Just Another Day

Here's hoping everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.

As for me, yesterday was just another day. Oh... I went to my mother's house for dinner, but not because I was looking forward to it.

We had a small gathering for dinner; Me, Mom, my godson, my brother, my uncle, and my ex husband (she always includes him for the holidays.) We ate the expected food; turkey, potatoes, stuffing, blah, blah, blah. Had the expected desserts; pumpkin pie, apple pie, cheesecake, blah, blah, blah.

We had the prerequisite family arguing and squabbling... naturally.

And after it was all over and done, I left & came home to my dark, empty house and proceeded to cough and sneeze until I fell asleep.

Basically, just another day.

However, yesterday marked the official start of my seasonal depression. It's now officially the Christmas season, and I absolutely hate it. The music, the tv commercials, the expense, the hustle & bustle, the phony jovialness. Hate it, hate it, hate it.

Each year I threaten to boycott Christmas, and each year I am forced to pretend like all the years before, that Christmas is a wonderful time of the year.

This year, I'm pretty much broke, thanks to my brother... getting him back on his feet cost me thousands... so I can't escape to a warm beach somewhere, but next year... NEXT YEAR... it's palm trees and Pina Colada's for me. Just you wait and see!
