    I hope you’re doing well now after your Covid bout! I had one in early December, and while it was mild, I still don’t feel quite right…

    Which sucks, especially because it’s the home stretch for Christmas now, and due to being sick (and generalized procrastination) I did NOT have enough time to get stuff done. Right now, there’s a small heap of half-wrapped presents looking at me, and a wholly unpacked suit case for travelling to home town tomorrow. I just can’t make myself do it right now. Thank god we’re not hosting.

    Also, my partner is barely able to function during December due to Christmas-related family trauma resurfacing, and while it’s getting better each year, nearly all of the emotional (and actual) christmas-related labour falls to me, while trying my best to be there for them. And also for myself, since I’m not doing so well this year, either.

    But I also know that it’s gonna be fine and relaxed and nice as soon as we’ve arrived. There are fun activities planned, and plenty of down-time and meeting with old friends, and I’m really looking forward to it. Just need to get over the last hurdles in a mad dash.

    Also, it’s winter solstice tomorrow, so additionally, sunlight-and-thus-seasonal-depression-wise, better days are ahead!
