Twelfth Night
So tonight the Christmas decorations come down, and its back to normal.
Actually, it’s been back to normal for a couple of days,except that as I’m self-employed I can stay in bed and read books and count that as work. This morning I fell asleep and lost whatever momentum I may have gained!
Most of the last couple of days have been spent on critiquing, and working through the critiques I get from others. But it’s also been time to prepare for next week’s return to uni and the inevitable assignment.
And saddest of all, yesterday it was time to take the tree down. From now on, I won’t be able to switch the lights on in the lounge, and get that sense of holding the darkness at bay. I think that that’s what makes January tougher in some ways than December. We’re half-way out of the darkness, as Stephen Moffatt wrote.
But it doesn’t feel like it.
