Argh! Just can we skip New Years and just get right into 2021 already!

I can't wait to get going with 2021 even though it will be at least until the summer before the worst is over. I love Christmas but this year with the pandemic it's been meh (of course I know everyone is dealing with this).

What has driven me to the point of hiding in the spare bedroom office is the fact that my DH has been at home using up holiday time for most of December and after a year of on-off lockdowns I'm crawling out of my skin to have some alone time (I mean the whole damn house to myself!) The grotty weather and everything being closed makes it worse.

I'm also desperate to get back to a normal daily structure as well. "Holiday" DH acts like a 14 year old, staying up all night watching movies and playing video games, then sleeping in until noon or later. We have a very small house so his schedule ends up impacting my schedule, it's hard to say how that happens exactly but it does even though he's not trying to do it deliberately.

I love my DH, I really do and he works hard so he should get to enjoy his time off but we are definitely going to have to look for a bigger place next year. Am I alone in dreaming of living all alone for a month?

Just wanted to selfishly vent about that thank you Grin

I genuinely don't think 2021 will be any better than 2020 but if OH could fuck the fuck off back to the office and leave me be for 10hrs a day again I would be much obliged.

Having him home is A LOT. Eugh.

(This morning he had a mantrum over nothing AGAIN. Cue everyone walking on eggshells. Absolute twat I am for even being here tbh)

I'm just hanging on for Monday when DH returns to his office. The neighbours may catch a sight of me dancing around the house! Grin

DH has been at home since March. I am slowly going insane.
I went back to work (outside of the house) in September. I've never been so enthusiastic going to work!

I just want to be able to turn on the TV without it being yet another “Review of the Year.” Enough already - we all know it’s been a shit year and we don’t need to be constantly reminded, thankyou very much. Just get on with it.

Can we just skip into 2022, for that matter, when (hopefully) lockdown is a distant memory, we're grumbling about whoever has replaced Saint Boris, the patron saint of buffoons, and we can fight the good fight about making masks optional?
