Well, I try my best to be just like I am
But everybody wants you to be just like them

I've been knackered by depression lately. I couldn't sleep last night and spent all night ruminating about what a horrible employee / person I was when I was younger. Oddly, this song came to mind as a portent of things to come.

On the way home.

Trying not to fall asleep while working.

WAKE UP!

Watching / listening to the yule log channel on the big TV.

I convinced myself to put up some decorations.

I have been invited to my sister's house, I have nothing to give my nieces or nephews. I hope I don't drag down the festivities

I'm glad you did a little decorating.  I don't know how many nieces and nephews you have or their ages, but getting a little gift shouldn't be difficult.  I find teens love cash and gift cards and the little ones just want a surprise.

One foot in front of the other.

We've decided to have a no muss no fuss christmas. No decorations, no cards, limited gifts, no wrapping. Eating out both 24th and 25th, probably at the casino.

We also simplified a bit. Other than gifts for the grandchildren, the other presents are for a White Elephant exchange.

Since Christmas Eve is on Tuesday, and that's my usual day to host, we are having Taco Tuesday...though my son is not real happy about it. It will be cheaper than the traditional meal and we all like tacos and the goodies that go with them.

The kids here in town will have the real deal meal on Christmas day with their in-laws.
