*insert any "Charlie Brown Christmas" music here*

Merry Christmas!

Despite the futility of lists, it's been a good day.

And best yet, I got to go to church last night and hang around during all three services and see many people that I haven't seen in months. It all feels a bit time-warp-ish, like I haven't really been gone for four months, like all the conversations that I had before I left were just 2 weeks ago.

Things change, and I see that most vividly when I look at Jakob--four months is a long time when you're only 18 months old. Things stay the same, too, though, and I'm reminded of that every time I pick up a conversation as though I just left it yesterday.

I really am tired, though. I think my body is just in overdrive trying to catch up from being up at 6 in the morning. It's amazing how fast I revert to my default internal clock. Bed at 2, up at 10. Something along those lines. If I had my way, that's how I'd schedule my day most of the time, but unfortunately, I have to conform to the NYC Public School schedule, which includes leaving the house at 7:30.

For the next week and a half, though, I can stay up late and sleep in to my heart's content. Watch movies, hang out with friends until the wee hours, go out for coffee late... and I can sleep in as late as I want! Fantastic.

And Merry Christmas. I hope it's been a good day. A good weekend. And the fun continues tomorrow...
