Craziest days of the year

It's been the last day at work today, but during these three days I've worked more than I usually do in a week.
I almost finished with all the X-mas shopping, however this year, just like a year ago, I did not make big fuzz about the whole thing. I have so many relatives and friends whom I'd like to greet that it is impossible to surprise all of them even with a small present
So people will get Honey-bread again that I make, and a nice scented candle.

I am getting more and more disgusted every year seeing how the crowds are loosing their minds from running after their dreams that they try to purchase in the name of Christmas. It's almost a race for whose present is more expensive. And of course everyone gets frustrated, tensed; trams, buses and the metro are full like cans with sardines, and of course some pretty nice swears fly by above your head. Hungarians are famous of their tawdry cursing. Then I just roll my eyes "Cool, the less days are there until Christmas Eve, the farther on we get from what it is really about".

Anyway, maybe I am too exhausted and that's why I'm grumbling so much nowadays. I feel that a two weeks long break would be so fine now. But it does not look like a close thing to come: I have to go to mom tomorrow again to do some shopping for her and then chop wood again :-/. I am curious how I will be able to do that tomorrow - I feel so much burnt out even now, that I can almost feel the smell of the smoke. J/K. Clumsy, eh?

I dedicated Friday for Honey-bread making, at least those few hours when I'll be free. I have an appointment at the dentist - last night a filling fell out of a tooth of mine and it also broke the tooth itself, so it has to be checked urgently, before the holidays. Of course, it's a Murphy's Law that it happens now when the dentist hardly has a few free minutes for me.

Anyway, after the dentist back to home continuing with Honey-bread making, then going to theater in the evening with Cs. Then next morning leaving early for Tar, visiting the Lama and greeting the guys in the Buddhist Center upon X-mas. They also get some Honey bread of course :-) (No human can ever evade his destiny: having some Honey-bread a'la Eva ]:-) Ha-Ha-Ha.

Sooo... now time to go for the nice smelling hot bath int he bathroom and hit the bed.
Maybe I'll make a cup of hot chocolate (sugar-free of course) and will be sipping it slowly in the warm bed, thinking about the good times when I was young and fresh and cheerful and adorable and energetic and full of all kinds of hopes and... *sigh* :-)
