For the record, I held it together on Christmas Day. Mostly. I didn't help clean up after the pancake breakfast (played a big part of the `many hands make light work - you did a great job of cooking for us all morning now it's time for you to sit back and put your feet up' drive the year before). But I couldn't face that last time. And I do feel bad. Because he looked disappointed. He was so happy (unbelieving, really) the year before.
But the next day I fell apart. And my friend simply doesn't understand that being around her is energy draining and being by myself is relaxing for me. She just really cannot accept that, at all. And I wasn't staying in a hotel where I could just go back there. And they don't respect doors being closed in their house. So...
What do you usually do?
If you really do want to spend it alone, I'm a bit of a master at that.
But... YOu aren't really going to - are you? You are feeling upset about family demands lately, though, I do hear you on that.
How are the birthday plans going?
