2003-12-15 - 9:17 p.m. Out of phase Like a groundhog at the end of winter, I peek up from the hibernation of my office and glance around at my life. Hmmmm. Time to call the gallery about that print, work on those curtains, pick out the office furniture, plan that trip overseas, register for cooking classes, get a new hot water heater, ... ... strangely, Christmas is my last thought. In the midst of winterdark, I'm thinking about lawn projects. And it's not even solistice yet. It's not that I don't have any holiday spirit. I just think I've skipped straight ahead to Groundhog Day and the ensuing spring cleaning. I'm in the mood for home decor when I'm supposed to be holiday decorating. I think my cycle's all out of phase. Maybe I should live in the Southern hemisphere, where the water runs down the drain the opposite direction and honeysuckle is blooming on my friend's New Zealand porch. I suppose it's all about having time to appreciate the holiday efforts. I refuse to stress about it. It will all get done, to some extent, one way or another. Most importantly, my friends and family will turn up to share holiday cheer. At least my internal soundtrack is in the right season, even if my brain is on spring. Roland and I dashed about the kitchen singing 'O Holy Night' while he cooked dinner. Best you all weren't there to wince. I have this bizarre urge to go Christmas carolling. � � �
