How was everyone's Christmas?? 

H surprised me with diamond stud earrings. And we had said we weren't exchanging this year, so I had nothing for him! Other notable gifts - my parents gave me some new (very nice) knives and pajamas. My brother and SIL gave me a hilarious 90s trivia game and some very nice smelling candles. 

We had a great time Xmas eve and stayed up to midnight. Xmas day was very relaxing. I just watched TV and did laundry. Oh, and ate. A lot. Phew. 

Work is going to be insanely slow today and tomorrow, and I'm already tired of it.

    It was nice.  I was having some sensory overload and sleepy issues, and then started my period, so all of that made sense.  Both sets of parents were overly generous to both K and me.

    K got the weighted blanket that we had discussed.  It has a "cooling" technology in it, that we had thought would make it more appealing for me.  So far, I'm not handling the weighted blanket well and have thrown it off in the middle of the night both nights we've had it so far.  K adores it.  I got some more of my dishes, we both got nice Ulta GCs, K got a bag they had been coveting, and K's parents paid for our NYE adventure which was completely unexpected and sweet.  My boss got me a Rose Apothecary coffee mug (from Schitt's Creek) that I love so much.  It was a good Christmas, but I'm ready for the holiday season to be over.  I do love NYE, so I'm looking forward to that.

    I'm the only person on my side of the building and while I love my little triad (me and 2 co-workers I like that sit right next to me), the other 2 co-workers in my area are loud and sometimes make me irritated and they're gone too!!!  So yay for some quiet days in the office!!

    Christmas Eve H worked, and I stayed in all day, and ordered chinese food.  I actually watched don’t f**k with cats on netflix and realized halfway through that I really wasn’t doing anything chrismassy. 
    Christmas day H was off till 4:30 p.m. We went to ihop, saw frozen II and chilled at starbucks till they closed.  Then I went home and watched “very merry scary christmas” on trvl. H got off work at 3:30 a.m. so since he woke me up when he came in, we opened gifts then. Back to bed at 5 a.m. Up again at 6:30 to go to work!

    Ooooh nice @climbingwife, diamond earrings - can’t go wrong there.
    i don’t think I’d do well with a weighted blanket wither @VarunaTT, I would have been like you and thrown it off halfway through the night.  I’m also sad about schitt’s creek ending because it’s such a good show!!

    I'm here. Office is pretty quiet. I have a few things I really need to get done today but I am not motivated at all. 

    Christmas was good. We didn't do presents so it felt different although B still got presents so it wasn't like an empty tree. He was on toy/food/sensory overload so the afternoon and evening were a bit rough. Now to go through his toys and try to get rid of some old ones to make room for the new.  I'm off next week so that is one of my goals

    I'm here. Working from home today but I'll be in the office tomorrow. So far I've gotten one email since 8 am when I logged on. I have a couple projects I should start but no motivation.

    I skipped Christmas Eve with H's extended family because emotionally I couldn't handle it. Christmas Day was better. H loved his gifts and the time with his parents was less stressful than I anticipated it to be. My dad also joined us at my in-laws house, which was a nice surprise because normally he's pretty introverted.  

    Tomorrow we have another non-stress test and ultrasound for the baby. We've got all our fingers crossed that she's healthy, that she's grown and that my fluid levels are still okay!

    @VarunaTT H and I both tried weighted blankets and neither of us really cared of them. In my case it actually made my anxiety and sleep issues worse because I felt super constricted. H just didn't prefer the weight and the ones we tried made him SUPER hot.

    Christmas Eve felt like a whirlwind. I worked half day, then rushed to FSIL’s place for the family lunch she was hosting. Then we went home and I cleaned house and did laundry. We briefly ended up back at FSIL’s place for some games and drinks, but we were all really tired. Yesterday went well for the most part. We slept in, made breakfast, then I took a nap. I’m still under the weather. FSIL and her FI came over around six and I made dinner. Of course I made way too much food. It was pretty good until FI started being a drama llama about asking him to help me put stuff away. I don’t know why he was being such an ass last night. He didn’t cook or help me prepare anything. I’m still feeling off about it. 

    I’m back at work today and tomorrow and bummed about it. I’d really love to be sleeping all day and recovering. And I’m all alone today and tomorrow. I don’t know if I’ll get any more training for the job from here on out.

    VERY disturbing.  You will cry.  Getting through ep 1 is the hardest.  My bro/sil told me they watched 2 eps of it and then googled the outcome but really if you made it past the 2 eps, just finish the last one!

    I'm in post-Christmas sloth mode.  I don't wanna move.  DefConn picked up a cold from my nephews, and he was O-V-E-R all the people, noise, little kids touching his shit, etc.  He does have a duplicate thing that needs to go back to Kohl's, but IDK if we're going to venture out today or tomorrow.   

    Like DefConn...I need this decompression.  We're both extroverted introverts, so having our space invaded makes us both a little batty after a few days.  DH had to go to work, boo.  

    I got only a few things.  In the gift exchange, I got a projection alarm clock that has bluetooth and wireless charging.  DH got dry bags and a solar power bank, which will be great for boating. 

    We had the best time tailgating on Sunday and going to the Colts game.  Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were fine.  It was such nice weather that we were on the deck at my sister's house.

    I'm here.  Don't want to be working - very unmotivated.  The last few days have been too hectic, and I'm going to visit in ILs tonight and my sister on the weekend so they are going to keep being hectic for a while.  I need a quiet day off!

    Our holiday was nice. DS was so cute when he can downstairs and saw his new push car. There were a couple presents set in it and he just threw them off to the side and tried to push/pull the car out. He mostly just ran it into the tree, lol. He eventually figured out there were other presents but had to take a break for breakfast and a nap before opening the rest. He stayed up late so we could do Skype calls with the families. 

    Today was pretty much back to normal. DH had to go into work, even though he was supposed to be off, in order to set some things up for next week. The guy who was supposed to be in charge of the next project (starting January 2) quit so DH is afraid they are going to ask him to do it and wants to be prepared. I had a few classes tonight. I haven't really been telling my clients that I am leaving. I don't want to make a big deal of it, they will just get transferred to another trainer, and I kind of feel like that is between them and the office to sort out. Maybe that is just me being lazy/ done with it, idk.
