It Doesn't Feel Like The Holidays

It doesn't feel like the holiday season to me.

I couldn't exactly put my finger on it. There are so many things that make this not-like the holiday season for me. I'm back in Hawaii, it's currently 76 degrees and sunny, and I'm about to go down to the pool for a swim.

This is all normal for the holiday season, but it doesn't feel like Christmas to me. It hasn't, ever since I managed to get back here. The Holidays are, supposedly, time you spend with friends and family. It's about togetherness. For some reason, though, I'm not feeling the togetherness like I used to.

I have work to do, more than I usually have during the break, and more pressing work than I normally have. I have to write a show without a piano, without any sort of musical instrument around. It's pretty nerve wracking, but I hope I'll be okay. I also have to finish editing my resume and CV and start sending them out to more jobs. It's difficult to be here with somebody breathing down my neck about it every minute of every hour of every day. It's okay, though. Only 4 more weeks until I get to go back...
