Uninspirational Christmas
A bad Christmas poem
I wanted to write a Christmas poem
Full of inspiration
But this year, I have failed to finish many things
And I'm having difficulty keeping attention
In 2025, I've achieved mostly burnout
I feel that 2026 will have a similar turnout
Give your kids a pizza
If that's what you want for Christmas Dinner
Hibernate, avoid people, don't feel any guilt
I'll be spending Christmas Day huddled in my quilt.
Note - I have, as I always do, taken on too much while not completing other things. I can't remember the last time I did any work on a book I meant to finish five years ago. I've got the last of a series of articles that simply refuses to let me complete it. There's a good chance these things will never get done. I know I take on too much but that's never going to change!
Image chosen because that is what it looks like in my brain.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

2025 was a shitty year (for me), but I'm hopeful for 2026. It's a chance to finish all the things you didn't get to in 2025 :)
