Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! Okay, I'm a little late.

I went to visit the family for the holiday. Got Tuesday off of work so I could beat the bad weather. Unfortunately, I didn't know I was going to get Tuesday off, took an hour to get everything together before I could leave--and I did not beat the weather. The usually 4 hour car trip took 8 hours. My mom was freaking out. Wee.

Got sick on Christmas Eve. I think it was food poisoning, though I don't know what I ate to make me sick. It would have had to have been eating on Monday. So maybe it was something else, but whatever it was, I did not feel so good. I threw up at the Christmas Eve party being held by the close family friend and dad had to take me home.

Christmas was nice though. I got a Jack Lelane Power Juicer. And slippers. And of course good food. I got to see my grandpa and his girlfriend. Pop is not looking good though. He is in a lot of pain and the doctors don't know why, and they haven't given him anything for the pain which is in his shoulder. One moment he can't remember that I have been to see him since May, and the next he thinks that I have been back to see his new car, which he got in late September.

Sweetie and I celebrated our Christmas yesterday. We exchanged gifts (He got me the complete series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer!) and after I got off of work we went to Outback Steakhouse, because his parents sent a giftcard for there for me. It is in this strip mall here, so we hadn't ever been, but inside it was just fine, and the food was really good.

Today we had our own belated "new shoe day", which is a family tradition for my family where the day after Christmas you go get new athletic shoes so you are ready for your new years fitness resolutions. So, since we celebrated our Christmas on Saturday, new shoe day was Sunday. I got some nice shoes, I hope will feel good.

In all of this--and I have been back to work since Friday morning--I have had no time for writing and no time for exercising. I recently cancelled my World of Warcraft subscription, because I have so little time as it is, so at least that isn't going to distract me from my writing. I am hoping to get some done tomorrow. Exercise too.

life, holidays
