Anyone else unable shake off grumpiness today?

[cwtchesandprosecco]

I’m really trying not to be a total grinch, for the sake of my housemates rather than myself, but can’t seem to snap myself out of it. I’ve never particularly liked Christmas (lots of childhood/ teenage family dramas) and losing my mum near Christmas has really stopped any festive feelings I might have developed. This year, due to covid, I’m stuck
in a house share (with people who I get on with, but still..) without any of the things that made Christmas bearable. I’m also experiencing the worst period I’ve ever had and I don’t think I can even bring myself to smile at the moment.

Anyone else just not able to muster the energy to even pretend?!?

Utter grumpiness here OP! It is my DS first xmas, but I'm hiding upstairs 'tidying' whilst DP takes care. Gutted not to be spending his first xmas with all the family so having a pitty party upstairs! But worst of all, is tier 4 living afterwards! At least tomorrow has roast potatoes.
So, I'd say, own the grumpiness, have a wallow and then go try to enjoy xmas with your housemates.
Sorry about the loss of your mum near Christmas. X

Got rid of mine with a run this morning. Good job really because between some delightful customers and some pain in the backside family members, I really wasn't feeling it. Prosecco has helped this afternoon too and getting to do things with ds.
