Happy New Year!
Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
Christmas was absolutely lovely. I actually helped with shopping (IRL and online) and had fun doing so! Christmas Eve day I got pretty anxious for a while, stupid anxiety disorder, but I kept doing things. By evening it was a lot better. CHristmas day itself was perfect. Becca, Vic, and DaddyMark all came over, and we had pastry and coffee and fruit whilst opening gifts. After that (which takes a long time because we go one at a time), we had REAL bagels and REAL bacon with more coffee and eggnog for those who could drink it. Mark stayed most of the day, and Becca & Vic stayed overnight. We all took a nap around 5, and then Mike made an incredible shrimp boil for dinner. After that, it was drinks, nibbles, and Cards Against Humanity until 2:30 a.m. lol. PERFECT!!!!
So that was just so lovely and enjoyable. The following week was very lazy. Mike only had to attend a couple of virtual meetings, and we just kinda lazed around and relaxed.
The one downside was that on the Monday after Christmas, Ethan was exposed to COVID. He's had to quarantine in his room since then :-( The first testing appt he was able to get is Tuesday the 4th. When he's out of his room, we are all masked. It ruined his New Year's, because he was going to have a few friends over, including his new girlfriend. So that was a huge bummer. So far, he's had no symptoms, so of course we are hoping his test is negative.
