And so a week or so of non normality comes to an end.

Decorations seem out of place, yet will be missed when packed away. 

Items sat frozen in time since Christmas day need to be found a home. Private thoughts of childhood Christmases past, and of relatives dead and gone leave lingering thoughts of one’s own mortality.
Back to 7 and a half hours in the company of people you see 5 days out of seven, maybe more, and yet, who you hardly know.
The relentless pursuit of life in exchange for money.
Happy 2013.
