Taking a break from opening presents for early dinner.
I'm quite pleased with my gifts this year.
Despite having a meltdown last night and crying a few times this morning Christmas good.
I haven't been sleeping well and wasn't able to get things I wanted done for various reasons and so I've been over tired and achey and stressed.
But M over, it was a surprise and really nice. He finally met the rest of my family. Everyone had a nice lunch. I took a quick nap and now I'm not sure what I'm going to do but not stress about anything.
Help, we've reached the end of movies that husband and his parents can agree on so instead it's just endless bickering aaaaah.
Also, his mother has mentioned twice today about how she was screwed out of grandchildren, more in a joking way, but STILL. I wish I drank wine.
"Oh, we intend to have kids once you're gone!"
Very quiet Christmas here, but cozy and nice, for all that. I don't remember what we paid for the fireplace dvd, but just for today, it earned its price. So lovely reading and sipping hot cider with the flames crackling away in the corner.
Lovely times for all my Buffistas, as long as your holidays last.
And another staff member is down for the count. So much for having a couple days off at Christmas.
I spent yesterday on Amtrak shuttling the children down to Camp Grandparents and then coming home. DH picked me up at the train station, we stopped on the way home for Chinese takeout, and then watched the Doctor Who Christmas special, for a cozy traditional Jewish Christmas.
I'm technically working from home this week, but since almost nobody is in the office I plan to spend most of the break working on grad school and job applications so I can start the new year knowing that I've at least tried to get out of this rut.
Happy Birthday, Thoe, Jesse, and Rayne!
Tuesday after Monday holiday means stupid busy even with a lot of my doctors on vacation. Boo. Don't wanna.
