Sanctuary

[mig]

Thank the lord for small mercies.

Lit is here,I can escape from screaming kids,noisy neighbours and those dear,dear relatives I haven't seen since last year.

At times like this I remember why I haven't seen them since last year.

No this is not a 'bah humbug' thing.It's just that for 364 days of the year there's me,a small group of friends and 2 or 3 family
members.

No matter how much I know what Christmas day will be like the
reality is always overwhelming.

I have to go,they're starting another game,charades this time.
Roll on Boxing Day.

Sometimes distance - time and space - makes it easier to like some people.

Lit was my sanctuary when my family got to be too much on Sunday. Today, there are no extra family members around, so it's much calmer, for now.


Merry Christmas, everyone! Take lit breaks as often as needed to keep you sane.

I managed to escape for a while.


Had to drive my Aunt Babs home.

The cure was almost worse than the disease.

Her name isn't Barbara.I call her Babs cos that's what she does.
Babbles,endlessly.


Writes self note

Turn hearing aid back on.

Final thought

Well thanks to Lit. I managed to survive,more or less, sane.

Boxing Day.Peace,tranquility and off to the sales for a new scanner and camera.


Now,how do I avoid my cousin's New Year party?.
