Day 20: Recovery Mode and Presents Under the Tree

Today was slow getting started but I was feeling so grateful for having the morning/afternoon off to get myself together. I woke up really groggy and achy, probably recovering from my allergies and sleep that was full of tossing and turning. I am thankful for hot showers and my lulu sweatpants that I'm pretty sure are men's but were $24 second-hand so I don't really care. I took my time getting going and in the end I put myself back to bed for another nap. But after taking all my immune-boosting pills and a glass of orange juice I started to feel a little bit better. So I got myself together - really going for cozy-chic vibes lately. 

And because my group classes got canceled for the weekend I don't need to do any prep for it so I was actually able to sit down for an hour or so and play the sims! I can't wait for a bit of a break to find some time to game-out a bit. I've been trying to get online with some of my long-distance friends to game-out but can never find the time! 

I got some more teacher presents today complete with a lovely, if not entirely coherent message, from one of my favourite students (I know I'm not supposed to have favourites...but this one has been one of my most challenging students and also my most fulfilling student to teach. He's so sweet and I have a real soft spot for him). I came home to and was glad that I thought ahead last time I went grocery shopping and picked up some soup because I was so ready for a big bowl of soup. 

I caught up on some of my gaming channels on Youtube and then sat down to wrap up the rest of my presents for Christmas! I haven't quite finished yet but it's kind of cool to see some gifts start to collect under the tree. Now I'm off to bed for another early and long day tomorrow!

4 more sleeps!
