It's Not the Holidays, it's Just the Blues

Major events in my life seem to happen all at once instead of neatly spaced. I've heard that this is a common problem. By way of demonstration I present this list of things that have happened since my birthday in October:

• Training seminar, which is a nightmare because I go to the wrong location the first day, get rear-ended the second day, and on the third day:
• My Grandmother died
• I flew to Seattle and back
• I refinanced my existing debts
• I started a short-lived Mutants and Masterminds game
• I started a blog, hopefully not short-lived
• I moved
• I drove to Chicago (six hours each way, oh what fun)
• I went through all sorts of testing, interviews, etc. and got a promotion
• I struggle to get my department ready for me to leave
• I got invited to interview for another job at a different company
• I went on a diet (well, still am)
• I started work on a novel

No wonder I'm stressed out. Bleh. I'm hoping to get away with ignoring the holidays this year because I've got too many other things to work on.
