Merry Christmas!! There's no place like home...

Well, it has been a long time since I've posted. I usually don't have any extra time in life. This is good though, to have a break. However this break didn't come without some hardships.

Yesterday was Christmas Eve. I worked half a day at the clinic and then paniced a little thinking I was going to be late for the train. Mark and Lisa were giving me a ride which I was grateful for but I had been holding out so much hope for getting home for Christmas that I was so nervous about not making it for various reasons. All sorts of scenarios were playing in my head. I was really looking forward to coming home for Christmas. But even with the weather they got me to the train station with an hour to spare! The train was scheduled to leave Seattle at 5:30 p.m. I found out that the train was an hour and a half late. Well, that'd make its new time to leave around 7 p.m. So much for that. We boarded at 8:30 p.m. We LEFT Seattle at 9:23. I arrived in Kelso at 12:30 a.m. What a day! By the time I got on the train my back, neck and shoulders were killing me! I fell asleep on the train and was lucky to wake up in time to get off at Kelso (I slept hard!) and then called my parents to pick me up. Surprisingly they were still awake.

My migraine came back today. I've had it ebbing off and on for the last 3 days. I was not happy when it raised its ugly head this morning. I've spent all day on Christmas trying to get rid of it. But I'm feeling much better now.

It was really funny though because here I was half asleep and I remembered something I was supposed to show April how to do for clinic tomorrow that I totally forgot to do. So I put in a call to home... no one is as concerned about it as I am.... Problem with anxiety? Me? Really? Can't imagine... (tongue in cheek)

Mom and I are going shopping tomorrow. I need boots that fit. With all the snow we've been having I've been having some feet issues because my boots are too loose. I'm looking forward to getting a good pair of hiking boots that will double for the winter and snow.

Okay, so enough of the random thoughts... good night!
