And so on.

Still having a hell of a time with the email. We’re moving to Pixeled as soon as I have a moment’s peace… which, thankfully, will be early next week. Because the Gods can be merciful, the season is finally ending – a week earlier than I thought it would. As of tomorrow, I am officially laid off til March. I’ll still be slaving full time for two weeks every month [and will work the occasional show] til then, but my sanity will be restored and my rapid, horrid burn out will finally cease.

Huzzah.

My biggest problems at the moment are catching up on the emails that are finally trickling in and completing the site update. The update is about 80% finished and the new oils are finally finalized. I went a little bit overboard with the Winter Limited Edition perfumes [heh]: there’s a gingerbread blend, a fabulous holly berry, and [!!!] I finally made the PERFECT snow perfume. I almost regret only making one batch of each of those. At the risk of sounding thoroughly immodest, there isn’t a single blend that I’ve made for this season that I do not absolutely love.

On a personal note…

I had a spasm of political euphoria at work after reading a James Carville snippit, and spent a lovely afternoon arguing about the death penalty with Ted while we watched CNN in the amphitheatre kitchen. Work was slow and therefore tolerable for once. We had the most glorious evening at the Maple Leafs – Kings game, and once we came home he played the WOW alpha while I frayed about a billion sample vials and Brian packed orders. I schlumped into the Lab, finalized the Yule blends, and… here I am. Tired, hungry, and a little confused.

At the moment, I’m half-drowning in Oberon due to a little spillage incident, and I seem to be saturating everything I touch with huckleberry. It’s almost 1am, and I need to haul my berry-scented self into the shower and flop into bed.

Everyone give a massive whoop of relief on my behalf tomorrow at about 6:30pm PST. 😉
