I'm feeling a little bummed today. I flew back home to celebrate Xmas with my parents and siblings this weekend so I can celebrate on the 25th with my H. He can't join me this weekend since he is working, and I found out before I left that he is is working nights next week do my plans for a fancy dinner for the two of us on the 25th are shot.
I'm sad that I'll be the only one without my spouse today and Christmas Day is going to be more lonely than I expected. He's a first year resident so I know he has to work a lot but I'm just feeling a little sad today.

I had a dream that the Obamas came over to my parents' house for dinner. (They live in the less-fancy part of the city where the first family vacations over the holidays.) BO wore a tux, and MO wore a gorgeous black and white gown... to a dinner in which we had to pull random chairs from the outside patio to squeeze around their dining room table!
I planned a girls night out tonight to celebrate my 40th and invited a very specific group of women. One of them has gone from trying to bring her new boyfriend along (which I found out about through the others and headed off), and now she's texting me that she invited a new friend along.
I needed time to formulate a response that didn't incorporate a WTF tone.
Apparently we're getting a puppy today. The dad of one of H's employees took two lab/rottie mix puppies off of someone who was going to take them to a shelter (really people? Spaying your dog does not cost much.) and he only has room for one. Anyway, H called me and asked if he could bring her home and I said yes. We're gonna call her a Christmas present for the boys.

ALSO I'm going to the Raider game tomorrow and I totally forgot about the stupid clear bag rule. So now I know I'm going to spend my day looking for something I can wear to the game that has a pocket big enough for my phone.
H and I are going to see Beauty and the Beast tonight with his family.
ETA: And now we are getting guilt-tripped by his family because we aren't going to have dinner with them and instead we want to see a friend we haven't seen in over a year.

I've gone out six nights in the last nine. I hit my wall and so I'm not going out tonight. But I don't think I've gained any weight from this which makes me happy - on the days I haven't eaten and drank huge amounts, I've not been hungry so I've under eaten my maintenance calories. I'm sure I'll recover just in time to celebrate a gazillion more days over the holidays.

I am now the proud owner of a long sleeved (with thumb holes!), sweat wicking running shirt that has a side pocket that will never, ever see a single run.

The pocket holds my phone & it fits under my jersey. I'm wearing it to the game tomorrow. See above NFL complaint.

We were supposed to go to a Christmas party tonight but instead we're sitting in the ER waiting for H to get stitches. The Christmas season chaos wouldn't be complete without a trip to the ER, after all.
My sister is being an ass about us coming down for Christmas since we aren't staying the night in a shitty hotel nearby for one night for no reason. I want to tell her she should be happy because then she won't have to pretend to be a host as long that way since she can barely bother to lift a finger when she has guests over any way.

We've been here for 4 hours and they just got us in a room. I'm desperately trying to distract myself from how hungry I am, because it's 9:30 and I haven't had dinner.

On the bright side they gave him Vicodin and he is slightly loopy and being unintentionally funny. He keeps telling me that he loves me, and thanked me for spending his Saturday night with him (what was I going to do, leave you to bleed everywhere?)

We splurged for a suite for our anniversary week, and it was SO worth the exorbitant cost. We have 2 bathrooms and 2 TVs. These things a happy marriage make.
