A little Christmas Cheer

Apologies for no post yesterday.  I was busy, but not really.  In all honesty, I don’t think I had anything to write about.  Which is funny because while I was swimming yesterday morning I was thinking about my blog post and had a great idea.  I guess I lost it sometime between showering and heading home because I was drawing a complete blank.  Yesterday was one of those days that I’m not all that proud of.  I did some rewrites on articles (which is kind of hard for me) and then studied up on my french.  I know I need to freshen up on all my conjugations and the like before starting tutoring on Tuesday.  I also would love to increase my french vocab, which I have about 2000 flash cards to help with that.  I just need to motivate myself to use them.  Then around 3PM, I had hit the wall so I went shopping.  It was nice heading to the outlet malls during the day, it was empty!  It was the most stress-free Christmas shopping I think I’ve ever done!

Today has not been a whole lot better.  I went to bed last night with a headache.  I thought maybe it was because of the two beers I had last night, but then reminded myself I had about 5 waters while we were out.  When I woke up this morning, the headache had morphed into a migraine.  I have this awful habit of failing to respect the migraine, so I took only some ibuprofen.  That didn’t even put a dent in the pain, but then I was stuck waiting hours before I could take my Imitrex.  So I have spent the day today laying on the couch and catching up on some Glee and writing Christmas cards…oh and eating some ice cream.  You know I’m sick and feel awful when I think ice cream is an appropriate lunch.  Finally around 2:30, I took the Imitrex and within 30 minutes I have become a new person.  I’m sitting up, not cringing at lights and sounds and now I am actually considering a trip to the gym in a few minutes.

Sorry for the boring post.  That is how my last 2 days have been.  Writing and boring.  It is kind-of amusing that I don’t really change or act a lot different on the weekends.  I was up around 7:30 this morning (thanks to the headache) and I have still looked for writing jobs and kept essentially the same schedule as I do during the week.  I personally am loving that I have broken the hold that the weekends used to have on me.  I lived and worked for my Saturday’s and Sunday’s.  Not anymore.

Tonight, Justin and I are meeting up with some friends for drinks (depending on my head, I may be abstaining from the booze).  We also met up with people last night in Clarendon, an unusual trip for us homebodies now a days.  It definitely feels like the holiday season with cramming as much time with our friends.  It is so wonderful that everyone is making time for each other and get-together’s are a priority.  I love it!  Great holiday cheer!

To Smile.
