And just like that, less than three weeks until Christmas. I don’t want to suggest that I am completely ready for the holiday season because you never know what last minute item might come around the corner. I can say, however, that I believe all my Christmas shopping and wrapping is done.
I even have my Christmas greeting prepared – although I may change it up a bit, but that’s a small task. Back in the day I used to send a dozen or two Christmas cards but would only get a few back. I do have one friend who I continue to exchange Christmas cards with, but that’s about it. Say what you will about the advent of social media, at least this way I can post one Christmas greeting on my socials and let people “like” and/or respond to it and I’m not out a lot of time, money and effort if people choose to ignore it.
Tomorrow begins my final two weeks of work for 2021. I am going to be trying to get everything I can wrapped up before close of business on December 17. At the same time, I am hoping to work away on my own personal “To Do” list prior to, and during, the holidays. I’d love to be able to start 2022 with a clean slate and lots of energy.
This past week, I was actually back on campus on back-to-back days, for some social media training (a very informative afternoon) as well as a photo shoot for our departing VP of Enrolment Services. (We’ll miss you, Marilyn!) It was kinda nice to be back on campus and, temporarily, back in our Comms office.
I am starting to come up with more and more ideas for podcast episodes. It is simply now a matter of finding the time to write the scripts and produce the episodes. That’s a 2022 New Year’s Resolution. I’ve got a few of them. Perhaps not so much resolutions as goals to work towards.
My folks and I are still watching “Friends.” We are up to the point where Ross and Rachel first break up. For a comedy, they sure brought the dramatic scenes from time. With no NASCAR to watch, I keep trying to resume my review of the 1987 but it’s trying to watch a couple of hours of racing while pausing to write up my review. It is however on that Holiday To Do list so maybe some night this week, I’ll watch the Souvran Bank 500 – or whatever it’s called.
