mtbc | A small seasonal success (Reply)

Occasionally I get around to writing here, or doing other things, but not very often apparently. Between work, sleep, chores, errands, etc., for the remaining time I find myself opting to passively and motionlessly consume entertainment. Even after a long sleep, it's often with reluctance that I begin to actually move any muscles. Sometimes I start the day with ambition and enthusiasm but I tire out easily, more mentally than physically.

Still, a small success: this evening I finally got Christmas cards written and ready for posting. I have moved around a lot and mostly lost touch with family and friends, and I suspect posting cards is an increasingly archaic activity anyway. After some omitting people who've not sent me a card for years and may well have moved house, I am now down to sending a whole six cards this year, nearly all to people rather older than I. Nonetheless, I am glad to do a seasonal thing. I shall post the cards on my way into work tomorrow morning.

I am taking some time off from work over Christmas. For the most part, it will be just me and R., and L. our dog. We have a couple of small road trips planned into England, perhaps with sufficiently clement weather for L. to explore parks and beaches and the like. L. remains a fine little fellow. We finally got the breed test done, he turns out to be mostly Shih Tzu with a bit of Lhasa Apso.
