The TV schedule gods decided that I should watch The Man who would be King. Accompanied by a cup of tea, a blanket, and a fluffy snoozy kitty. Happy me.

One of the best things I ever did for myself was stop comparing my life trajectory to people who have support systems. I won’t say I never had help, but I’m just now truly understanding the difference between “assistance” and “support”.

But work emails *were* originally a pagan ritual, performed in honour of the god Replyall
Did you know that Oliver Cromwell banned work emails at Christmas, claiming they were a hangover from paganism? They were only brought back at the Restoration in 1660.

Ageing: the condition of becoming less serious about all you were once far too serious about and more serious about all that you once undervalued.

Showed my face at the Christmas party, had a nice time, drank 2 non alcoholic drinks, and was back on the sofa by 9.30.
Phew.
That's the socialising done for 6 months.

Bugger it, work dangled a carrot so guess I'll stick around a bit more before I fulfil the plan. I like being able to eat and buy a silly amount of jigsaws after all....
