I'm here. Just finished wrapping everything and exchanged gifts with DH. I'm all ready except I would like to find one more thing for SIL. I'm working this week, hopefully leaving around lunch on Wednesday.

I'm here for a bit. I'm working thru Christmas Eve and then off until Jan. 5th. DH is home until Jan. 5th since his work does shut down for most of the time and he used another 3 days to not work for 2 weeks.

Took DD to her first in theater movie (Annie)
Just gave my husband his Christmas/thank you for being so amazing with this horrible and crazy year I have had. I bought him a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue. He is over the moon right now.
I am here and tired from my day at work (trying to get caught up/ahead), my 9.5 mile run and now I am 2 drinks in. We're watching the AZ football game. I cannot believe tomorrow is Monday
I am getting ready to go to bed. I'm working Mon-Wed and Friday. I'm on call on Christmas Day.
I have been sick since Thursday. I think I may be turning a corner but sometimes my work schedule sucks so much that I really need the weekend to relax and refresh. I'm kind of bummed that didn't happen this weekend. Oh well.
I finished wrapping all of my presents this weekend and it feels good to be done.
I'm here. I was out at stores all day picking up a few last minute odds and ends, and candy making ingredients. The stores were surprisingly not that crowded, which was nice. Then I came home and wrapped and cleaned, and now DH and I are watching old Simpsons Christmas episodes, lol.
DH and I are both off until 2015. Woo! Tomorrow is candy making day (buckeyes, truffles, fudge), Tuesday we hope to get a movie or a museum, then it's four days of all family, all the time.

I'm here. I ended up having back surgery yesterday and got home a few hours ago. I am so tired and my incision site is sore, but my butt and hips, where all of my pain was, is already feeling a lot better and I have been able to stand and sit with limited pain. I am so relieved!
@irene adler just want to give creepy internet hugs. I can untag later so you're not linked with this post. (ETA: nevermind, can't get the tag to work!)
As per my "how was 2014 for you" post, I had many similar days this past year. I was thisclose to seeing a therapist on my own at least to see if that would help. I'm not sure what the switch was but things got better before I needed to do that. There was a lot of me making not-so-subtle comments like "this is not what I signed up for" and "you knew that ____ was a dealbreaker before we got married so why are you asking me to live with it now?" I think those comments were enough to get things moving in a new direction. Ugh.
I'm here, though I'm about to head upstairs and watch something on Prime/ Netflix with H. We're actually pulling the trigger on a Europe trip and I have a bunch of reading to do to help H plan the trip.
Y'all. I was so horribly hungover today. I may go on the wagon for the month of January. I was incapacitated until at least 4pm. I kept puking and then mentally beating myself up. Why did I drink so much? WHY?
Oh man KaraOrNot! I'm glad you are already feeling better but surgery this close to the holidays sounds like no fun at all!
I am just relaxing. We got home from 5 days in Vegas Friday night and had DH's family over to our house for Christmas yesterday. We have 3 more Christmas celebrations between now and Saturday. One we are hosting and one that is a 4 hour one way trip. It's the most wonderful time of the year......
I'm here! Just watching Marco Polo on Netflix (which seems good, but hasn't hooked me yet). I just finished wrapping the last gifts, so I'm just relaxing.
Today was a really nice day - we saw Mockingjay at 10am (who knew - movie tickets are only $5 in the morning, so we may make this a more regular thing since we NEVER see movies due to the hassle and expense. There were maybe 10 people in the theater, it cost $10 total, and the theater is 2 minutes from home. Score!). Then we basically just hung out and did things around the house. I can't wait until BF is DONE with school, because he's on break right now and it's so fun. He still has research and crap to do, but it's less demanding for the next few weeks so it's really nice.
I hate that I have to work tomorrow - I've had off a week or more around the holidays for the last several years, and wish I did this year! I'm off Wednesday-Sunday so I can't complain too much I guess, but I don't wanna work tomorrow!

Yay! Good luck with the recovery. So glad it's looking promising:)

KaraOrNot, the surgery sounds like such a drag, but I'm glad that you're finding some relief already
irene adler, I can't imagine why anyone would think it was okay to say something like that. Huge WTF.
I'm turning in soon, just enjoying the peace and quiet for a bit. We had FIL, MIL, and some cousins for a big dinner last night and were pretty involved with the Hanukkah party at our synagogue tonight. All gifts are mailed, and most cards are in the mail, too. It feels WONDERFUL. I work through Wednesday and then am off until January 5 with almost no plans. So excited!
Laying in bed regretting eating so many latkes today!
We had a really fun day at our friends' house, but for some reason my stomach was starting to rebel after we came home. It seems to have calmed down and I should be fine.
Not psyched about working this week, but it should be super quiet.
