Our traditional day of decorating for Christmas typically started today. Gobble gobble – let’s get on with it! Today would normally be our tree hunting day where we go to the Christmas Tree Farm and hunt for our perfect tree. Though last year we Costco tree’d it. The Douglas Firs are just not here. Pre-cut but not like how we would do it up north. We would stop by Apple Hill and get your giant blueberry pancakes both babies in tow. Look at L struggle to balance as he shouted out “ree” “ree” while S was passed out in the Bjorn.
Today has been a low energy day. I didn’t sleep well last night and didn’t feel strength today. My body and skin is all out of sorts. My hair continues to fall out; I washed it in the sink last night before bed and watched the baby hairs fall out. My skin is dry and I am covered in radiation burns – it doesn’t hurt just discoloration – which in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter. J continues to carry me up stairs at night. My bones are sore today and will likely need my sleeping pills tonight to rest. Tomorrow the children may be heading to the farmers market in the morning as my FIL will be making his amazing spaghetti sauce. It’s been years since I’ve had it. I’ve enjoyed having conversations with him when the kids are off to school and it’s the two of us before he goes on his bike ride.
I’m empty today.
