As the Month and Year Draw to a Close

by Chris McGinty of AccordingToWhim.com

Has it felt like December 2019 has just flown by to everyone? The only reason I ask is because it’s already three weeks in and it feels like it just started; plus, I’ve heard at least two other people marvel that the month is almost over. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that we’re focusing on the arrival of Christmas rather than the arrival of the end of the month. There is still a week and a half left of the month, so it’s not exactly the end.

I think it’s mostly that my bills are due around day 26 of any given month, and while I’m a little early on paying them this month, it’s not like I’m super early. There’s also the fact that while I’m not a holidays person, so I don’t buy gifts for the holidays, opting instead to buy people gifts when I see something they would like (and when I have money for it). But even not buying gifts, I find myself feeling a need to get things done before Christmas Eve, because things shut down for a couple of days.

Either way, I’m somewhat looking forward to 2020. It’s not because I didn’t enjoy 2019. It’s not because 2020 holds any specific meaning, except for us cyberpunk fans. I just think I’m going to get to a number of projects that I’ve just not had the time for in the past. If that’s the case, I think 2020 will be interesting.
