Robin came with me to today’s Santa Run and I had so much fun running with her. She hasn’t been running or training, so the fact that she ran at all was awesome, and then she went and ran half a mile without stopping! We had other short intervals of running the rest of the way, which was also awesome because I assumed she’d be done after that long run. The second best thing about this race is that the medal is both sparkly AND includes Rudolph on it, complete with a light-up blinking nose!! Hands down best medal ever. Probably my favorite race ever, too.

December 10
I am teetering on the edge of being too productive this week. It’s not good to set these precedents. I have a good reason to back off, too, because I have not been sleeping well for a few nights now. I wake up into a half-sleep around 3 or 4am, stuck in a dream where I’m trying to solve an unsolvable problem. And it’s hard enough to try to do that when you’re awake… doing it while you’re sleeping is exhausting! I’m trying to figure out what it is in my life that’s making me feel stuck like this. It probably has more to do with the fact that I DON’T have a problem to solve right now that my mind is inventing things for me to solve in my sleep. I’m lacking inspiration and motivation in general, which is only exacerbated by my lack of sleep. So let’s see what happens tonight. If I can get some rest, maybe I can come up with something more fun to keep my mind occupied.

I finally stopped turning on our Christmas lights yesterday, even though it makes me a little sad. I love Christmas lights. It feels like Christmas only lasted 20 minutes this year. And when it ended, it just ended. We’ll at least have our tree until the weekend, anyway. Then I guess it’s time to move on and see what’s next.

Finished all my elfing for the week and now there’s nothing left to do before Christmas except run a 5k, go food shopping, bake four cookie recipes, and cook a three-course Christmas dinner for eight people. I do not know what will occupy my time after December 25.

Christina’s dance performance at Deck the Chairs was cancelled thanks to weather, but the studio was able to find space for them to perform for their families tonight anyway. It was adorable! I love watching my kids do their thing.
