this is not my beautiful house

Are there crash courses on meditation?

Are there crash courses on meditation?

Because serenity fucking now already

Got an email at work the other day subject line OUTSTANDING CREATIVE! and I thought well well about time somebody noticed because all those Christmas campaigns with standards up to here like we’re suddenly fucking Satchi & Satchi so a bit of recognition was a most welcome surprise you know and I wondered which campaign they were referring to or was it a five-way tie so I opened the email and there was a Christmas list of things yet to be done as in out-fucking-standing the still-to-do kind.

Which is when I had the crash course idea

Thought maybe if I learned quick I could conjure a storm for isolation purposes and then I started thinking about a million dollars instead but after going for groceries yesterday I’m not sure that would cover it and a storm seems to be brewing without my help (unless it’s beginner’s luck) so maybe I’ll just conjure a cleaning lady who wouldn’t mind a bit of overtime until Christmas.

Because I don’t know where the fuck to start

I just did the area down by the front door maybe a foyer in your house but a fucking danger zone in mine and by did I mean half-did so the stairs have piles on them now I have to distribute evenly throughout the house I guess or maybe into Christmas stockings because I still haven’t gone out for stocking stuffers although it’s the kind of shopping I adore when money doesn’t feel real but can’t really see it happening this year so I hope they don’t mind nuts and oranges maybe some toothpaste, a magic eraser each, some spider plant babies requiring urgent care, bobbins – an array, a single knitting needle, screwdrivers and nails – an assortment, parsley for all, and whatever else old Hazel digs up.

Also and I wasn’t sure I was going to admit this but I decided in the spirits of the season, and if you’re offering make mine a double, I’d get the vacuum out and so I lifted up the mat and found not one but several mounds of previous sweeping under it so you see what I am dealing with here, right.

I have a radio spot again this Christmas but it’s more of a splotch

Did I tell you about the one last Christmas? Probably not I sounded so weird and I still do – but I am a little more wtf about it this year I guess – so after it has aired I will post a link if you’d like to cringe along with me. I did it in one take so there are a couple of awkward pauses and off-key singing and remarks and if I insulted you I didn’t mean it those parts were just my nerves talking shit.

Pre-holiday chaos aside we all of us have to take a minute to see and feel the wonderful bits mixed in with the madness and if you can’t find any just yet, maybe try what I did yesterday and shove a couple of bills in your pocket for the people outside the grocery store or wherever you go – give the old it is better to give than to receive a whirl – an adage true only for the privileged
