Hey, I hear ya on that sick for xmas post!! I've spent more bdays and xmases in the hospital than out. Between fainting spells, seizures, and yes, one coma that lasted for 3 days, xmas has always been a bust for me. Stress seizures and dehydration due to D has knocked my plans off in the past, so as a result, I've steered clear of family drama, overextending my credit card (I now have no credit), and anything that might involving me eating socially where I can't control my quality of food intake.
Sounds boring? Noooo! Imagine a relax morning spent cuddling in bed with the most beautiful guy who happens to have a gorgeous accent and who professes to be in love with you now and will love you until the end of time. It's my 9th xmas with this guy and I'm still dizzingly in love. No presents necessary anymore when we'll buy each other something out of the blue and hide it for the other to find buried in the glove compartment of sock drawer, in, like August.
This is the one time of year when I really believe that I'm ahead of the pack. But don't get me wrong, bdays and tax season are still a bear. But at least in the winter I can bundle up with my boything and feel like the stressors of the world can't get to me.
OK for the rest of you, 20 more shoplifting days until xmas!!
