Out of Egypt:

now all that's left is the partying

Three hours, two presents, one ham, and some fried plantains later, I'm ready for the inconveniently-adjacent Christmas parties to which I'll be going tomorrow. Apparently my coworkers and small group-mates decided to do the exact same thing on the exact same day.

Thus, the rush this evening, with my back sore to begin with. Is it the stress of helping set up an online college before January 1st or is it the strain of carrying the surprisingly-heavy folding machine down to my coworker's car? Or is it perhaps both?

In the end, I suppose it doesn't really matter which. Strange as it may sound, I feel like I have to lie down for a bit before I can sleep. I think I deserve it.
