Full Bodied

Well, this is it. My very first Christmas away from home. And let's start this mostly positive speal off with the negative and get it out of the way. I'm in a great deal of pain. I have what I like to think of (not experience) as a full body headache, meaning everything from my pinky toe to my shoulder blades HURTS. Why? I have no idea, but let me tell you, this constant ache is making my spirits falter, not from any lack of enjoyment, but from shear exhaustion, it's draining to function day in and day out with this kind of pain. I've had it for almost a week, and no medication that I have tried even touches it. *sigh* oh well, moving on

Today has been a day of highs of lows, the highs all being this morning, the lows started this afternoon. With my love gone off to work, I acknowledge my pain more, and it's distracting. I'm making my first Christmas dinner, while cleaning the house, and I decided to bake the cake first so it would have time to cool, so, naturally, I spilled about half the dry mix all over the kitchen. WONDERFUL. This crap, is a pain in the ass to clean up off of literally surface in the room, but I managed it. I cut the recipe in half, added a couple of new ingredients, and the cake is cooling on the counter as I type this (while I should be starting the laundry I might add) and it smells mouthwatering. So that's one disaster avoided.

Now all that's left is to do the laundry, straighten up the living room, bedroom and bathroom. Make the potatoes, the rolls, the veggies, the glaze and put the ham in the oven. Take a shower, and get myself all pretty for tonight's festivities. Did I mention I have about three hours in which to make this happen. Yeah. Gtg.

oh

Merry Christmas Everyone!
