Or maybe it is. Who am I to tell you what to think? Hell, I have enough trouble with my own life, why would I want to even try to deal with anyone elses?

Moving on.

It is currently seven days before Christmas Eve. My Christmas shopping is currently at a standstill as I await my next influx of cash. It continues to vex that I am not now, nor have ever been, independently wealthy.

You can feel it in the air, though. The Need. The Need to Spend. This last week before the big event the air is absolutely electric with it.

When I worked in retail this was the week of get it out of the backroom Get it on the floor, because it all has to be sold. Push, push, push. Remember that this week as you finishing your shopping.

Everyone is stressed out this last few days before.

And not enough people are talking about the final Full Moon of 2023 being on December 24, and 25.

Be good to one another.
