Have to get into the shower in just a minute to be ready for Lance's arrival. Have a bunch of errands to run, and then have to get back here to get a bunch of work done before leaving for Albany in the morning.

I guess the question that wraps up this holiday season is - will I survive the next few week? Or are radical changes coming up for me that are punitive and humiliating?

I think it's just time to throw in the towel.
