Have a Jolly Holiday!

Jezebel ignoring my camera
Christmas 2013

Where has the time gone? It startled me to realize how long since I posted anything here. Now seemed like a good time.


Our Christmas season has been low-key for years. I'm fine with that, and especially grateful nobody expects us to travel. My husband buying me a powerful, super fast new laptop last month was a wonderful surprise bonus.

Sad to say, a downtrodden friend made me even more grateful for my husband and our life together. How I got so lucky as to find a responsible and respectful man compared to the loser guy she married is beyond me. I can only wish her a brighter future and appreciate my joyful existence.

Why is it some people make themselves feel better by tearing down another? And how do their victims succumb, tolerating the mistreatment for decades when the early warning signs were so obvious from the outside?

I hope this wasn't too much of a downer. Merry Christmas!

  1. Those folks that tear others down are so unhappy they want everyone to be as unhappy as they are. I avoid those folks. I married a loser so I know how trying that is. Divorce is the only option.

  5. It's hard once you get stuck in that situation. All you have to do is read the AITA threads from Reddit to see how many are gaslit in their relationships.

    1. Yes, I am fortunate to have no concept of such victimization, however 'mild', if there is such a thing. Thanks on the congrats! I'm very happy with my new machine.

  8. Hey, cool, I usually ignore dad's camera the same way, Jezebel. Downer or not, it's true, unfortunately. I will say, however, that mom's lucky she found such a man in dad as you mentioned you have (yep, dad wrote this). We sure hope your Christmas was joyful and your 2021 brings good things your way. Our Christmas was nice and low-key, and our New Year's Eve was even lower-key as dad fell asleep after 1 beer and mom's under the weather. Happy New Year!!

    1. I hope your mom is feeling better! My house is super low-key right now as all three kitties and hubby are asleep. :)

  9. Hope things turn out to be better in the new year for your friend. Indeed it's so unfortunate if one gets stuck in such a situation.

    Wish you and your family a fruitful, safe, happy, healthy 2021
