Hello all.
I am kinda sad to report that my Christmas depression still hasn't really gone away. I've caught myself on 3 different occasions actually saying OUT LOUD, "Oh my gosh I wish Christmas would just be over already so everything can go back to being normal." I almost feel like I should be kicked out of here for even thinking something like that, but that's how bad I feel. I worked a looooong shift at Hallmark today and I am just over people being horrible. I don't know WHAT is in the air this year, at least in my part of the world, but it's awful. I have 8 days to get over this feeling and I hope it happens SOON.
I'm also pretty upset today because due to my work schedules, DF and I are unable to attend our really good friends' housewarming party down in Maryland. We haven't seen them much since they moved in September (we have maybe seen them twice since then...we used to see them every weekend if not more often) and we were looking forward to tonight. But then Kohl's had to go and schedule me at 4am tomorrow, so there was no point in making a 5 hour round trip to only be able to stay for 3 hours, maybe less. I also had to miss DF's mom's side of the family's Christmas party, which I had yet to miss, because of working at Hallmark all day today. He is still there and I am just in such a bad mood from work that I feel like my presence would bring the party down. So I am sitting here watching a tv show about drunk and disorderly drivers with the dog and kitty.
Tomorrow we are getting together with some good friends, which will hopefully raise my spirits. We also might be hanging with our best friends tonight, we are supposed to watch Christmas Vacation and if anything can pull me out of a funk, that movie should do it!
I hope you all are having a good weekend...I love reading all of your happy Christmas-y posts...hoping I can join in on that soon!
