I’m not looking forward to the next few days. I know that as soon as they have expired it’ll be Xmas. I’m happy about that but I’m not looking forward to the next 3 days since I’ll be working all day and not being able to see my girlfriend. I won;t even get to talk to her much. I’m going soft in my old age I think. I’m looking forward to Xmas and the new year. Nothing like the feeling of the new year being a mark of a clean slate. I don’t know what it is about it but for some reason it feels like sense of relief. I guess it’s because life slows down more and thigs settle back to the nice steady pace of which I am happy with.

I’ve got high hopes for the new year. I probably shouldn’t talk it up too much as it will lead to disappointment. I’ve got to go to bed in an hour and I don’t want to. It’ll be the start of me having ittle free time up until Xmas. I’m bored and restless. I wish my wife was here. She’s the best. Whenever she’s around I never get bored. OK, gonna change the subject in case I start pining like a dog… [too late for that]

I think I’m gonna head off. Better start winding down. Need to be in bed pretty soon… Need my sleep for work tomoz… Work then church. How will I keep awake?
