It's the most wonderful time...
Dec. 24th, 2021 07:56 amPopping in a day early because I expect tomorrow to be quite busy enough :D
I finished work yesterday, which is really late for the university. But now I'm off until 10 Jan (the uni is closed anyway until 3 Jan, and I've used 4 days of leave). I prefer to have time off after Christmas. I'm REALLY tired but there's nothing particular I can point at as the cause. I'm just ready for this year to be over.
Of course, there's a small thing called Christmas to get through first! But I don't see Christmas as effort, really.
Today, I'm off to visit my mother and step-father, then I have some shopping to do - some last-minute stuff and some keeping-the-cupboards-stocked stuff - on the way home.
Tomorrow, we're having our Christmas Day service on Zoom, which makes everything so much easier. I'll get the turkey in the oven early and then it'll be ready whenever we're ready to eat. But cooking a roast dinner is one of life's pleasures for me. I just know what the next thing to do is without really thinking about it, so it doesn't stress me.
Sunday we're expecting daughter & co but the grandson has a rash that LOOKS like chicken pox (which would be his third dose!) but the pharmacist said he thought it was an allergic reaction to something. He's well enough in himself but still has the rash, so we'll have to see how it goes.
And on Monday, I hibernate. My most pressing decision will be whether to watch The Witcher or play Okami :D
Happy Christmas, DW - see you on the other side!
