Good morning.

mrsconn23

It's raining out...again.  Blerg. 

I need to get my nieces gifts out today.  I tried to go to the post office yesterday and it was a fcking zoo.  I think I'll try the UPS store on my lunch. 

My aunt (dad's sister) wants to do 'Christmas' on Thursday after my uncles funeral.  I think it's going to be awkward and depressing...I hope I'm wrong.

Last day of work before Christmas.  YAY.  I hope I get all my files closed.

Rain here too.  That's fine I need to finish cleaning the house today.  It sucks I can't send them out to play though.  I got us doc's appts at 1:40 tomorrow which is perfect since the showing is at 130.  My friend has an interview with the university this week.  I think it's a sign of a Christmas miracle.

Good luck thursday.  There is no telling how that will go, but for everyone's sake I hope it goes well.

I did something to my neck last night and I am moving like a robot this morning.  I just took a bottle of Advil, so here's hoping that loosens things up.

I need to get my desk cleared by the time I leave today to feel good for Wednesday. I anticipate this feel goodedness will result in me working late.

I also need to stop by the bar tonight and reclaim my debit card.  (grumble).   I'm glad xH is watching DD tonight.  I also need to pack us up.

Just gloomy here.

I caught H's and M's cold. I feel like hell and I have to clean the entire apartment to sparkling tonight. Tomorrow night we're having our NY Burning Man campmates over for a Very Burner Hanukkah. I also have to go to the store tonight and BuyBuyBaby. How the hell does a BRU in NYC *not* have Hanukkah onsies?

We had M's first therapy session last night and got some tips for play time at home. Today at daycare she's having feeding/speech therapy.

eeeeewwwwwwww

That's gross for everyone.

**O-Face**

What.  Barfed?  That is weird.

I'm so sore this morning. I am doing this program that is kind of kicking my butt.  I like it, but the whole...I can't lift my arms thing gets old fast. 

I'm also hoping that H and i can get out and finish our shopping tonight.

It's not your job to clean it up, right?

Not my job per se, but I am the only one who can stomach it.  I did a preliminary clean up, the receptionist is doing the second cleaning.  (sigh)  

I guess I'm one attorney short today.

Um, why on Earth is this a good idea?  Who wants to associate thier gifts with the death of a loved one?

Please don't get me started.  I think it's a terrible idea.  TERRIBLE.  So do my sisters.

But we've been asked pretty please by my very tired and very sad parents to 'just go along' with it.   And they really don't ask much of us...ever.

~~Busy.~~

Yet you are going along with it. I hope you are going as spectators and not actually bringing your presents from home.

mrsconn23

No, I'm not bringing any gifts.  

I did ask if there was any way that they could just give us the gifts and we could open them on Christmas at our house.   I'd even take video of my kids opening their stuff from them and send it right away. 

The request is still pending.

~~Busy.~~

Okay, my faith in you has been restored a bit.

I ended up taking a Zofran and a 3 hour nap yesterday, and as of about 6 felt fine until I tried to eat anything. I managed about half a cup of apple sauce, four slices of canned peach, and a milkshake for the whole day. Then I went to bed at 10. My stomach felt fine when I got up today, but I'm incredibly sore and achey (I feel like I did about 1000 squats--every muscle from my belly button to my knees hurts). The worst of it is I had a long list of things I wanted to get done yesterday, and absolutely none of it happened. Now I need to be doubly productive today, but all I want is a long massage and more sleep.

I'm here....and that is my biggest success of the day...no real work yet.

It's cold out, but no rain...that was yesterday.

Today is the office cookie exchange, but I also have to start a new project which is something I have never done before. I am excited for the opportunity, but I can't get my butt to match my brain right now. Move dammmit. Move.
