Christmas illness

I get sick every Christmas. Or it's been that way for the last three years at least. True to form I started feeling icky Boxing Day cutting our visiting short. Sunday it hit full force. I was certain I would never feel better. My stomach was a knot of nausea that had somehow convinced my brain that the smell of baking chocolate chip cookies was repulsive. Needless to say, I couldn't eat. Ginger ale became my best friend. Yesterday things looked up I could eat again and my love of all things chocolate began to resurface. But here I am now at the doctor's office, I did go to work today but I'm still not the best (kinds feeling worse than yesterday:S). So I thought a little check up might be in order. Let's hope all goes well.

Christmas Changes

The change from school to work hasn't been too bad but I'm missing the amount of holiday time. I like to veg out for days over the holidays, eat junk, read books, play games (video and board). This year there won't be much of that. I have to work quite a few days and I'll be driving back and forth between my home and my family home during the time I'm off.

But then, I'm also going to be enjoying my first Christmas with me and Mr. Boyfriend living together so changes aren't all that bad :)

Oh dearie me, Christmas

I celebrate Christmas. It happens to be one of my favorite times of the year, after 4:00PM on the 24th. That's when the madness stops and the fun begins :)

Meanwhile, I'm going crazy trying to get all my shopping (and some of my Mom's shopping) done. I got a good chunk done yesterday taking advantage of my lunch hour and a few hours after work. But the important thing we got done yesterday was putting up our Christmas tree. It wasn't all sunshine and roses but we got it up and it looks pretty cute. Cute because it's a somewhat sparse little artificial tree we bought at Canadian Tire for $30 and we didn't buy enough beads for it. We're somewhat hopeless.

The cat only chewed on it a little which we quickly clapped at, hopefully I won't find little green "needles" in his poop tonight.

So freaking tired

Why? Why do I want sleep so badly right now? I feel like my brain isn't even working right, probably because I'm trying to cut out my morning caffeinated tea. Unfortunately honeybush isn't cutting it.

It's pretty bad if I need it to feel alert :S

Appointments

I started my job about I months ago now and I have to say, it's nice to have health and dental insurance. I've been able to make sure I'm not falling apart. I'm pretty much done with the maintenance appointments, next, wisdom tooth extractions. Yay.

Mondays are a write off

I may have fully planned my post for Monday and I still don't get it out.

However, not updating last night may have something to do with watching 9 episodes of Extras.

Anyhow, I think we'll try Tuesday to Thursday from now on for my posting schedule.

In and out

When I leave the office in the evening and the fresh, cool air hits my face I feel like I haven't taken a breath in hours.

Done!

I passed in my report last night. It feels so good to be done. What was I thinking doing a course after just graduating? I'm silly.

Posting should resume as normal tonight :)
