Gotta find something to do tomorrow.
We have friends coming but, I am not going to eat with pall over dinner.
I think I’ll go to my lodge and clean the stainless steel.
Been wanting to do that anyway and I have a stash of food in the pantry as well in the freezer.
That’s the ticket!
Sounds like a plan to me!...And frankly you don’t owe anybody , including the family friends, any reason for your change of plans.....just leave and tell them something’s come up you “want” to take care of.....and leave it at that.
If push comes to shove...it’s frankly none of their business....and you might have to tell them so.
One thing I had to learn in life...you do not have to account to anybody you don’t want to...and how to stop thinking I have to give people reasons for what I chose to do or not.
I’m spending Christmas alone because that is what I want to do...I had several invites when they learned my family would be across country. I still chose to be alone...and am doing what I want tonight and tomorrow.
There’s is something quite special about being solo Christmas......and sensing the Lords intended it that way.
