Good morning! Hope everyone had a nice holiday and long weekend (or are still enjoying time off!) Hard to believe Christmas is already over, but at least having this week in between Christmas and NYE/NYD means we're not really back to reality until next week! This week always feels so strange- I'm usually working most of it but it's so quiet and feels like everyone is still in vacation mode, and no one is rushing to get anything done, which is fine with me! I'm in the office today and Friday, hopefully WFH tomorrow but I need to make sure my other boss can be in since my main boss will want one attorney to be in and he and my coworker are both out this week. Since I started typing this, today has actually already gotten a little busier - nothing super urgent, just a couple early calls and since my boss is out, a lot of his stuff is coming my way. Hopefully it's generally a pretty quiet day though.

I had a really nice Christmas Eve and Christmas - it was busy but relaxing. Still definitely glad I took off yesterday to just have a day to lounge around and recover from the holiday craziness. I went through gifts and got mostly everything put away - sometimes just getting everything unboxed and separating out all the packaging feels like it can take awhile! I also started on thank you notes, hoping to get those all done in the next couple weeks so it doesn't linger over my head. I'll make Cam do some too but his writing is sloppy and I don't know how good he is at writing heartfelt messages so the control freak in me will probably prefer to do most of them LOL.

I still can't seem to totally kick this cold I've been battling for almost 4 weeks now. It seemed to get better before the wedding than worse again after (in part from the lack of sleep I'm sure) and then better and worse again- every time I'm about to go to urgent care it seems to subside, but then keeps coming back. The cough and congestion aren't bad but my tonsils are super swollen and my throat still hurts so may just have them take a look.

A: Peloton.. 40 min cardio HIIT, 20 min bodyweight strength (my kickboxing gym is closed this week so I'll go work out at my parents' house)

B: grits with turkey sausage crumbles and cheese
L: leftover tomato turkey orzo with roasted broccoli
S: banana
D: crock pot turkey enchilada quinoa

Hope everyone has a great day, and is recovered/recovering from Christmas!

I'm here, WFH today. I had a great holiday weekend! Friday night (seems so long ago!) I met up with Erin, my mom, and sister for dinner.

Saturday I met up with Jen and Kim for brunch, gifts & cruise planning. Kim surprised us with treating us to the special steakhouse on the cruise one night! Very excited about that. That evening we met up with my parents & sister for dinner and they also came by to see our Christmas display and so my dad could meet Winter

Sunday for Christmas eve we went to my aunt/uncles further out in VA and had a great time! Thankfully my parents were able to come and it was a nice day with eating, playing games, drinking wine, and opening gifts. Everyone loved the ornaments I had made with my Grandma's picture on them <3 Once we were back home, I still had to do the 3 stockings and a few final gifts needed wrapping.

Christmas day was good, too. Cody was really happy with his iPad and Brandon's big gift was some Caps tickets (2 games for him & James, and 1 game for all four of us). I got James his Nationals ticket pack too, which is three games. My parents & sister came over in the afternoon and stayed for dinner.

Yesterday I took the day off to relax & recouperate. I went to Zumba last night after realizing it was Tuesday after the Zumba instructor posted about class, hahah. She called me up to teach a routine & told everyone about my MixxedFit class. The Y was pretty quiet, as expected. I fixed dinner and got a good night's sleep.

WFH today and no other plans. My parents already stopped by on their way back to SC so I got big hugs.

Have a great Wednesday!! It's been a busy few days so I am glad to have some downtime now.

B: 2 deviled eggs, 1 pickled egg, protein water
L: Leftovers - broccoli casserole, GB casserole, ham
D: (Probably) Hello Fresh italian chicken subs with potato wedges
Exercise: tone/stretch
