So I ordered a Christmas tree online obvz and was unsure about it. It arrived yesterday and I was able to drag it in myself which was already a red flag. Usually it’s too heavy and my fella has to do it. Anyway I unpack it and I’m like bleeping helllll this is tit. Phone my fella. He’s like ‘I’m sure it’s fine. You’re being dramatic.’ He gets home and he’s like ‘omg what the duck is that.’ I keep looking at trying to love it but I can’t. I’m furious at it. As the night goes on we’re proper laughing at it but I can’t stand it. I send quite a funny email to the company saying I wasn’t expecting an exact replica of what I saw online but something in the same region. This Christmas tree is sad and pathetic and makes me feel sad to look at.. Anyway they’ve come back to me advising me they’re sorry and will ship me another one. I’m concerned that the second tree is going to be equally as tit as the first one. They’re also not collecting this one so I’m potentially stuck with two ugly tree’s…
Had my own little Phoebe Buffay insanity moment where I felt bad for the sad tree that wasn't able to impress anyone I need to get a life. *hugs the tree so it won't be too sad*
We just took ourselves for a little walk around the block to look at Xmas lights and it made my brain feel a bit lighter for a bit. So wholesome to see the magic of Xmas through little mans eyes and ignore the tit show the world is in for a bit.
My fella has darts tonight and apaz it’s THE biggest match of the season. He’s playing his enemy pub apparently and there’s a few people on this team he doesn’t like. So this is BIG apparently
he just went to me ‘where are my earphones?’ I gave him them and he said ‘thanks I wanna listen to some music to motivate me on my way to darts’ I asked what he’s gonna listen to and he replies ‘smack my witch up’
I have just been fed my tea by a new nurse who had clearly never fed anyone before. She kept holding the fork 5 cm away from my mouth, and I am a bit, I can't move my head up please put the fork closer. For every single forkful.
Am laying on the bed now, going to read for a while and then watch the football. Mr Jelly has taken the children up to watch it live, he kept them off of school today so they could go and have lunch with his parents on the way. The little one's school have already told me off for this via email. Am ignoring. Feel like responding and saying you send kids home if they cough twice so what difference does it make.
I did get an Ocado order today with some nice treats in and my sister sent me a really lovely letter in the post today. It was so nice. The lady in the room opposite me has more Christmas cards than me so have told everyone to send me one so I can be the winner of the Christmas card competition that exists only in my head.
I know I sound like a complete whiny witch and other people are going through so much worse, but I feel like I'll implode if I don't get it out of my head...
I'm really struggling right now. It just feels like Covid will never end. There's the outbreak at NH's work, people are my work are getting ill today (hopefully not Covid but thank duck I didn't go to the Christmas evening out!) The media are salivating at the bit to continue to tear this country apart at the seams. Brexit was bad enough, but the tribalism around Covid is somehow even worse. We're almost certainly (99.9%) going to lockdown again. My job is, theoretically, very safe, but some others in my office aren't and we only rehired in Aug/Sep after struggling without those roles filled. There's going to be so many kids struggling with being locked in with their abusive families. So many kid who have loving families, but won't get the chance to socialise with other kids. So many people unemployed. So many people struggling with their mental health. So many people struggling with their physical health with appointments cancelled again.
To top it all off, Christmas is hard enough as it is with holdover drama from my evil witch of a sister. Because of said drama my parent's alcoholism is even worse this time of year. My mum's off her head by 3pm now. On a weekday, because "why not, it's Christmas."
Now people are panic buying at the local supermarkets again, because they haven't learned from the last three times they did this.
It just feels like it will never, ever end. And there are so many people who are "I'm alright Jack" and gagging for another lockdown, either not realising or possibly not caring how bad it will hurt so many people. Not locking down sucks. Locking down sucks. Everything sucks.
Sorry to be so miserable. I'm going to brave going to the Morrissons now to stock up on some food (stock up, not stockpile, I'm not planning on getting 150 toilet rolls and 20 10kg bags of rice ) and get some really easy foods that can be kept in the cupboard so that I don't have to think about cooking or shopping. Then it's a big weight off my shoulders so I can just think less in general and switch my brain off a bit more.
We’ve cancelled our works do because the impact of all the team getting pinged would be devastating. We’re not a big team anyway. It’s really galling making sacrifices for nearly two years and then walking into Tesco and seeing some arse wearing his mask around his neck the second he walks past security.
Today has just been *one of these days*. Had an overwhelming day at uni with two tests I was pretty nervous about, decided to treat myself to a Starbucks and spilled the coffee all over myself all while wearing a cream jumper and blue jeans (the poor jeans I also wore yesterday). So that’s another load of washing for me.
At this point I just have to accept that 2021’s a tit year. I thought 2020 was a tit one but looking back, it wasn’t that bad. I stayed at home most of the time, didn’t have to worry about money and was all around sane. This year, however, has been a disaster. I had relationship issues, bumped into this girl I’m really jealous of who completely ruined my confidence, had a nervous breakdown and lost my BIL. Even the summer holiday was meh. I’m still recovering and I would be happy to just go back to my 2020 self but I’m not sure if it is possible.
The mascara I ordered for half the usual price last week arrived today, but knowing my luck something must be wrong with it too. I also have an article due today, I co-edit a uni paper, but I just CBA to write anything so I might drop out. Don’t want to do it because writing gives me extra credits, but then again, really not in the mood for writing.
@GladiatorReady I’m so sorry, that sounds really stressful. I hope you are okay, please take care of yourself
@watermelon sugar Good luck to your fella, he sure takes his darts seriously!
I’m so desperate for a holiday/some kind of break and I don’t think I’m going to make it to an airport next year the way things are going. I’m thinking about booking a little UK holiday just for me next year - like an air bnb near a beach or something.
Is it really sad to go ‘on holiday’ by myself?

I dont even know where to start with today. To sum up, I ended up blowing up at my husband as soon as he walked through the door because I'm super stressed and exhausted with every day life. He is amazing though and I know he does try his hardest but sometimes it just doesn't seem enough. He'll be good for a couple of weeks and then we'll go back to being here
I’m a bit of a loner introvert who enjoys their own company so I think I’d honestly prefer going by myself and getting some peace and quiet rather than going with friends and family but I’m always so scared of what other people would think and if they’ll be judgemental/feel sorry for me I just think it would be so nice to find a tiny place to stay in and spend lots of time at the beach (I live really far away from any beaches)
I think it’s normal nowadays for people to go away on their own! If people see someone out on their own they don’t really give it a second thought I reckon. I think you should! Where you gonna pick?
Cornwall is lovely! Some of my family live there. We went a lot as kids. It’s tit when it rains though
I’m still hoping for a foreign holiday in 2022. Am I being to optimistic?
