I have so many good things to keep in mind, I wish one particular thing wouldn't come into my thoughts so often.

I wish it never came to me.

Today I went for a light jog. Only made it round the track once but that quarter mile was the most thrilling minute and a half I have spent since last December. I cannae express how elated I am with my Christmas miracle.

I've missed football...

I'm typically a rather long winded bloke and I have a bad habit of rambling on when something peaks my interest. My mother calls it passion, Da calls it attention grabbing. In any case, now that my shoulder is... fine... healed... perfect.... I'm flabbergasted. I never knew having a dream come true could be so powerful and uplifting. I am nae used to good things happening in my life, and the change is inspiring.

I'm going to play football again. I'm going to be me again.

I'm going home.

I have a present for somebody, but I don't know his name!

It occurs to me that this sudden climate shift is possible proof that the world really DOES end tomorrow. What Time Zone is that scheduled to start happening during, again? Because damn, I've got some stocking up to do. The internet informs me tampons are great for more than just women, but to jam into all sorts of wounds, and that I should be picking up toilet paper to sell at a premium.

So, I bought fridge cookie dough and eggnog. If it comes down, you're all fully welcome to swing by my place, where I will be barricaded underneath the table with this treasure trove that I'm sure you all are dying to share in.

Somewhere along the way, I'm also running a trial gravy experiment, and attempting to wrap a bathrobe, scarf, and other hard to handle gifts. Pray for me. I may never return. Of course, provided we die tonight, this is all moot anyway, but I'm hoping I'll be one of the survivors ready to rebuild the human race to all its former glory.

What do you think? Is asking women if they want to repopulate the earth coming on a LITTLE strong in that time of great need? I wouldn't use it otherwise.

Well, probably.

My father just telephoned me. It is the first time I have heard his voice since I was seventeen. I do not know why he chose to phone me, just that he did.

Please tell the ones you love that you do so today. It is important.

If the world's going to end tomorrow, tonight I want to do something crazy that I said I'd never do. Maybe I'll get a tattoo or something.

...My sister turned up on my doorstep last night. I... haven't seen her for years.

This could turn out to be an amazing Christmas for once
