We still have a lot of shopping to do. Too much shopping to do. Work is way too busy and stressful. The days are too short and sleep is elusive.

But my birthday is next week and I plan to stay away from the office if I can. Because I need some time to myself and away from my desk.

I’m turning 43 and I’m still asking myself the same questions about my life as I was asking one year ago, two years ago…Will I ever come up with the answers? And more important, will I ever build up the courage to act on those answers?

Calgon, take me away!
