Hi Everyone!
I too have been missing in action around here. I don't think I even opened my laptop for about 2 weeks. It's the only way I access this site, so if I'm not on it, I'm not here.
Our Christmas was nice. Weird, but really nice. We went to my parents' on the 23rd with 2 of 3 sons and one fiancee'. It was nice, but my Mom can really get to me. She is on the verge of narcissistic, and that gets under my skin. There were a couple of instances of it that pushed me to my edge. She was putting on a show for son's fiancee. Too much drama for me!
Christmas eve day we had out Christmas here. Our son and dil who live in NC weren't here, so that was different. Not all of us being together. That is new. It's okay. I understand, now that they are grown and building their own families. It's just odd feeling. On Christmas day, it was just hubs, me and our youngest son. It was just a quiet day with not much going on.
It was a nice Christmas, it just felt really weird.
We stayed home for New Years. We usually do. It just isn't my kind of holiday. We were invited to a couple of events, but eh.
I am trying to get back to a healthy feeling for myself. I've gotten off track with food choices, and lack of exercise. Hubs & I got gym memberships for Christmas, so I have been trying to come up with some kind of schedule for myself. We go together once in a while, but I need to be going on my own as well.
We drove our college son back to school Wednesday. It is about a 7 hour drive from here. We left early, and made really good time. We were going to spend the night in the area, and head back on Th, but since we dropped him off by 2:30, we just drove home. It was a long long long day. I did all the driving since hubs needed to work in the car. I was fine, but yesterday I was really feeling it. I was so tired! Went to bed at 8:30 last night! I feel much better today! It is amazing what a good nights sleep can do!
My bestie from HS is in the beginning of her cancer treatment. They did some tests that showed chemo would not be effective, so she is on some kind of hormone pills for 3 months and then her mastectomy. Hopefully this will be what it takes to get her well. She is struggling with the feeling the meds are giving her, but is thankful she isn't having to go through chemo.
Not that much else is happening around here. Looking forward to son and dil's visit coming up later this month. Although according to my mother, they are coming solely to visit her and my dad.
We are getting some sunshine here today. It seems nice. We don't see much of the sun during the winter months.
Today I am finishing up laundry, did a 25 minute yoga workout, and have pepper steak going in the crockpot for dinner.
Hope you are all doing well! I will try to be more present here! Here's to an amazing 2019!!
