Merry Christmas!
We stayed at my wife’s youngest son’s house last night, and I’m definitely missing being in my own (very comfortable) bed. I didn’t have a particularly good nights sleep and was awake well before we got up at 6.45am.
We are all round at my wife’s eldest son’s by 7.30am, opening presents and scoffing bacon baguettes before certain family members are due to be at work.
Then we are off to Stalham to see my mother and my brother and his family before getting back to Hevingham so that my wife can supervise the cooking of the Christmas dinner.
I’m feeling particularly knackered today, so I make myself comfortable on the sofa and spend a happy hour or three watching MTV and drinking KingGoblin whilst everyone else is slaving away in the kitchen.
I manage (just) to avoid falling asleep on the sofa, but it is a battle, and not related in the slightest to consumption of alcohol.
Dinner is eventually served just after 7pm and we all eat more than is strictly advisable.
I think I’m having some motivation issues again. I’m unsure if it’s just because I’m feeling so tired, but I really can’t be bothered at the moment. If it wasn’t for my wife and her family, I’d be perfectly content to shut myself away at home, sit in front of the fire and wait until the festive season is well and truly over. I’m going to self-medicate (cannabis) before I go to bed tonight. Hopefully I’ll get a better night’s sleep, and wake up with a more positive attitude tomorrow!
