1. I got some new catnip toys for the cat, so he'll be entertained while left alone for the holidays - secretly, I'm hoping this little trick will keep my tree standing while I'm away.

2. I'm not at all looking forward to the holiday travels. I greatly dislike holiday stress.

3. I have a lot to do this week, and didn't set myself up well by getting everything done this weekend either.
