things have a way of falling in place. Stay calm and collected. Try writing a list of to-do's.

I tried the to-do list then lost the list then more stuff got added to it. It's just been a bad year.

@JordanLader Aw, sorry to hear that.
Well, you know... the holidays can be brutal sometimes. You just have to do the best you can to get through it and stay positive!
I know... easier said than done, but don't worry if things don't turn out perfect. We're not perfect and life is not perfect.
I wish you the best and hope that the new year is better for you!

Faster than I planned. I'm so lost on everything. There's so much that hasn't been done that we keep saying next year. We just have to make it to next year

Panic you don't know what is panic for an anxiety sufferer like me. I wil be all alone I will watch Christmas movies but I sure hope I don't get run over by all those memories,

Sometimes even being around people you can be overrun by memories. I may not know what it's like for you but I know what it's like for me. Right now I'm just trying to get through the rest of this year, I hope you can find some kind of joy in the holiday but it's ok if all you do is breathe.
I've been told that it's ok to be in your feelings as long as you feel them and still pick yourself up.
