Goodbye 2022 and Hopefully To My Christmas Cough Too

I’m one of “those” people who is glad Christmas is out of the way.

I did have a really lovely time though. We spent Xmas eve visiting my Nan & grandad and my brother & sister in law came with my niece, who gave me lots of lovely cuddles.

In the evening, we went to my parents and I got way too drunk. On Christmas morning, we left Essex, picked the kids up, went home for a short while to open some presents and then off to the besties for Christmas dinner.

She had 20 people to dinner (that is not a typo!) We played fun games, sang Christmas songs, drank, and ate as the festive season requires. It was a truly lovely day with lots of special memories made.

On Boxing Day, I was shattered, I lounged around all day watching film after film, eating Christmas crap, followed by a Chinese takeaway.

On Tuesday, I tried to move around a bit more, have a bit of a tidy up and worst of all, leave the house to go and collect my car from the bestie’s house, I forgot I had driven there on Christmas day and I just wanted to stay indoors in the warm. I had developed an annoying cough and wasn’t feeling 100%.

On Wednesday, the cough lingered after keeping me up for some of the night, so I decided to hunker down and do some writing.

I was thinking about goal-setting, self-reflection, and reading through my old posts over the last year.
