A Lot Like Home

I feel as if December is just a routine we go through every year. We know what we have to see, who we have to see, and what we have to buy. There isn't actually anything momentous, but we remember to remember and feel special just because it's the season. Well, that time is approaching again and for now, I'm liking the familiarity. It's been a crazy season for me, I feel like there aren't enough days for me to see everyone I want to (yet still spend a surprising number of nights in front of the TV alone...), do all the work I'm supposed to, and even work work is hectic. So getting to eat and laugh with high school friends last night, then arriving home today, going grocery shopping in the pre-Thanksgiving madness, changing into my slippers and sweats, it's all feeling very good right now.
