Goodbye Dry January

This one is short & sweet and completely unnecessary but here's my official announcement that dry January is over.
Hip, hip, hooray!

Scenes from Christmas Eve & Christmas Day.

Image
I shared in the previous post that I wasn't feeling the joy that the Christmas season usually brings. That changed on Christmas Eve. Usually, Sean and I do our Christmas Eve together. We order Chinese takeout and get a nice bottle of wine. We open stocking gifts and give the fur-babies their Christmas gifts as well. Then we watch "Love Actually" my favorite Christmas movie. Sean usually falls asleep but I watch it as though it is my first time. If we both are up to it we watch a classic like Home Alone (the first one, always!) and when I know that Sean is really done for the night I'll pop in other Christmas movies like "The Holiday". When Sean said that he wanted us to drive to Upstate NY the day before Christmas Eve, I'll admit that I was bummed but I went along with it. It's a 4+ hour drive to my in-laws and unfortunately we could not start the trip until 6pm so we didn't reach our hotel until 10:30pm. We checked in, situated the dogs i...

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

Today marks exactly two years from when I was hospitalized due to a DVT in my left leg. It�s incredible how much that experience really changed my outlook on life and how because of it, it�s rare that you�ll hear me complain about anything. That experience reiterated for me just how unpredictable life is. One day you�re fine and the next you�re at death�s door. It taught me that so many of the worries I had, wouldn�t be worries in the following year, so what was the point of worrying so much? It revealed to me how much I would appreciate exercising because my body could actually do so. It was hard to see how my body had gone from doing everything on its own and then needing assistance for simple things like literally getting out of bed. It taught me how much I appreciate working because I could physically get into my car, drive the distance and sit at my desk to work. It�s not easy being told that you are not even physically fit to do a sedentary job. It was hard to feel that e...

Relaxing weekends are my jam.

Two weekends ago, the weather called for thunderstorms so we made plans to watch as many movies at home as possible. Sean is not the best movie watcher because he always falls asleep but this time around I was the one who fell asleep; not normal at all. I guess the movie �Gold� wasn�t that great to me. But know that I stayed wide awake for �Get Out� and �Split�. They were such �my mind is blown� kind of movies and I highly recommend. We took a break from movies at home to meet up with Cinthia for a Mexican brunch at Torre to celebrate her new job. Torre is now my new favorite Mexican restaurant in our area, so good! After brunch we went to see �Wonder Woman�. I�m the biggest fan of women being seen for the compassionate, intelligent and powerful beings that they are so I really enjoyed the movie. Ahhh, to think that I have a four day weekend coming right up to do all the relaxing I can. If you can't tell, I'm extremely excited! Cinthia and I started with the Blood ...
