Annnnnd we made it! The 9 Days of KtotehChristmas draws to a close today! Unfortunately, I don’t have anything real exciting for our final day. In fact, I have the anti-climax for this final day. What’s that you ask? A whole bunch of NOTHING! Today I woke up sick. It wasn’t really surprising after several days of fighting off this lurking icky-ness, today it finally culminated in some REAL symptoms. Correction: last night it culminated.
Whilst Santa made his visits delivering presents, I spent my night between bed, the couch, and the kitchen. Twas most unpleasant. Buuuut, that’s the way it goes. This morning when my family woke up, I took some NyQuil so I could pass out get get the sleep I failed to achieve the night before. I made it through breakfast and most of the present opening and then went to bed. Then I spent most of the day on the couch while my family visited Marcia’s Mike’s grandma’s house for a potluck and gift exchange and a pick up kickball game. You can imagine my disappointment at missing all of this, but I really wasn’t up for it. I slept and slept some more. Ha. And now, after being up for about 5 hours, I’m ready to go back to bed.
Hopefully tomorrow will bring my health back, at least somewhat. I’d like to hit the beach since the weather is so nice here in Flat Top. :) We shall see.
Sorry for the whole KtotheChristmas bummer here. Lol. Before I go, I’ll share a few tid bits to leave things on a higher note!
1) Nathan (my nugget nephew) made out like a bandit this year! Ha! It was funny because he had a huge pile of presents and after the first one was unwrapped, he said, “Open?” and then only wanted to play with it. Lol. He also did that for just about every other present he unwrapped. Haha. It was so cute. Goes to show you kids that young (or any age really) don’t need quite so many toys. But, we do know how (and like) to spoil him. :D
2) This year we did a “Secret Santa” deal and it turns out mine was Jennifer! I was REALLY impressed with her. :D She got me a Gator snow hat and a scarf that’ll be AWESOME to wear while snowboarding. I’m planning to go on New Years’ Day so I’ll get to try it out soon!!! Also she got me some of my FAVORITE perfume that I happen to be out of! :)
3) One of the highlights of Christmas morning was a TOTAL surprise present from one particularly special person. :) Amanda, who you all ought to know by now, sent me a present here to Marcia and Mike’s house. After contacting Marcia and setting it up to surprise me, she mailed a gift here to be presented to me on Christmas. So, as we divided up the presents into piles this morning, there it was, a present from Amanda (which I at first thought was a joke from one of my family members). Super sweet, right?!? :) I thought so too… :D
I’ll guess I’ll stop there. Three is a nice round number as far as ‘tid bits’ go. So okay, maybe this post isn’t a total bummer afterall! :) Keep an eye out for more KtotheC posts. Even though our KtotheChristmas festivities are over, I’ve quite enjoyed this last week or so and I’d like to keep my momentum! :)
I hope all your Christmases and/or any other holiday celebrations were wonderful! Thanks for reading. Till next time…
