Season's Greetings

[kat_lair]

Hope you have a season full of joy and peace, however you celebrate it.

It's been a very, very good year for me, getting my PhD and a job but I've been so busy this autumn with the move, said job, new house and everything that I haven't had a chance to really internalise the changes properly. And then yesterday, after finishing all the marking the previous evening, and coming back from the shop in the morning, I sat down and completely unexpectedly burst into tears, because I was living in this beautiful house in a seaside town and I had job that I loved and was qualified for and that paid regularly meaning I didn't have to count every penny any more and I had my kitties and family and friends. And it was Christmas.

And I was, am, happy. And so thankful, to be where I am right now.

I wish you all the love this holiday time.

Such a good year for you hun, so glad it's all beginning to settle down now. You deserve it for all your hard work. <3

I just keep thinking how stressed (and absolutely bollock crazy) I was last year this time, or even more so in March before the Viva, compared to how I am now.

Thank you for putting up with me through all of it. I quite literally could not have done it without you. ♥

Yep I'm not going to argue with the absolutely bollock crazy comment. You really really were :D

But so glad things have been sorted now.

You've had a wonderful year and have deserved it. Next year is going to be even better:) Hope your Christmas has been everything you could wish.

Thank you, I know it's silly but I feel a bit like some cosmic scales have balanced a bit now because dammit, I was due some good things.

Christmas has been very chilled. Good foods and wine and fic writing and TV.

This is all so wonderful, and I'm really happy that you're happy with your life right now. ♥♥♥

Cats are pretty attached to the window sill because of the radiator.

I've spent most of Christmas just pausing every few hours to marvel at my life at the moment, which sounds kind of cheesy and smug but... I don't even care. Right now I'm happy and eventually life will throw unhappy at me again, because that is how life works, so I'm enjoying it now. Tomorrow I can has mum for a week so that will be awesome.

Things are very good at the moment. I have mum visiting and I've finished my Lewis fic in time. Among other lovely things. All the happiness to you too <3
