My Christmas isn't entirely over - we have one more celebration on Thursday. Woo.
I'm sorry, but this year just hasn't seemed like Christmas at all. We celebrated on all these weird days with the families. The weather was warmer. Ric was either not around or too tired to help decorate or shop or wrap presents. My best friend didn't drop by on Christmas Eve like she awlays has every year. I missed every single Merry Christmas call from our friends.
I've been eating a lot better this past month, and as a result, all the Christmas food made me sick. I had a stomach ache late at night on Christmas Eve that lasted through all of Christmas day. We went with my family to see Les Miserables at the Pantages. The play was good, but the ride kept me feeling sick. When we got home, I got to hug the toilet for a while as I threw up the only bits of food that weren't fully digested.
I asked God for at least one day where my body could feel completely healthy for Christmas. Guess that wasn't His plan. I've had headaches, I've got some kind of itchy thing going on although my skin isn't red with a rash, I got sick to the stomach, and my back and shoulder hurt as always.
I guess I'm just looking at the negatives over the positives - I saw tons of movies, spent time with family without going nuts (except in the car with my dad on Christmas day - he has a story for every mile on the freeway heading into LA), got served food without having to help cook anything, got great gifts, etc. We are eternally blessed by God financially and in our marriage. I guess I just need to put my focus on those things rather than the rest, but I can't help but be a bit depressed this year. Oh well.
