I feel like Charlie Brown this year... They keep taking my football away

This is Christmas Eve and I should be happy and not depressed. The kind of depression I have just now is undefined, can't really put my finger on it. All I know is, my usual way of coping with this depression is not there for me even though it is Christmas. There are no pies, or cake, or special cookies and candies for me to nibble on.

I know this sounds very childish and as it is I am embarrassed to be admitting I am depressed and don't have any goodies to make it all go away. Waaah  Waaah.

There is nothing on TV but Christmas stuff and the news is very light-weight and repeats itself. My games are boring. In fact, I have felt this way for  a couple of weeks now. I just go through the motions. When it's not fun any more it's work but I care enough to want to keep up and my friends play. Maybe they feel the same way. I don't know.

Maybe I might feel better if I cleaned up the kitchen some, it is such a mess right now. Everybody just fills up the sink and things need putting away. This house is too small for 5 people, just a little more room would mean so much to me. Or an attic or basement just to get rid of the clutter in.

I will be out of this house tomorrow and Sunday because it is the weekend and I am working. I will wear my bright red shirt over navy work pants, and I have attached a corsage like they wore on coats back in the day. My mother had many pretty ones.
 This is just a plastic flower pick like you would use for Christmas decorations and I have 1/2 dozen safety pins holding it on. Maybe the old folks will get a kick out of it. I can try anyway.

There is one thing I do whenever I go to work, in any of the jobs I have ever had. I leave my problems on the doorstep before I walk in and put on my "people" face. I am so successful at this over the years that everyone thinks I am a happy person, live a charmed life. I have been told this to my face.

Unfortunately the problems are right there on the doorstep waiting for me when I leave to go home. And they will be tomorrow, even though it is Christmas and I should be happy
