I'm sorry, but I don't have much time for you right now? I hope you don't mind! It wasn't anything you said or did, it's just that I'm under a little pressure to get this ginormous assessment finished for about a week's time. It will be rather torturous and I can't really predict what the outcome might be as of yet. Let's just say I'm putting great reliance on my literary skills to get me through it. So far, they've never let me down, but this assignment is a little different in that it has to be backed up by hard eveidence. Do I have that evidence? Probably!
So, the Christmas tree has gone up today, only it has no lights or decorations yet, because after a great deal of self-mind probing, I realised that last year's lights gave up the ghost just before I took them down. Realising this saved me form potential hours searching the attic for the box which might have contained said lights. Unless of course, I'm imagining that the lights were thrown out, and that they are indeed in a box in the attic somewhere.
I also had to go and get some groceries in yesterday, and was keenly aware of a surplus of shoppers. The town centre was way too busy for my liking. How can anyone enjoy Christmas shopping? We just do it for the sake of it? My relatives don't really care for me, and I therefore reciprocate their non-caring attitude, and yet, we still buy presents for each other, which nobody will like or want. What's the point of it? I've even had relatives give me their present back, saying they don't like it, want it, or have one already. Honestly, the audacity! Are they really that ignorant? ... well, YES!
