PART TWO
TEXOKIE’S QHRISTMAS MELTDOWN

*Texokie wanders down the hall. All is quiet in the Oracle and LexiQon offices….. but there IS a light shining from under the door of Mother of Dragons (and Dragonlet’s) office. Texokie knocks cursorily on it, and walks in, bed head and all, without MoD(aD) actually having the chance to answer….. as a result of which, texokie is nailed with the suction cup on a nerf dart dead center of her forehead, which sticks there, bouncing lightly.*

Mother! AAAAAaaaaaaaarrrrhgh!!!! I’m SO FAR BEHiiIIiiIIiiIIiiiiiiiiind! What am I gonna doooooooo????

*Mother of Dragons (and Dragonlets,) after first ascertaining that her little Dragonlet, texokie, was ok, and that the nerf dart really didn’t hurt her, began thinking of the problem. She was feeling MUCH the same way, but this particular Whining Problem was in front of her, and didn’t show ANY sign of going away any time soon on its own. She graciously receives the nerf dart which texokie hands her*

What is it, texokie? What’s the matter???

OH Mother of Dragons(and Dragonlets), I am SOOOOO far behind! I have data from three or four digs stacked up to write, and just have not found the “round tuits “ required to get them written and posted! I’m about 600 posts behind in my reading on the Thread!

I was in the process of prepping to post a 6 part piece on something, when Darlin and I looked at the Qlock and noticed it was past midnight! We decided I should hold off until later..... And I was going to read ALL the posts on the thread….then when I get to my computer, lo and behold - FRESH Q!... Then there is the matter of having some thoughts to post about some recent Drops, but no time to properly research them! And I also have swirling thoughts on the Fresh Q droppings which I’d like to post,.... but guess what.... I’M POSTING BLIND!!! I haven’t read the thread and have NO IDEA what others are SAYING!!! and I just KNOW that if I post my initial impressions late - after forty-eleven people will have made the same point, it will make me sound like an idiot!!!..... which come to think of it, often happens anyway! But no matter….

I’M BeHIIIIIIiiiiind!

Q is dropping crumbs like a Dragon drops Fewmets! I may not be able to actually follow this current thread, no matter how much I want to! Do I post? Do I read, work with the puzzles, and research on the New Q Fewmets? Do I go back to bed? Do I do write ups? ...WHAT???!!! Should I just post the most finished thing? And forget the rest??? I DON’ WANNA DOOOOO THAT!!!!!! I WANNA DO IT AAAAAAAaaaaaaaLLLL!

*texokie glances at the Qalendar on Mother of Dragons (and Dragonlet’s) desk and complains, almost, but not quite, at the top of her whining capacity:*

OH MOTHER OF DRAGONS, I HAVEN’T EVEN SHOPPED FOR QHRISTMAS YET!!!!!

*Texokie sinks to the floor in a despondent posture. Because texokie seemed most upset by this last point, Mother of Dragons and Dragonlets addresses this item on the List of Woes first:*

I thought you were going to give out those walking sticks?

THEY’RE NOT FINISHED!!! AND CHRISTMAS IS SO CLOSE!!!! AND BESIDES, YOU AND MOST OF THE OTHERS ALREADY HAAAAaaaaaaVE WALKING STICKS!!! WHAT AM I GONNA DOOOOoooooo????? AND I’M A TERRIBLE PRESENT WRAPPER!!!!! HOW ARE THOSE STICKS GONNA FIT IN THE WRAPPER BAGS, ANYWAY????”

I know you’ll think of something!

WHAT??!! ALL I CAN THINK OF - NO - ALL **I WANT** TO THINK OF IS Q!!! WILL MY NORMIE FAMILY UNDERSTAND THE Q WREATH, THE Q T-SHIRTS I’VE MADE? AND THE Q QUPQAKES AND QOOKIES??? NOT TO MENTION THE MEMES I PRINT OUT AND PASTE ON THE TREE ORNAMENTS??? EVERYTHING I DO EVERY DAY IS Q!!!

*texokie pauses for a big breath. Dragonlet texokie finally runs down at last, sitting in the floor trying not to be overwhelmed by it all. She whines softly now, which is a pleasant switch in volume for Mother of Dragons (and Dragonlets.)*

*Little does she know ALL that Mother of Dragons (and Dragonlets) endures on behalf of her and all of her Dragons and Dragonlets - but being just a little dragonlet, texokie knows that the Mother takes valuable time and listens and comprehends and has compassion, wisdom, and advice..... and even sometimes, QOOKIES! She is inspired to continue with her loud complaining*

Oh Mother of Dragons (and Dragonlets), what is one poor little dragonlet to DOooooo?

If I give them Q presents, will they still LIKE ME????? All the good stuff in the stores is GONE!!!! WHAT AM I GONNNAAAAAA DOOOOOOOOoooooooo???????

*Mother of Dragons (and Dragonlets) ponders a moment, with her brow wrinkled in concentration. Then she brightens:*

You have ladies mostly left to buy for, don’t you? I know they are normies, but what if you bought some “Q” charms and strung them on some pretty ribbon for necklaces? And if you have guys to buy for that you forgot, put their Q on a key chain! Hobby stores usually have a lot of Qs left on the charm racks. If your normie loved ones ask “What’s this?” You can just say,” I’m pretty sure you will find out soon.... but in the meantime, just know you are a Quintessential part of my life!”

OH MOM!!!! That’s a good idea! Do you think they’ll like that????

Oh, I’m sure of it, little one. Who wouldn’t want a “Q?”

*texokie’s face lights up and Q charms dance in her head.... along with the walking sticks paradiing in her mind like the Disney broomsticks in “Sorcerer’s Apprentice”. Mother of Dragons (and Dragonlets) is glad to see the happy face on the little dragonlet. Mother of Dragons (and Dragonlets) can see the wheels turning again, and is really happy she was able to help get the rake handle out from between the spokes of the wheels of the mental wagon that had almost turned over. *

BUT MOTHER, WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THE OTHER STUFF???? I’M SO BEHIND ON MY Q WORK!!!!
