Breakdown!

[stoopbeck]

So, partially due to the fact that I didn't sleep at all last night [not intentionally, I wanted to sleep, but... no. Just lay there until 6 when Mom knocked on the door to get me up], and partially due to stress from having a non-family member constantly around [Peggy, our friend from New Orleans who's been staying with us since the hurricane], I had the most spectacular meltdown today.

The end results were good; I compulsively cleaned my room and threw out half the clothes in my closet [by "threw out" I mean "stuffed into bags so Mom could sort through them for stuff she wanted, then Peggy could sort through, and whatever's left gets taken to the Welcome center"], and looked at paint chips to change the color of my room.

Of course, it wasn't really pretty while it was happening. I was home alone except for the doggehs, who went and hid in the kennel as I cleaned.

We also put all the ornaments on the tree today. And by "all" I mean "enough for many trees." Our tree is so gaudy and wonderful. *happy sigh* And Little Brother made chocolate chip cookies. Yum!

Heh, my tree gets gaudier by the day. First it was wee birds. Then glass birds. Then red berries sparsely placed. Then curly stick-things everywhere. Add some more feathered bird ornaments. Then many more berries. Crown it all with a Christmas peacock, and you have the feathered debacle that is our Christmas tree. But oh, how glorious it is.
