Hmmm.

I'd like to say that I enjoyed the party last night, but I can't say I did. That's all on me, though, and nothing to do with my sis and brother-in-law as hosts. I just felt out of place, and really lonely.

I spent most of my evening there talking to the younger guests, but once they left, I had no real desire to stay. I ordered a taxi and left, somewhat anonymously as my sister and brother-in-law were talking to other guests who were leaving and my attempts to get their attention were fruitless.

It reminded me of a work Xmas party a few years ago that I left early because I was felling in a similar way.

I am knackered today. Lack of sleep, just worn down by Xmas (even though it was quiet this year) and a stiff neck into the bargain.

Today will be a sofa and TV day.
