xmas stress

It’s Christmas again, though it feels like the last one was only a few months ago. It’s dull how quickly it comes around, and it’s the same old stuff every year. My Christmas spirit is gone, probably killed off when the local council stopped the fair. Usually, the season kicks off with Halloween, then the fair, then Christmas, but not this year—it’s all different. I’m not having the best day either. I went to Tesco and nearly walked out without paying; the lady called me back since it was only five quid. I think I was in some kind of dream world, maybe distracted by the film I made on the way there with my smart glasses, which can do this hyperlapse thing that speeds up footage and lets you add music.

 When I got home, I saw a parcel had been delivered. At first, I thought it had been taken next door and put in their shed, but it turned out to be in mine. I just hope there’s no CCTV catching me going into their garden. They’ve got a gate that needs fixing, and I thought the delivery person had put it in the wrong place—but I was wrong. I seem to have a bit of fogginess in my mind these days, which is a real bother.

Anyway it will all be over in a few days and I stop being so grouchy hopefully .  At least it is the the  first day of winter and the days will ge longer agian and we can get out o the darkness and into spring. Time flies by really I should not wish my lie away but xmas has a habit of maing me do that , the thing goes on for way too long There is  nothing I can do about it except go to a country where they don't bother with it which are proablby few and far betwenen as it make money for people

I go through this “I hate Christmas” routine every year, though I used to have a little bit of Christmas spirit. It’s been completely knocked out of me by factors like overkill, I guess. At least I have an excuse to make brownies with this new recipe I came up with. They’re supposed to be healthy since they’re made with avocado and no-calorie syrup. The ones I made and froze turned out really nice—too nice, actually. I guess the recipe is pretty much foolproof.

The weather was nicer today but its dark again now, oh well as i say we ar on the way up now. I wonder if  we wil ahve a nice summer like last summer again the chances ar slim I shall just have to wait and seee

I got a new boiler yesterday, which I hope will save me money. I only got it thanks to some people putting pressure on the housing association. I’m not entirely sure how it works yet, but I’ve got the manual and will read it someday. I’ll probably end up paying more for a while until I get the hang of it. The water still takes ages to warm up, but it’s digital now, and they say it will save money—though we’ll see. There’s not much need for heating at the moment since it’s warm for this time of year. It’s strange how the weather can affect your mood; rain, darkness, and gloominess always seem to bring on a bad mood.

 II’ve been spending a lot of time on Facebook lately. I hadn’t bothered for a while, but now I’m posting videos since I got the new smart glasses from Meta. The updates are wild—you can hyperlapse a video or slow it down. The real update I’m waiting for, though, is conversation focus. They’ve been saying it’s coming for months, and it seems to be available in the US and Canada. It would be nice if it arrived on Christmas Day, but then again, I’m on my own, so it might not be much use.
