Progress!

I started fighting back yesterday .Christmas became real. As yet I have sent no cards but some have already arrived here. So I got out my smallest articial tree and decorated it...much loved ornaments are now safely up and sparkling. This gave me enormous pleasure. As yet there are no lights on the tree but it smiled at me all last night..This can never be a normal Christmas I know but this simple act gave me much satisfaction. Today I will try to get some cards into the post. This may involve my driving into the village or handing some cards to the postman if he arrives here but I havnt got enough stamps for that....however I am told that I can purchase stamps on line if I need to! Getting Christmas up and running has now become important to me...I really dont know how this determination has happened and replaced the lethargy of a few days ago. I am worrying about going to stay in a hotel for Christmas...but if I can get it all started here at home then I have made a start...I remember Christmasses past with a wry smile. Several services over two days always left me exhausted . This year I can enjoy it safely on my own without falling asleep all the time! This will make a change!
