10 days. I was sick for 10 days. I think it is finally, mostly, almost completely, done. It started Christmas night, and I thought it was just a dry throat from it being really cold outside and really warm inside most places. Then there was a cough, and then last weekend I was so, SO sick I did not get off the couch for 3 days. I insisted on only taking 1.5 days off work, because I have to stretch out my sick time so it will last the rest of the year, but I really haven’t felt like doing anything at all until today. Well, kinda yesterday.

Christmas was really lovely. Christmas eve was the last day I was really super overachieving functional (and I have had to remind myself, or Steve has, that I have BEEN SICK and that I really need to let myself be sick so it will get better and go away. I get so restless and really have relaxation guilt in a big way and I am going to try even harder this year to let myself relax a little and not feel bad about not doing all the things all the time.) I was going to wax poetic about last year, and all the great things, and how much I accomplished, and I like to reflect and take things in and process them at the end of the year, but again, I am kinda restless these days, and I have all this pent up physical energy that needs to get out and so now I feel impatient in trying to do that (I chased my nephew around a playground a little yesterday and good lord was it wonderful and amazing and my body was so thankful.) So, I will just cut to the highlights of the end of last year: I have really great friends! It was my birthday on Jan 1st, and it’s always a little tiny bit annoying to share it with a major holiday and it was a tiny bit more annoying this year because I couldn’t afford a trip, or a concert or anything and it didn’t matter anyway because by that time both Steve and I were sick, but my friends always make me feel loved and I got nice cards,

And this incredible gift box from the amazing Sandra, which made my entire year (I wish I had the patience to tell you the story behind that photo of us together, but I don’t right now so all I will say is it just makes the best photo to have framed in my house because no matter what it will always make me laugh and put me in a good mood. They say pictures are worth a thousand words, and that could not be more true of that photo!)

And the biggest surprise of the year goes to Deb Rubin. I PASSED DANCE THERAPEUTICS LEVEL 1 YOU GUYS!!!

(the dumb mailman jammed the certificate into my mailbox and crushed the corner of it, I am so annoyed) Oh. My. God. there was no way I thought I passed this. The test was hard, and I did not feel good about it. Then, no one heard from her for months (I took the course in August, and tested in mid-September) because she was teaching and performing in several different cities. I am just so SO happy that I passed. It really lit a fire in me to get back to dancing ASAP. Thant, and my body hurts and needs to be used and loved properly again. Happy 2020!! Here’s to all the adventures it will bring now that I am well enough to take them on.
