NJM 26

Got a better night’s sleep last night (sleeping pill = better living through chemistry lol). I still feel drained and physically stressed/tired today but it is better than yesterday. And the work week is offically 2/3 over. And the apartment is coming together for thursday. I’m nervous, but also excited to be hosting my first thanksgiving dinner and glad that I could take over the tradition from my parents. We have 18 people coming for dinner (!!!! omg crazy!!!!) and then Holly and Moats will be joining us for dessert. I’m cooking the turkey and making my dad’s stuffing and everyone else is bringing other parts of the meal. I’m a little nervous about everyone being able to have somewhere comfortable to sit, and nervous about cooking the turkey but also excited. Even though it is stressful, I am doing this because it is something I want to do.

As for the other stresses, I don’t feel like writing about it (and some of it I can’t write about cuase it’s work related and just feel sad for some of my kiddos). But there is enough going on ontop of the usual stuff that drains me this time of year (work, cold, darkness), that I’m feeling out of sorts. But I will just keep putting one foot in front of the other until the light appears at the end of the tunnel — which will either mean things have gotten better or that the lights are attached to the train that’s about to hit me 😉

Hope everyone else’s short work week is going well.
