Holidays = Stress

Why is it that Holidays bring out the stress in people. This year I got my Christmas shopping done last night. Woot one week before Christmas. I have all the presents wrapped except two and just need to finish crafting Ryan's mom and sisters presents and then find a cute bow. My family on the other hand... seemed to start shopping today. Christmas cookies are not made yet, party plans are in the air and yet brings more and more stress. Oh I love the holidays.

I promise I really do I just wish it wasn't so stressful. Poor Ryan hasn't had time either as he is building the shop everyday which is coming together very fast. Ill post pictures soon. The roof got delayed until Monday and the door and windows till Thursday. So that puts us two days before Christmas. Lovely how construction has set backs.

With my toe surgery I was just told that I need to be out of work for another 6 weeks. This could get interesting as I'm about to run out of PTO. The surgery went differently than planned and instead of putting a pin in my toe they have to put a plate with four screws. This seems to take longer to heel. Also because I can't sit still one of the screws shifted to close to my joint and now has to be removed in a month. Oh joy. :/

For now I'm trying to only be on my feet for an hour at a time and take it easy. This will get boring very fast. I'm am trying to be active and do exercise that does not involve moving my feet. And when my car is fixed (Tuesday) I can go to the gym again!

Despite all these set backs I still love the Christmas season. I'm excited to spend it with my family and Ryan's. Tonight we are going to look at lights and I hope this will help put me into the Christmas mood. If not ill have to make more cookies :)
