Day 17 - Merry Friendmas!

CW: ALCOHOL

Wow. What a day. It started with the sweet sound of silence as I turned my alarm off and woke up naturally. I knew I needed all the sleep I could get with the busyness of the next few days. Navi and I had a slow morning with tea and blogging by the tree and a fireplace that isn't the fireplace channel!

Soon after it was time to head home so Navi and I packed up our things to prepare for our last few days at home before Christmas.

I spent the day tidying and preparing because ai was having friends over to celebrate our Christmas together. Normally we do an annual holiday photo but the last year or so we weren't able to because we only did virtual hangouts. It was so nice to be back together (not to mention all of us at the same time) and enjoy some holiday spirit (if you catch my drift). In fact there was maybe a little too much holiday spirit....but that's a story for day 18.

It was loads of fun and it really started to feel a little more like the holidays. Maybe because it was reminiscent of holidays before? Or I just needed the company and distraction a little more this year? Who knows but I enjoyed it.

So after everyone left I knew that I may have imbibed a bit too much and had to let it wear off before I tried to sleep so....1am Dreamlight Valley Stream! It was so fun and a little wild but it helped and was much needed. Often when I feel like I've had too much my anxiety sets in. It's like I automatically start to panic about it and about how I'm going to feel the next day. So I think part of why I did it was to distract myself before I could get carried away with worry.

You know this happens once in a blue moon for me so I try not to feel too guilty about it. And the night was so fun and I was in good company.

Tomorrow may be a different story to tell.
