Today was a challenge. This morning, I had to leave my husband’s side to return to work. It was tough for me, after more than a week of full-time quasi-nursing care. But I did it.
Thanks to the cold I picked up in the hospital, I’ve been operating in something of a fog. But this IT stuff digs me out of that. It’s something relatively unemotional that forces me to think further than the surface. It’s a needed distraction. I spent a bulk of my day doing Intranet design. Have a table… must convert to sidebar….. 🙂
Yesterday, my daughter and I left the house for an hour to attend a reading activity at her school. We went in our jammies. We cuddled up on the floor and she read to me, and she read very well. I was so proud of her.
After an hour, Santa showed up! He read another two books to them, then it was cookies and hot chocolate for everyone.
It was a surprisingly good time. As I go through the holidays, it’s fun to create new traditions with my family. It’s as though Christmas is being remade into something of our own.
