Sorry to be checking in so late today! Had a bit of a busy-ish day.
200 on the dot even with all the recreational eating done yesterday. Was a lovely, lovely Christmas Day with Ron's family. The drive was really easy with only very light rain and easy traffic. Really good food, excellent desserts and delightful people - can't really ask for more.
Had fun watching a few Christmas movies last night, too. Those Hallmark movies really are schmaltzy, but you know, they can be fun, too. We watched one because my SIL said that one of the characters reminded her of me. The character didn't really remind me of me. The character was obviously gay/effeminate, honestly blunt and a caricature of a gay party boy. Other than gay and blunt, I failed to see similarities, but you know... to each his own. If that's how she sees me, so be it. Ron's hackles were raised by the comparison. He disagreed vehemently. Gotta love him for defending my honor! The other one we watched was The Holiday Sitter, Hallmark's 2022 gay Christmas movie.
Today things went back to normal for me. Took Molly for a progesterone test, stopped at the pharmacy to pick up my meds for upcoming surgery, popped into the grocery to get eggs, made lunch, met with the NUT therapist, and hit the gym. Ron took a well deserved "slug" or PJ day. He's beat after 3 masses between Christmas Eve and Day (plus all the prep they take), and the excursion to Sonoma.
Left overs for dinner.
CC, Paula, safe travels home. Diamond D, hope you are still enjoying your children. Hosting is exhausting and stressful! Sorry you were a tad overwhelmed. Diane S. glad the rain didn't impact your day. It was pretty intense here Christmas Eve, but by morning the powerful part of the storm had passed through. Liz, your Christmas sounds like it was pretty perfect. Lucky you! Hope the sinus infection clears!
Cheers!
More on the road actually! Nice visit but I will be glad to be back to our new home. Being back in our old town didn't make us want to move back! Perhaps if it was in July! lol!

That was a whirlwind trip! Safe travels. You'll know those roads very well after your multiple trips.
Wow! What a quick trip with all that driving! Seems like you will have spent as many days driving as you did up north? But worth the family holiday time, I am sure!

Christmas celebrated with the kids last night. Grocery dinner was only okay. It wasn't mama's cooking but mama didn't need to do much more than warm it up! Presents were opened, games were played, it was fun.
DSD didn't end up staying at our Air Bnb after all but came over for the Christmas festivities. At least she wasn't pissy! She invited a friend to join in which was fine. Got to meet DS2s boyfriend. Seems like a nice chap.
Laundry done and bags mostly packed. We will go out for pizza tonight with DSD. DS2 and DS3 are already gone, DC1 still hanging out with us but won't do pizza with us because unfortunately DSDs aunt and uncle will be joining us and she talks nonstop and is just a lot!
Will go to bed early with a 5am departure planned. 13 plus hours to our first stop which is Chattanooga. Looking forward to being back in FL. Thankfully we should miss the snow that is supposed to start Sunday.

Tee Tee tell your DH that Gorilla Glue works best. Epoxy - not so much. ds

It sounds like a lovely low drama day at your parent's home yesterday. I think you all needed that. And I agree, hosting is exhausting. Best to pass it to our children if/when we can or figure out how to lighten the load as Paula did.

Ditto a chuckle over you gluing your shoes together. My DH does that until they no longer hold...

It will all work out - you will see! (Says she who never sleeps the night before a trip ;))
