i survived “whamaggedon 2024” by never having heard the song “Last Christmas” by Wham… just to be sure, i went to youtube, searched it out, and listened to about half of it, just to make sure… i’m still not sure i’ve ever heard the song. it’s forgettable, and i have a brain injury… 🤷
the panto has been going unimaginably well, in spite of the fact that we had to have a substitute musician (greg powers, a guy i have known since high school) play the “baphoonium” part (part euphonium, part bassoon) on the trombone, because the bassoon player got sick and the euphonium player had another gig.
my “xmas” was about what i expected: other people getting way too excited about giving meaningless gifts to people they don’t really care about, in a desperate attempt to feel like their lives mean something to someone other than themselves, while completely, i might even say DELIBERATELY oblivious to the fact that their actual lives — and the actual world — is being deliberately DESTROYED around them, while they try to find reasons to celebrate. whee… yippy… 😒
I only bought one present this year. it was for Luci.
then I about cried when she passed out the presents from under the tree and the only one for her was from me.
mind you, the old bat put together a box full of presents for Luci’s brother and family and Luci got stuck with the job of mailing them out.
the old bat could have given me money so I could get one from her to Luci. she did the reverse for me.
I’m seriously weary of being here.
yippy… whee… 😒
