Putting it bluntly, Christmas was a bit shit this year. This was for various reasons but the main one being I worked 12 hours on both Christmas day and boxing day. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, it was my choice and it's pay day today so I'm going to meet a friend for lunch (like I need to eat food) and go shopping with the extra money but all work and no play gets a bit dull.
I had some cracking nights out in December. On New Years Eve I went out with some friends (an old school friend amongst others) to a casino. I went out on the town with my good drinking buddy Sarah (what a night that was, I don't even remember the names ;)), I had a few dates (least said sooner mended I think), I went out with Sam (from work and we drank doubles through a straw and got very drunk) and I met one of our taxi drivers for a few drinks and high antics. We also had our works Xmas party and I met the girls from school for lunch. However, Christmas was very quiet and I am feeling a bit deflated at the moment.
I just think it is a big work up and lots of stress just for a few hours. It's nice nice to catch up with friends and family but it always brings home the people you miss, like my dad who lives in Spain and my good friend Jo who died in the Summer. It was her kids first Christmas without her and that makes me sad, although Jo would hate anyone feeling sad. Bless her, may she forever rest in peace.
It's also an excuse to eat too much. Last year I managed to control this but I've not managed to this year. I am really trying to get back on track but finding it hard at the moment. Perhaps I'll have more success after Weigh In, talking of which that is where I am going now, to a WW meeting but not to WI, just to help.
