I also like Merry Christmas Everyone and Santa Baby, so it's not all doom and gloom.

Today is my last day of work before I have Friday and then next week off. I am v. looking forward to it. I'm a little worried about how much I'm looking forward to it, because if I feel like it's going to fix all my problems, that's obviously not the case. But it has been tough lately, and a break would be nice. Just to not have to be in a constant whirl of 'getting ready for work, working, trying to take advantage of my free time while I'm not at work and the kids aren't here'. Just to be able to relax and have the whole day to myself will be nice.

But I'm also worried because next week is basically when I'll have to at least start getting ready for Christmas, and I have no idea. None. I vaguely know what I want to get my dad - more booze - and then I worry about accidentally giving him liver disease. And I only ever get my sister gift cards. But what my nephews will like and won't immediately smash is a little harder. And my mother's a complete mystery. At least the cat will just automatically like whatever I give her. Or ignore it.

But it's also a chance to go out looking at Christmas lights and stuff, and maybe go to the ballet, and go see Justice League again. And maybe I can convince my mother to bunk off all her jobs and come somewhere with me. Also it's my YN's birthday on Tuesday. Have to get him something for that as well.

It's also the Game Awards tonight. And Playstation Experience over the weekend. People are expecting game reveals, and the signs suggest there'll be at least one. My wild, out-of-the-park guess would be that Superman game. I'm still half-convinced it's happening, and Justice League just came out, and even if that didn't set the world on fire it got people talking about Superman again. It feels like it might be time. But my more rational guess would be Borderlands 3, which all signs suggest is coming out next year. We'll see!
