Hello December

In merely 12 DAYS my grandpa is coming over and we are going to begin our road trip across the USA. That is not a lot of time. Especially for a serial procrastinator, who incidentally has not begun packing. But you know, I have been doing every other possible thing I can think of that doesn't involve packing (like shopping for earmuffs, getting oil changes and haircuts, doctors appointments, gym-time, hockey games, brunch outings, hot baths, watching football, you name it).


I woke up this morning feeling a tiny bit sick. Which I knew was a sign that I was about to feel A LOT sick. So in a aggressive maneuver to outsmart the germs which are attacking me, I have consumed no less than 12 chewable Vitamin C tablets today, each one with more than 400% of the recommended daily Vitamin C allowance. Because that's supposed to supercharge your immune system, or something like that. (And perhaps they were citrus-flavored and delicious and tasted like pure sugar.) ANYWAY, it did not work. So much for natural cures! I need real drugs. You know, like nasal sprays and Excedrin and Dayquil. 


OH guess what? It turns outs that I love December! I don't know how I forget about this fact every single year. I think I accidentally associate December with January and February. But that is silly... they're completely different. December means pretty lights and Christmas decorations and vacation time to look forward to. And holiday music and trees inside houses. And cute boots. And vacation time. 


Man I really can't wait for vacation time.
