Holy Cow!

How can it be the end of November already?

When I was young I used to laugh when 'old people' used to talk about how fast time flew. Now I'm one of them.

It seems like it was just All Saints Day on November 1st, and then I was going to the polls to vote. Veteran's Day came and went in a flash. We had two out of town family birthdays to send presents for, and then it was time to think about Thanksgiving. Now tomorrow the calendar is going to turn again.

I need for things to slow down!

  1. When you figure out how to slow down time, let me know. I need to know as soon as possible.

  2. I think popular media has a lot to answer for in this respect. Public holidays and festivals are endlessly talked up with a sort of febrile enthusiasm and artificial jollity.

    1. I hadn't thought about it that way before but it sounds like a valid theory.

  10. I'm sure finding this out. I'm always at the end of my weekly pill container wondering where the week went.

  12. I didn't realize until almost noon that today is the 1st of December. I knew it was coming but still, so soon that I was caught off guard.

    1. Similar to what happened to me yesterday, when some end of the month reminders popped up.
