Christmas Is Near And I'm not Ready

The holidays is always supposed to be some joyous time of year. Then why is it that suicide rates and depression is on the rise? Why do people run around with their heads cut off trying to fit 3 months of activities, chores, and get togethers in less than one month? I have never went through a Christmas season while working a 12 hour a day job and two kids. There is not enough time in the day, even if the day had 28 hours. Luckily, my wife has a grip on things. Too bad I can't have her go out and buy her own gifts. So, I will be one of those assholes on Friday and Saturday rushing around for gifts. Luckily, I know what I am buying her. I would of loved to have it all completed by now. I'm usually done by Thanksgiving but money has been tight and I have been battling with my current employer for $3000 of backpay for months.

Work told me I should have it before Christmas. It better be in my paycheck or I am fucked for Christmas. Little do they know that they screwed me for too long. I have a labor lawyer all ready to go backstage, but thats another story.

I guess one good thing about the upcoming holidays is that I might be medicated for the upcoming family gatherings. I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday to discuss many things; including stress. Poppin pills and cookies. Tis the season!
