Same, and now I have two cats on me. Winning
I didn't see a single person for all 24 hours of the 24th of December
The Internet was quiet. The outside was quiet. Best day ever...
I starter SSRIs last month. With those and some support from my wife, I've gotten through this Christmas shockingly intact. Got my shopping done. Wrappped everything. Made breakfast for 9, and got the turkey in the oven before 10 am. Had a small period of overwhelm while everyone was opening gifts, but no meltdowns.
Best Christmas in several years!
Christmas Eve? Easy. Christmas Day? Hard.
Baked chocolate cookies and sweet potato pie.
I did the whole present / semi-religious bullshit with my kids years ago, but thankfully we've all left that behind. Now it's just another day of the year we get off because idiots believe in some bullshit. So happy day off because other idiots believe in same made up god day.
I would prefer to believe in days off as a fundamental human right, as well as a fair wage for a fair day, but you know, that's unrealistic given the sacrilegious level of dumbing down going around the world.
Poor kids
