Why I almost didn’t have a T13 this week

Thanks to Harlekwin for the T13 banner

1. I usually write my T13 post on Saturdays and Sundays and this weekend was just crazy. The babe was sick on Saturday and I had to do errands for her birthday on Sunday.

2. It was her birthday on Sunday and I have limited time on the internet at home due to some company policy. As much as possible, I don’t go online at home.

3. It’s Christmas week! I had cards to write and give out.

4. I had a tough time looking for the post office location. Seriously!

5. I had to buy a Christmas gift for our family Christmas party where we will exchange gifts.

6. I slept really late on December 24, waiting for something to happen. Nothing happened.

7. I was busy thinking of strategies how to get an excuse to be absent on the 25th; consistently peeking on my boss’s cabin and analyzing his every move.

8. I had to replace lights outside because our Christmas lights in the balcony decided to die three days before Christmas.

9. I was busy chatting with my many brothers and my sister, scattered around the globe (ok, exaggerating — 3 are in the home country though one is in a different place and one brother is in Japan. My lovely sister is left in the family home).

10. Instead of blogging and making a T13 at night, I slept early at 9 pm on most days this week. I’m never functional enough to write a decent post at late nights anyway.

11. I became too immersed in doing another Thursday Thirteen list at my other blog.

12. Year 2007 will soon be over and I was busy making my new year’s resolutions.

13. Everyone is busy for the holidays to even read TT’s!
