for I am full of cold, sneezles, and wheezles. (No measles, though I did that aged 5. First migraine aged 13 and 'flu, proper 'flu, aged 45.) 15 consecutive sneezes!! I'm staying home, wrapped up warm, and keeping my germs to myself. I am very happy to be doing so!
Still, I am not full of anxiety as I was last year over employment and frozen pipes and guttering. Employment, whilst not ideal, is currently settled, and pays just enough to live on. Hopefully, the work done during the course of the year means the pipes and guttering will be better in more wintery weather!
Nor am I dealing with a boiler crisis, in a new home, which was the year before last.
Nor am I over-working as an organist or in any voluntary capacity in church. I am in no rush to return to either of those roles.
Nor am I dealing with unreasonable expectations from other people... that's lovely after many years creating Christmas for other people. I can see me wanting solitary Christmasses for a while to come because of that!
I finished all my preparations on Thursday, food, new books and DVDs, and apart from a trip to 8.00 a.m. Eucharist tomorrow morning at the nearest church (no buses, so can't get to the church I've begun going to.) am not planning on going out for a few days now.
Happy Christmas.
