I had kind of an upset today which came out of something that initially made me happy. Mom's Christmas cactus started blooming and I brought it into the kitchen so I could enjoy it when I would be sitting at my laptop which seems to have found a semi-permanent home on my kitchen table.

"What an interesting time for it to bloom," I thought to myself. Then I realized that in a month it is going to be Christmas. :-(

It was a real blow. I don't know how much more I can take before I fold.
