Normally do. No family nearby and not interested in all the rubbish involved in trying to make them allow me some space outside their fantasies about me. It's just so exhausting, I'm happier by myself. I am going to make a dinner with one other person this year because we probably won't ever do it again... one of us is moving away next year.

I'll probably spend the rest of the weekend at home putzing around and be just fine with the lack of stressful people around me.
