This Time of Year...

Certain parts of the year are supposedly supposed to lead to certain emotions. This time of year is one of them that is supposed to lead to happiness, my dad's birthday and Thanksgiving leading into Advent, which culminates in Christmas. But so far I'm not able to find it in me. I hope that changes but we'll just wait and see I guess...

Plus, the day after Thanksgiving just reminds me that we have to start shopping. And while I like to shop for people (other than myself, that is. I took after my dad, thanks old man!), I falsely believe that I have to buy things for people--I know that I'm being irrational here, but I just can't seem to help it. And given that I don't know what people want but would prefer to get them something that they do want, this just leads to stress. And given that the last month of the school term is probably the busiest part of it, the additional stress couldn't come at a worse time.

Well on a brighter note, I just read this: according to Google News, "Worldwide, 1.5 million gallons of coffee are consumed each day."

The world should be happy to know that I'm doing more than my fare share.
