Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! It was great going back to our home town for a few days. It was so great to see family, just wish I would have had the time to see everyone. We did also have to leave our fur baby behind because she's getting old and doesn't do car rides really well, but she was well taken care of

I had an opportunity to take a bit of a detour, and I drove by the high school I went to. It has changed a bit, well I only got to see the outside. Then I went over to see our house I grew up in. That has also changed on the outside. It seems to private. Growing up we had a fence in the back yard, which it seems like it might be the same fence just in more rough shape, but the front had nothing cause when we saw the neighbors come out we would tend to get together. The new owners have built a fence in the from yard and including on each side of the drive way. It just looks so closed off. I still remember how the inside looks and I'm sure it's completely different with someone else living there but I remember putting up our Christmas tree by the front window, and our house was always very well decorated. I still remember every detail of that house, even my little hiding spot when I took over my brother's room when he moved out. It was nice seeing the house though and the neighborhood. It has changed here and there but it did bring back a lot of great memories. Makes me miss my mom that much more!

I got to also see my best friend from high school. It's been about 3 years since I last saw her. It wasn't a long visit but it was great to catch up. Hopefully next trip to Sudbury I'll get to see more friends and family that I didn't get to see.

Now that we are back home, I'm now fighting something off. I went to the clinic this morning cause I was thinking it may be strep throat. The doctor said it didn't look like it but she took a swab to be sure so just waiting for the call with the results. She said if it's not, it just means it's a virus which means lots of rest, liquids and TLC until it goes away. If it is strep throat then I go back to the clinic to pick up a prescription for antibiotics. I haven't done much cause I feel all achy and horrible. She did however give me a pill to take which has helped my throat and swelling. It still hurts to swallow but it's not as bad as it was, same with the swelling. Hopefully it goes away quickly or at least I feel better to at least get a few things accomplished.

I thought I would tackle a few things on my computer since it still means I'm resting. I want to work on my playlist on my phone so I have a lot of great music so I can get back to running once I feel well enough. My plan is emptying out our freezers as well so I can restock it with healthy meals so I have some on hand when I'm to busy or to tired. I hope to not forget to take some pictures so I can share it with all of you.
