to own up to films making me cry. Then, to go and watch it all from the very beginning once more, because I missed the beginning.....
And, you know what? I cried all over again.
There are times when I really do wonder about myself.
Apart from weepiness and lethargy, I think I've more or less shaken off all the lurgies that have been lurking. Which is just as well, because tomorrow, and the next, ooo, twenty four days or so are going to be Very Busy.
Now, just to psyche myself up for my annual seasonal clashes. How to keep Advent when I work in a world that thinks that from here on in is Christmas. The themes of watching and waiting are starkly very real for me this year. Scarily so. I'd love nothing better than to hibernate from here on in!
But, I'm a church musician, who also works in a world where Christmas has more or less begun... I begin carol playing this coming weekend. The week after also sees some concentrated carol playing. Then, the week after that, I'm trying desperately not to think about it at all. I think I have one day free of Christmas Carols. I keep consoling myself with one fact. It's not as bad as when I was working in Christian bookselling, though. Honestly.
I think it's time to go horizontal again... I've come over all weak and feeble just thinking about it all!
