A friend on FB summed up some of my feelingags about this time of year quite neatly.
Me:
Oh Hai, this is what I dread about the Xmas/NY break as well. Nice as it is to have the time off work my time veers between
- the usual events with all-the-people (exhausting) and
- sitting at home doggedly working through a list of tasks I "want" to do as a distraction from the negative feelings from no-one else seems to be inviting me out do to stuff or interested in my suggestions of doing stuff
~~~
As today is the first "working" day of my holiday some of the things I have set to do today include:
Level up Markos
Two galleries of photos from the weekend
Have another bash at Smugmug's "new" (introduced a year ago) interface and see if I can make it work for me rather than against me; eventually they are bound to turn off the old one.
See if I can get the guest editor functionality for a gallery working for someone else to upload photos
Wash the dishes
Grocery shopping
Then I'll see what part of the day I am up to.
Them: It's just the following weeks on deadness (when everyone is supposed to be going somewhere except you) is making it so hard and anxiety-inducing.
