A friend suggested that I get a pad of paper and write a number on each page for the next several days.

Then each day I am to tear off a sheet … crumple it up … and throw it out.

The crumpling was to have given me great satisfaction.

But I am half afraid that someone here will discover it … and ask why my countdown ends on Friday instead of Wednesday like everyone else’s mental countdown.

When the sheets are gone, so too will be the chaos gone.

I promise that when it is all over … once I have my well-earned Nervous Breakdown … I will explain in greater detail all the Chaos that has been happening for these past several … months, actually.

Why good old Happy Holly has not been her normal Happy self.

And why I might be looking forward to a much-needed, well-earned, Nervous Breakdown.

Not the sort of thing most folks look forward to with anticipation.

At least that’s the plan. Several days of Moderate Chaos, One day of Exceedingly Great Chaos, One day of Great Chaos … then my Nervous Breakdown.

I have it scheduled … the Nervous Breakdown. For Friday the 13th. Lots of Chaos between now and then. Not a lot of time to be creative here. But certainly by the Monday after my Nervous Breakdown, I should be MUCH better.

SO here is the Official Countdown …

Tuesday – Moderate Chaos – 10 Days to go till my Nervous Breakdown.
Wednesday – Moderate Chaos – 9 Days to go till my Nervous Breakdown.
Thursday – Moderate Chaos – 8 Days to go till my Nervous Breakdown.
Friday – Moderate Chaos – 7 Days to go till my Nervous Breakdown.
Saturday – Moderate Chaos – 6 Days to go till my Nervous Breakdown.

Sunday – Moderate Chaos – 5 Days to go till my Nervous Breakdown.
Monday – Moderate Chaos – 4 Days to go till my Nervous Breakdown.
Tuesday – Moderate Chaos – 3 Days to go till my Nervous Breakdown.
Wednesday – Exceedingly Great Chaos – 2 Days to go till my Nervous Breakdown.
Thursday – Great Chaos – 1 Days to go till my Nervous Breakdown.
Friday – No More Chaos – 0 Days to go till my Nervous Breakdown.

Wish me luck.
