It is a funny time of year, the week between Christmas and New Year. The build up to Christmas is over, New Years has not yet happened. This week of limbo feels to me like I am waiting for the old year to die, before the new year is born.
I'm blah. I just want to sleep in and be lazy. Occasionally I'm happy to play the odd board game - someone say Trivial Pursuit or Scrabble - I'm so there, but otherwise leave me alone. I can feel myself going into my hermit mode. I've had enough of people right now, and my idea of hell is a packed NYE in the city, or a busy shopping centre.
Am I the only one feeling like this?
Stuff from my life
About Me
- thisisme
- I'm in my 30's and trying to become a reformed workaholic. I've decided it is time to bite the bullet and try working to live, and not living to work. I'm stepping out of my (dis)comfort zone and getting a life.

Oh, so blah. I didn't get fully dressed till 2:30pm today.
You are not alone!
Nope, you're not alone. If it were entirely up to me, I would have taken the decorations down already. Actually, going out on NYE would be change for us.
Belated happy birthday, btw!

Hi thisisme, happy (belated)birthday!
Yup, I feel a bit 'bleah', too. Kind of suspended. Wish I could loll around and sleep in, too, but there are those dang kids of mine to look after. Why oh why did I procreate? (I'm kidding, OK!...mostly kidding, anyway!)
Tomorrow should be better - some champagne, some sense of ending things and a fresh start.
Bring on 2007!
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my god, there's so much useful info above!
