Peaked too soon

After the festive feelings of yesterday, I’m really concerned that I might have peaked too soon.   Today feels as if Christmas has been and gone already, with Christmas Eve to get through, before the main event on Saturday.  I’m already thinking about the New Year.

I got up at around 7:30 a.m. and did something quite uncharacteristic for me – wrote a “To Do” list.  By the end of the afternoon I had managed to tick off over half my tasks, including walking in to town, going to the bank and picking up those last minutes bits and pieces that are essential to get through the festive season.  The main one was a new roasting tin to cook the turkey in, as my current (now old) one had gone rusty some how.  The shops were reasonably easy to manoeuvre and queuing was slight, in stark contrast to last Saturday.    Today my luck was in as the 99p shop had Cherry Liqueurs in – and lets face it, you can’t have Christmas without a cherry liqueur now can you?

I had to resort to the aforementioned liqueurs by 9:30 p.m. in a bid to get in the festive mood, and even with the tree lit and scented tea lights I really wasn’t feeling it.   How spooky that Mark in the Peep Show should echo echo my sentiments later with his cry of “I’m not feeling it.”

So, I’m not alone, although I am.   The cat is in a funny mood tonight too – sitting in strange places and climbing on to the dinner table, which is very definitely not allowed.   Perhaps she is picking up on my tension.

Let’s see what tomorrow brings.   Happy Christmas.
