"I expect it means that you'll spend the day covering every inch of my house with christmas decorations," she said, "and forget to put away all the boxes."
"right you are," I said.
so I did just that. except I put away the boxes this year, since I'm 23 and responsible and I never forget to put away boxes or rile up my brother and get into giggle fits during thanksgiving dinner or anything like that.
it was a stressful weekend and decorating the house was part of my recovery program. there was public humiliation on two instruments. they ask me to fill in for the church organist and I say yes. why do I always say yes? it was particularly painful this time because I was somehow tricked into conducting the choir for their opening song. the experience took me to a previously-unattainable level of agony. performing two hymns on the organ - an instrument I have been playing for approximately two-and-a-half weeks - was effortless in comparison.
my old pal pam and I carried out the other part of my recovery.

I got two minutes for hooking.
