Merry Christmas Eve

I'm really struggling this morning. I feel better than I did yesterday but my head is pounding and my shoulder is killing me. I'm hoping the 3 ibuprofen that I popped will kick in soon and take away this pain which in turn will hopefully allow me to choose a better attitude. It didn't help that I got up at 4:30 and couldn't get back to sleep. And then after I did yoga, I came downstairs to some sort of stupid music that Jim had put on the Alexa. I finally told him to "Shut that stupid shit off!" It was awful. He said it was King Crimson and it was fucking annoying. I don't ever want to hear that noise again. Not the way I wanted to ease into this day that's going to be filled with me running around like a chicken with my head cut off. 

The problem is that I was feeling so terrible yesterday that aside from going to the grocery and somehow getting the Brunswick made, I could do little else. This means that I have a lot to do today and Jim's working a 1/2 day. He said he'd be home by noon but I'll believe that when I see it. After I get off here, I'll start cleaning. I need to make the brownies and I don't know...figure shit out. Actually, sitting here thinking about stuff, I really don't have that much to do. Most of it can't be done until near to the time everyone will arrive. Maybe I'll get a nap it. I just hope this stiffness in my shoulder and neck goes away. 

I heard from Maggie yesterday through text. She said she's having a harder time adjusting to the time difference than when they went to Australia. They went to the Dachau concentration camp yesterday and she said it was really emotional. I can only imagine. Such a sad place that must be (along with all the other places with that history) but a place that everyone should probably experience. Scary to think that a history like that could ever happen again. 

And that's about all I've got. I'm not sure that I'll post tomorrow. We'll see. If not Merry Christmas to all! Be safe. Later!
