It's snowing at last.
It's been a straight week or two of sleet and wet, dark sludge on the ground in stead of snow. Now there is snow again, but it's still warm, so I doubt it will last. The snow is coming down in big, heavy rags that almost splash as they hit the ground. Even a bit too wet for snowballs...
Only a fwe days before christmas. Or yule, or whatever.. I've been far too busy to think about it, so in my case there is no point in talking about "christmas spirit". I'll even have to come back to work between christmas and new year.. So how's that for relaxing during the holidays?
Well, maybe I will calm down when it actually IS christmas.. Or maybe not. Running around all the time.. Christmas eve at my girlfriend's parents in Helsinki, christmas day at my parents in Orivesi, only 250 km between the two places.. Boxing day is probably the only resting day in the holidays, since after that I'll come back to work for three days and then I'll be off again on new year's eve...
I wish it would snow and be colder.. All this stress and traveling around is depressing enough in itself even without the sleet and the darkness.
I'm so fed up with all the christmas fuss that I get pissed off listening to Bing Crosby dreaming of a white christmas even though I like the song a lot...
