Merry Christmas. I’m a little late to the wishing party, but right now, I have a headache subsiding and a cup of green tea cooling on the counter. This is most of what remains from the flu that has infested our lives around here. Rebecca took it full throttle on Boxing Day. I picked up where she left off the following day all the way up to right about now. And believe it or not, I’m actually feeling good. My belly is quiet, doesn’t hurt, and is retaining what is going into it. I took a short walk with Rebecca to kinda get out a little bit but also pick up some take out from Hon’s. I felt good, but just walking around made me aware of how weak I am. This is what happens when your body choses to not absorb the nutriants that you keep shoving into your body in a nearly constant basis. I miss running so much right now.
The one thing that I have discovered about Boxing Day is that it is perhaps the busiest shopping time of the year around here. There are after Christmas sales in the states, but the deals here are nuts. Take the day after Thanksgiving sales there and stretch them out over a whole week. Of course, there are much better deals on Boxing Day itself, but it seems to last even longer here. And if you think that’s nuts, I might go join the crowds this afternoon depending on Rebecca getting off work early. Being this time of year, it’s quiet around the office. I love shopping, but hate people.
