I've got Christmas cards done, gifts for all the parents bought and almost ready to mail. Eric and the kids are almost done, too, but I have more time to work on them since I don't have to mail anything. I've been listening to Christmas music more, and that's helped. Our travel plans have finally fallen into place, and that's helped, too. While I won't see the kids on Christmas, we will see them the next day. I'm the only one distressed about it. :-/
There are some other things related to Eric's job that I can't get into now that are a source of stress. When we were moving here I dreamed occasionally about being lost in the airport. Those dreams are back. Doesn't take a genius to figure out what they likely mean. I'm trying to make it a point to eat well, get some movement, do something quiet and relaxing, and keep lines of communication with Eric wide open, and it's helping me to not freak out. Hopefully the other shoe will drop this week. Until they do, the primary coping mechanism will be distraction and the secondary will be showing myself kindness and grace.
I hope y'all are well and celebrating (or not) in your favorite way.

What an uncomfortable week it sounds like you're enduring, but you're taking positive steps to handle it as well as possible.
