Monday....Sigh.

It was SO HARD to get out of bed this morning.... the freezing rain woke me up a few times through the night. It was dark, cold, rainy all the live long day. I turned up the heat when I got home from work, put the pj's on right away and am now content on the couch, wrapped up in my favorite blanket.

The rest of the weekend was really great. We had a lot of fun Saturday night when we went out for drinks downtown for a friend's birthday. Then Sunday we watched some Seinfeld, the movie Street Fighter, my sister and her fiance came over for a visit.... we even got some afternoon Christmas shopping done! Found a great Christmas gift for Val! Slowly but surely we're getting through all of the Christmas shopping. I try to put a lot of thought into each gift and it ends up being stressful! More than worth it when I see people open the gifts I've picked out for them though. At 4:30pm, we arrived at Brian's parent's house for a pot roast dinner. Brian and his Dad spent most of the night going over his exam.... I played cards with his Mom, his sister and his sister's boyfriend. They joined us at the end of the evening for a last couple of games. We got home around 9pm, I called my Mom to chat for a few minutes and then it was time to get ready for bed!

Work felt really busy today... so it went by fast, but it wasn't an overly enjoyable day. I'm feeling really healthy though, which is great! Really been focusing on staying healthy throughout the cold and flu season. So far so good!
