Christmas is just around the corner and I don't have a thing done except to buy a few cards. I can't even think about it. I get so confused and disoriented. I don't know how I'm going to get ready. Anybody else have this problem?

I take it one thing at a time and try to plan a day to get a couple of things.I try to enjoy the whole day.

Don't try and do it all in one day.Breathe it rather than rush.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
