    It’s so nice not having cheer practice. Got to take a shower, folded and put away laundry, cooked dinner, and got to eat it together with the family. As Christina would say, not too shabby.

    I clocked 55 miles on the odometer today, just going back and forth between dance and tumbling. I did this after a full day of work, and then I came home and had dinner and had a Zoom meeting with my NAMI co-facilitator, took a shower, and somehow still felt like I could run around…

    I had fun with Valentine’s Day this year, which is really a testament to how I’ve been feeling for the last six months or so. I’m not sure which switch flipped or how, but this is probably the first time in my life I have actually felt good for more than a week or two.…

    It was a pretty good day. Santa knows what’s up, y’all. There was a game of Poop involved. How could you go wrong with Poop? Dinner was amazing. Maybe not beautiful, but incredibly delicious.

    Christmas was pretty great this year. The kids said a few times that Santa outdid himself this year. They literally loved everything they got. We made homemade pasta carbonara for dinner with family and it was just a nice day. We still have 275 cookies left to eat.

    Billy made an awesome dinner, including one of the juiciest turkeys I’ve ever had. All in all a pretty good Thanksgiving. Could definitely have gone very differently this year, and I’m kind of glad it didn’t.

    I feel very alone tonight. Lots to think about, very little to say.

    The last three days have been absolutely exhausting. Fun, but exhausting. I’m really glad it’s over. Back to work tomorrow. I’ll try to enjoy the small amount of downtime I’ve got left.
