Sigh of relief (For another year)

Well Christmas is finally over, I know there are those that enjoy this period and that’s perfectly fine but for me as usual there was a slow creep of dread thinking about the fact that I will have to spend long amounts of time around others and be expected to be merry and cheerful. My clothes smelt like kitchen, my nerves shot from the barking dog, relaxation goes out the window when you have to pick up every little crumb the kids drop incase the mother in law has a panic attack about it. Social hangovers are real, I slept 14 hours or thereabouts last night! I never do that, I must have needed it. Hope everyone is doing well!

  • I will give a big sigh of relief when we get past 1st of January, although my Christmas was quieter than yours. 

    I became exhausted in the week leading up to Christmas Day as I had too much on and didn’t have enough time on my own to recover. I haven’t much on over the next week so I am glad to get back to doing what I want to do, when I want to do it, and to eating my usual food at the usual time.

    You must have needed your 14 hours sleep last night. I needed more sleep than I got these last few days, but my mind kept me awake when I wanted to sleep,

  • I use a lot of energy ignoring my urges and wants to not be part of the rituals. Once I’m running low on that ability I’ll start pacing a little and drinking water more as maybe some way of looking like I’m doing something.
