I haven't posted in a while. Inspiration and motivation has been lacking and in a good way, my usual symptoms have been simmering on manageable which counts as a win in my book.
I've been trundling along at work and distracting myself with plans for Christmas and just generally keeping myself on the level.
Bargaining with my body can be a bit of a perilous endeavour. Sometimes it's stalwart in the face of a potential flare-up, and at other times it throws a tantrum due to no discernable triggers.
When you're a hermit like me, having things to look forward to is so important, even if it's just a quiet movie night, trip to the pub or wrapping Christmas presents.
It's my 40th birthday on Boxing Day (December 26th) which I'm sure you can appreciate, is not an ideal day to try to organise anything and I'm okay with that. Boxing Day is for cheese coma and liver pickling.
Since it's a milestone birthday (for reasons?) I had a party on Saturday with my husband, brother and dearest friends. It was loads of fun. We had already put the "Batmas" tree up and other assorted Christmas decorations the weekend before and I wore a super sparkly dress for the occasion. There was also a delivery of Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
I was completely spoilt with incredibly thoughtful cards and gifts. The most special part of the evening though was just seeing everyone. It means so much, especially when people have to travel to get here.
Other than the need for codeine the morning of the party, I was largely able to just enjoy myself.
Sunday morning was rough but that was self-inflicted!
Absolutely worth it!
Today is another story. I don't think I'm in full flare-up territory, but Henning is remonstrating with me today about the weekend's shenanigans.
The bill comes due. Always.
I'm codeined and cattened up and just going to take it easy this week until the invoice has been paid.
