I have to go to the store today to get sodas, beer,wine, and all the party paraphenalia for Saturday. Today is a good day to die. I have my power and my shield, and I can do this thing, I know I can. Stick to the basics - don't be looking a ornaments or stollen or fancy serving plates. Eyes to my list, I will fear no evil, and spend only what is necessary and essential.
Then, next big hurdle, is to lug it all up the front steps and into the house. At great risk to hip and knee, I will do this appointed task. It is not raining today, so the gods have spoken. Today is THE DAY.
And afterward, collapsed on my bed, I will read something light and funny and without intellectual content. The dogs will comfort me. And by Sunday, it will all be gone, but I will have feted my friends and will be happily thinking of conversations and laughter. It's worth it. Definitely.
