So, I’m planning a return trip to BR for Christmas.

Barring the fact that this will be a long, much needed respite from my regular life in Austin, I’m not really looking forward to the trip this time around. Why, you may ask?

It isn’t that I’ll be spending a crapload of time with the Fam- although that can be a bit of stress in its own right.

It’s not the fact that I have to spend money on Christmas presents- already done that, in fact. Even have them all wrapped, to boot.

No, the reason I’m not looking forward to the trip is solely because of the day I’ll be on the roads to BR.

December 23rd. Friday. The Friday before the Christmas weekend.

Oh, this is gonna suck.

Out.
