Struggled awake from one of my "failure dreams" in which I've failed to prepare for something, my injured arm aching dully.
I don't need an analyst for dream interpretation. I'm terrified and frozen, as Christmas bears down on me like a bright SUV -- or a horde of cyclists. I'm healing, slowly and steadily, from my fall two and a half weeks ago, but I tire easily, and find myself slow to attempt even the least labour-intensive tasks.
Elder daughter arrives in two days; American Cousin arrives in a week. I'd so hoped to have everything prepared by then. I haven't even finished the damn online shopping.
Among the things I have been doing is uploading my favourite Christmas videos on to the Resident Fan Boy's YouTube channel, so we can watch them on the large screen television. In doing so, we've discovered that the RFB really needs to sign into his YouTube account, rather than just watching without doing so. Apparently, if you don't, the algorithms decide what might appeal to you, and put them into your "Watch Later" file. The RFB was horrified. I had to show him how to delete stuff. I'll spare you.
Most of my favourite Christmas offerings have shown up on my blog at some point, but I don't think this one has, probably because it's usually viral during the holidays, and is customarily shared without giving credit to the animator. Mind you, it's not that easy to give credit where credit is due, because there is surprisingly little information about Joshua Held online. I gather that he is an animator, film-maker, and writer. He was born in 1967 in Tuscany.
I leave you with this, as I've got a lot more procrastinating to do. (I'm sure you've already seen this anyway.)
