I used to LOVE them, now not so much. I'm not sure when this transition occurred, but I have a theory. I blame EMS.........clearly. Here's the thought process.....you have "shifts" when you work EMS. Almost always, they are 24 hour shifts. My first three years in EMS, I worked every "major" holiday. Let me explain how this fabulous turn of events occurred. The first year was just sheer luck. The next year was a leap year, so my shift was bent over again. THEN, the glorious third year, I had a shift change and guess what?? WE had all the holidays again! SO, I started to detach myself from the whole holiday process. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed our times together and they are like family to me, albeit a dysfunctional one.... ;) BUT, it was a different transition for me. Also contributing was the fact that my "actual" family lives approximately 1600 miles away (where there are actual seasons....pout), but I digress.
How's that for a run-on????? :)
So to make up for the holiday blahs, this year (I was off) we celebrated for TWO days. That's right two solid days of overindulgence at my friend's house. I felt fortunate that I was able to wiggle into my flightsuit this morning. Problem is, I'm still eating like it's Thanksgiving.....very unfortunate indeed.
