Late night check in

[nursewife]

So who else is still up? I had a very productive evening. I decorated the tree, hung garland, and decorated my main floor. I also got the entire house cleaned up. I love being so productive!

What is everyone else up to?

[CheshireGrin]

I'm writing Christmas cards! We're planning to go get our tree this Friday.

Real tree? I love our real tree. Also my first year with a real garland. Love the smell!

I am. Icing my ankle and have heat on my knee and back.

I miss being productive.  ?

This is a very new thing for me. I think it's due to changing my antidepressant. I wasn't lazy before, but was lacking a lot of ambition.

I just ate a small bowl of ketchup chips. In bed. It was glorious. I has THE longest day today.

I used to have a ton of energy but this baby takes everything out of me.  And I'm now considered high risk so I'm not allowed to do much.  I look around the house and feel so defeated.  Dh offered to unpack a bunch of boxes on sun. While I was out.  When I came back I saw he had just put them on a shelf instead them being on the floor.  I wanted to cry.  I almost did.  But I don't have the energy to do it myself.

I'm here. After an emotionally taxing evening, I'm still wide awake. I've been battling a headache all day and forgot to pick up more Advil while I was out earlier. So I decided an alcoholic beverage was a decent substitute. Its dulled it quite a bit, but it is not completely gone. I'm hoping its gone enough for me to fall asleep soon though. I'm really tired.

I felt very similar when I was pregnant. I was on bed rest from 24 weeks on. When I was exhausted, I still wasn't to do anything. The lack of Christmas prep was really upsetting to me.

I cannot imagine bed rest!  Then I absolutely would cry!

I hand addressed 32 Christmas cards so far.
I can't sleep lately. Super annoying.

[Jalapeñomel]

I'm here. I just fed D who will not go down now.

We always get a real tree! But if I did get a fake one, I think I would want it to be blue or purple or something. If it's going to be fake, then I believe it should damn well look fake. None of this business of masquerading as real trees.

I'm up to 29. I keep having to skip names on my list where I need to confirm addresses though. I feel like a shit ton of people I know have moved in the last year.

It's almost 9am here in London. I got up, made smoothies for DH and me, took the dog for a walk and going to get ready soon to head into town for a therapy session/reading for post-grad degree.

[nsl]

I was blissfully asleep until 30 minutes ago when DS2 (3 years old) woke up screaming that he wanted to go home with my parents who've been visiting from OOT and leave tomorrow. "I wanna go with Grandma and Grandpa tooooo!"

Needless to say, he's now settled back down and I'm wide awake.

namasteak - Golders Green area.

namasteak...I do love living in London. Portobello Rd is such a fun area, and now, very posh. How fun to work there over the summers. Where are you now?

[thinklikeajellyfish]

I'm still awake. Grrr. One of my cats hasn't been acting right today. I brought her in the bedroom to sleep with me so I can keep an eye on her. If she's still off tomorrow, it's to the vet we go.

Exciting Houston! Lol

The most interesting place I've lived as an adult was LA for 2.5 years. 

Hahaha. I have an uncle who is in the Soc Dept at Rice, aunt is a lawyer in Houston, and two cousins who are students at Rice.  When I was looking for jobs, it came down to Houston or London...guess what I chose? Family was both happy for me and sad for themselves.

Thanks. Her respiration rate has been elevated all day. She vomited about half an hour ago. Since then she is acting more like herself - rubbing all over everything, grooming, biting my fingers, rolling all over the place, exploring. Generally acting a fool. I hope she just had an upset tummy. She's too cute to be sick.

Does she go outside and maybe ate some grass? 

Glad to hear she is feeling better!

Indoor only. I'm going to try to sleep now, but it will be hard with this little cutie climbing all over me.
