I feel like I have lists and lists of things that I have to get done, which I’m sure most of us do at this time of year. 

So, I’m usually the relaxed girl. A last minute gal’! Easy going! Spur of the moment or last minute plans…sure no problem!!?? Or, in the eyes of the OCD types, just because we’re”chill,” we must also be lazy, last minute, slow, late, unorganized, procrastinators, &, well, you get the idea. (They have more, many more, kind & warm things to say about my type of people, so I just had to cut it off! lol!! You know the type right??)

They be like, “What are you doing tonight?” ME “I don-no” THEM “Would  you like to go to a movie? I have so much free time. I finished all of my Christmas wrapping and preparations for the season in September!! You can never be too early you know??” ME “Uh, ya…right”  THEM (accompanied with a sigh & eye-roll) “You’re not done yet, are you??” ME “But, it’s early December, right? I have lots of time! No rush. It’s nice to take it slow & enjoy the Christmas season.” THEM “How slow is slow?? I have all my baking done, shopping done, gift wrapping done, all my decorations, mailed out cards, and so much more. How do you plan on still doing all of that?” ME “We still have time, lots of time, right?!” THEM “Ahhhh…” ME “Right?!” THEM “No, we only have a week until Christmas!” ME “Huh…What?” THEM “Yes, a week” ME “No way!! Unt-ah” (them nodding their heads)  “For Reals?? AAAH SHIT!!!! THERE’S ONLY ONE WEEK??!!” THEM (sighing accompanied by a head shake) ME (dropping my head between my knees, breathing deeply to avoid having an anxiety attack!) ME Going to bed, to try to control my heart beat & shut off my worrying mind and vowing to start wrapping tomorrow… “Ahh, we still have a week, that’s lots of time, it could be worse, it could be Christmas Eve!!” THEM Walking away…

To help with research and treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia please go to http://www.tnnme.com (Trigeminal Neuralgia and Me) to sign a petition to have the World Health Organization (WHO) add Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) to their “Health topic list.”

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
