Frozen Christmas

Frozen ChristmasMood: blueNow Playing: Feeling very blue...Topic: Daily Doings
FROZEN WITH THE DEPRESSION OF CHRISTMAS. In town today. Lent my friend £15 — couldn’t really afford to — but this person’s been good to me. (I know 100% I’ll get the money back but it just happens to be the very same day I get paid.)
Lying in bed, unconscious. Barely able to rouse self. Had things to do so I forced myself up.
All the time I feel physically slowed down and physically ill (each day I wake up aching all over). Emotionally unhappy. Mentally slow. And spiritually frozen.
London’s full of mist. No snow. No frost, even. But the place does look like a Christmas card.
As for Christmas Day — to me it’s just a dinner and I’m having that round my mate’s house (the one I lent the £15 to; are things making sense now?) I will not be on my own over Xmas.
Christmas for me has never been a truly joyous time. Having said that, I think back to Christmas past when I did indeed find Christmas spirits of excellent quality from a wide selection of bottles.
I think the key to our experience lies in attitude and expectations. I try to keep my attitude positive. I fight the negativity.
As for expectations, I find the key is not to expect too much; but on the other hand, don’t expect nothing. If you expect nothing from life, nothing might well be what you get!
If you’re still feeling depressed, pay a visit to the magical village of Plumpiemousie (http://plumpiemousie.blogspot.com). Expect the unexpected.
Have a merry Christmas Everyone,
Love from
Gledwood

My darling,
I've enjoyed your posts immensely, I even left some comments. Gledwood, I think you're the coolest junky I ever met online. I am not a junky, I am more an alkie, but I'am around most of the time.
love
z.

ISTANBULWITCHY I CANNOT leave a comment on your blog as it only allows blogspot/googlers. You can change the setting, you know.
Well if you do read this, I wanted to say about that veiled man you pictured (well it could be a man, our Government recently admitted that a guy wanted for a high-profile murder seemingly escaped the country via Heathrow Airport drest in a full veil! Security didn't have the nous/assertiveness/whatever you wanna call it to SIMPLY CHECK HIS FACE against the FEMALE PASSPORT he was carrying...
Anyway I just wanted to say... isn't the veil banned under the Kemal Ataturk constitution?
Or was it not taken in Turkey?
Your blog is v interesting. (I've come across so many that aren't!)
Change your comments system, please!
