I was with my family but since my break-up in the end of September, I've been out of it even if I put up a good showing. I was briefly happy due to a new prospect but we drifted apart and she was kind of a flake anyway... Anywho, this was the first holiday season I wasn't truly invested in even celebrating with family. Part of it was work, part of it is a bad chest cold I'm fighting off, but I also had a horrible year too (most of it being related to that relationship and other trials.) I want 2018 to be a fresh start for me. OK, no pity party here, just stating what my holiday experience was like this year.
I hosted Christmas dinner for my father (86, has dementia) and two of my single friends. We stuffed ourselves into oblivion (I made WAY too much food) and Pop read a magazine on the couch and listened to Christmas music, while my friends and I did an art project (painting picture frames) in the kitchen and then played Trivia Pursuit while snacking on dessert items and making sure my dad got to try all the sweets.
I really wish I'd stuck to my original plan of a singles New Year's Eve cruise like I did last year. Would have taken my mind off of being alone yesterday. I would have been busy packing!
Cruised You Tube all day. Pretty much like any other day minus the daily trip to Trader Joe's.
