I've just been really tired and I think I've also developed an over-use type injury despite the fact I do little over-use.

I still have a fair bit of shopping to do. I'm not looking forward to going out into the crowds for it, luckily most is done.

I have done zero cooking for Christmas, so that's something that's still on my to-do list.

I like the holidays in general but I find them exhausting and even with lowering expectations I find all the things I want to do for them never gets done.

I was feeling really good until about two hours ago. I had just finished the last of my Christmas shopping, wrapped up the last gift and made dinner when... Then the big flare-up happened and all my Christmas spirit instantly died. :/

Hoping I'll get it back soon though because in general I really love the holidays!

@versatileYard8117 Sounds like you're well prepared for Christmas at least! Hopefully the flare doesn't last long.

@AffyAvo Thank you!!
The flare seems to be over now, so I'm cautiously optimistic and my Christmas-spirit has bounced back!
Hope you're doing well in the middle of the holiday stress, and that you're feeling better! :) (also, hope your holiday-cooking is going well if you've started!)

@versatileYard8117 I'm glad that was a fairly short- flare, hopefully you can get away without any more for the rest of the year!

I haven't started cooking yet, I think it's going to have to wait to the weekend. Hubby starts holidays sooner than I thought, so that helps lots!
