I don't think I could feel less Christmassy if I tried. As well as the threat of a lockdown looming and all the associated uncertainty.
DB has announced he is separating from his wife. This has made me and DH extremely sad. Unlike to see two DN's again after the split and feeling sad for them and SIL.
One nephew and two nieces have Covid, one is quite ill with it.
Above Covid cases mean Christmas and DH birthday plans now in jeopardy because of isolation periods.
Due to leave a job this week which nearly destroyed my mental health, but since I resigned, got better and colleagues became nicer. Have another job lined up for first week of January but looking like it might fall through. Three weeks on from accepting their offer and signing a Statement of Employment Particulars they haven't even sent me a bank details form yet or added me to the payroll! Starting to think I've made a mistake in resigning.
DH is miserable because it's his big birthday soon and because plans might well be cancelled. We both miss the Christmases we used to have with our families.
No friends to go out with for coffee, drinks, lunch or dinner, or just for a walk with.
Having moved twice in the space of 11 years for DH's job, and now living 3 hours away from my hometown and family.
Absolutely nothing to look forward to. No holidays, nothing. Seeing other people - mainly 'influencers' with perfect lives and booking holidays makes me feel sad and like there's something wrong with my life.
Haven't wrapped any Christmas presents yet as not feeling like it.
Sorry this is so long, and thanks for reading.
