Putting Away Christmas
Good morning.
Well thanks to that 5 hour nap I had yesterday afternoon, I was up all night. There I was at 2 a.m baking fruit-filled muffins for Hubby. He had wanted me to make them earlier, so he could take some to work, but I didn't feel like it earlier. Come 2 a.m and I'm raring to go. I figured it was the least I could do, he is so good to me. The dinner he cooked was very good by the way. Even though the recipe is on the box, I think I screwed it up with that New Years Day batch. It calls for 3/4 cup water and I think I used 1 3/4 cups! No wonder the batter was so runny! I noticed this time when stirring the batter it was quite thick. Lesson to learn here, do not bake with a hangover lol.
Well hell, I can't believe the holidays are all over and done with for another year. It goes by too fast! I am strangely NOT depressed over it though. Prior to taking this new wonder-drug I would be sobbing and bawling and whining. I would feel so down. That itself is proof positive to me that the drug is working. Yeah, I wish it could be Christmas all the time, I'll miss the trees and lights and decorations and people and partying, but I now have the ability to tell myself, it's ok, in just a year it will be Christmas again, another chance to do it all over again, maybe even better next time! I KNOW it can't be Christmas all the time, and besides that would just make it boring, rather than special. It's kind of like how I've always liked the seasons, because each one is different, and that's one good reason to live here, rather than somewhere tropical, warm sunshine all the time would just get boring, got to have the cold and snow to shake things up a bit. And, it doesn't have to be Christmas to make and eat lots of good food, to party, to visit with people, to give gifts, to enjoy life and feel happy!
Leaps and bounds folks, leaps and bounds.
In fact, Hubby's birthday is coming up, it's one month away. That's an excellent reason to celebrate and have a party. I think we will then. We used to, but haven't really for a couple of years, we're due.
So I went to bed just as it was time to get Hubby up for work. He was happy to have muffins. And I'm not all depressed. Rather than getting upset or sad about putting all the Christmas stuff away, I'm figuring out which of my cool possessions I'm going to replace it with on the mantle. This is such a new thing for me, I'm always sad when the holidays are over. I'm liking this. I can't wait to see that doctor again so I can tell him he's the man lol.
Well, I guess that's pretty much the plan for today, putting away Christmas stuff.
Have a great day!
