It’s 9:00 (or thereabouts) on Christmas Eve. The kids are already asleep. I got everything I needed to get for relatively cheap.
I’m actually doing kind of…okay. I don’t have any depression kickin’. There’s no drama going on in my life. Things are just kind of going…fine.
It feels really, really weird to feel kind of…normal.
Anyone else? Anyone not angsting, not panicking, not having horrible things happen, not getting particularly introspective? Just kind of…having an all-around decent time of it this Traditional Winter Holiday?
Lord, when’s the last time I started a thread in HERE?
Yup, I’m doing the feeling normal thing, too. It’s a welcome change from the last Christmas season when my depression was working overtime. Isn’t it odd what a relief it is to feel OK for the holidays? You’d think feeling good should be expected, but for me… well, let’s just say it’s an incredible Christmas present.
Now that you mention it, it’s oddly calm around here too. I still have some presents to wrap but I like wrapping presents. The daughter’s boyfriend is coming over tomorrow and so is my ex husband-the father of Jr Ranger II. I don’t even have to cook because the boyfriend is bringing a ham, the ex is bringing a couple of sides and the daughter is baking dessert.
