I hate the holidays normally, but the thought of doing ANOTHER YEAR of this has gotten me really down in the dumps. I have no one to talk to about this and no one left in my life. Things really suck a big fat cock at the moment. On the plus side, I get to look forward to my $7000 deductible spinning up anew on 1/1/26. Yaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy............

How are you all doing?

my family is used to me not attending any christmas things or seeing them at all by now so at least they don't guilt trip about it anymore. continuing to mask and distance in my homes common areas as i've done for years.

always nerve wracking round this time of the year though cause i know someone will be sick in the home like every year previous. and yet no pattern recognition from them let alone any precautions will be taken, just me and my partner trying to protect ourselves. every year that passes i'm more worried our luck in not getting covid (afaik) will run out.

otherwise i think i enjoyed the holiday, made some paper christmas lanterns with my partner while we had a christmas story (1983) on repeat.

very lonely most times (it's just my partner and i through all of this, no one else). i just really suck at talking to people but i know there's many of us still masking out there (whether on this site or in the world). another year always feels heavy though so i feel you comrade.
