It’s not my fault. I was left unsupervised.

Dear Dairy, thank god last week is now fully gone!

Last week was incredibly intense for multiple reasons and did not let up at all. No, I take that back. I managed a couple of hours relaxing on Thursday but it clearly wasn't enough to emotionally rebalance me for the weekend.

I am still in some pain/discomfort from big dental work though I finished the antibiotics now so hopefully there'll be no issues when I go back for the follow up appointment on Wednesday. Fortunately for my closest friends, it's meant that I've been literally quieter than usual...

I hosted my annual Christmas Dinner on Friday for some very special friends which went very well, and I didn't forget anything which is a great achievement as there's often an item still sitting in the oven or freezer or cupboard that I forgot to add to the table. And we finished the night with board games, as per usual also.

Saturday was mostly taken up with the family trip to our local independent garden centre.... which doesn't have a coffee shop or gift section... weirdly it only sells flowers and plants throughout the year.... to choose our Christmas tree. And then the box after box from storage brimming with increasingly cheesy decorations (because that's what kids like). By the end of the weekend, we are as Grotto-y as we're going to get. There's no dancing and singing tall figures of Santas or Rudolphs but we do have a train scene that whirrs around and around and around.

Then Sunday I collapsed and refused to do anything of importance except play on Sims4 as much as I was allowed.

Amongst all of this I've dealt with a couple of more private issues which included an argument, some physical pain, and a potential reconciliation - and none of them are directly related to each other.

Here is to a much better, calmer, easier week!

(I know. I've fucking jinxed it now.)

Thank you!

I mean, I'm always ready to pick up my sword and fight a battle but it'd be nice if I didn't have to slay this week.

I hope you have a great week ahead also!

Sounds like a wild week

Hey

The dental work and couple of personal issues aside, it was almost a normal week. But what would life be without constant challenges to keep you on your toes?! Quiet. Fuck, yes, it'd be quiet. I do like quiet.

Never mind. I'll try and aim for quiet in January.

I hope your December is going well!

 

[PotNoodle79]

To be fair, I can take or leave Christmas this year, except for the ending of Stranger Things

not too bad. I did have a few dental visits myself.

If you can leave it and you want to leave it, then leave it. I get so frustrated at the pressure society puts on people to buy the 'perfect' gift, slave over the 'perfect' turkey dinner, and pretend that all shitty people (family particularly) get to take your time because it's Christmas.

I see it every year where the stress of it all causes a mental crash in January. It's absolutely not worth that.

But Stranger Things - I'm relieved it's ending for the sake of not hanging on anymore. But man, what a ride.

It'll be a quiet Christmas and I'm ok with that. It's all the shite leading to it.
And yes, ST. Can't fucking wait.

About three years ago, we'd seen 5... 5!... Santas at different events during December, it's become ridiculous. Pantos, parties with different groups, fayres, school events... by the 25th we were all exhausted.

We now do a maximum of 2 of any given thing. We choose carefully what we're going to enjoy. The rest... crack on but leave us out of it. It's much more pleasant now and we still have energy to be joyous on the morning to match their excitement. At least until the mimosas kick in.

We had our work Christmas party Friday before last. Wasn't going to go but was encouraged to as it would be "good for me". Got shitfaced, didn't make a twat of myself and, pleasingly, the Christmas element was minimal.

Aside from that, I've avoided shops etc apart from necessary stuff. If I had kids no doubt I'd feel different.

But I don't.

Humbug,

Humbug,

I'm humbugging all over the fact that you got shitfaced and you didn't think it a good idea to send me drunk dick or a voice message blubbering over how good your life has been since I barged my way into it.

*sulks*

Nah, if you had kids you'd just drink more... That's not my coping strategy. Honest!
