Aww, I'd love to see everyone, too, but the 30th is the one day that I actually have things planned already.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, Jesse, Theo, and Rayne!
I am home with nothing to do until Monday. Man, it's good to relax after the holidays.

God YES. I'm so glad I took this day off. I walked the dog, took a nap, read the new Anne Rice book, went out for Indian, and now we are back home and I am going to read more of the new Anne Rice book until I fall asleep. Christmas wiped me OUT. Definitely fun -- I'm so lucky that Tim's family is THE BEST -- but totally exhausting.
t edit I don't remember holidays wiping me out before the last couple of years. I need Geritol. Or to exercise more. (One of my New Year's Resolutions is to walk a 5K in April. Which, I know, is not a big deal to people who do marathons and stuff, but I am not one of those people.)
t edit again It's a superhero-themed 5K, and participants get a cape, which I SWEAR is not the reason I'm doing it. But it helps. [link]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Superhero 5K is awesome! Go you!
I'm embracing the New Year's cliche and starting a no-sugar diet and a running program Jan 1. Which means going for a test run tomorrow. I I hope finding my heart rate monitor is not too hard...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, that sounds fun.
My main goal is to eventually stop stuffing my face at every turn. I guess that starts tomorrow.

You can change the size of the pieces and even the direction to make it harder. It's Shockwave driven.

My other HUGE resolution is to stop comparing myself to other people. It's so damaging, you guys. I don't talk about it, because what kind of conversation is that? "Oh, hey, I was full of self-loathing today because my college roommate won an Emmy and I haven't won one." (That's true. Well, the Emmy part; not the self-loathing. She's in sports broadcasting, and it's SUPER COOL she won an Emmy. I have no self-loathing about it because, you know, that's not a field I'm in.)
But more generally applicable areas, like, "Oh, high school friend who's a doctor just bought a boat and an Escalade to pull it," or "Oh, friend who used to be the same size as me dropped 3 sizes and looks incredible now." That's where I compare myself (even if I don't actually WANT a boat), and it's super damaging. I don't want to do that.
That's not going to be an easy resolution, and I don't know how to break it into smaller doable pieces, which is the only way to really achieve it. Walking a 5K is *nothing* compared to that.
