I’m a pretty plain person, so this should be interesting.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 2 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Saint of the Year.<\/strong> I did Jen Fulwiler’s Saint’s Name Generator<\/a> and got St. Clotilde, who is the patron saint of adopted children, brides, disappointing children, exiles, parenthood, parents of large families, queens and widows.<\/p>\n I first encountered Clotilde in my Medieval Europe class in college, and the history nerd<\/a> in me is happy that I got her.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 3 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Christmas.<\/strong> My brother and his family were up here for Christmas, so that was fun. His son Braden is cute, and they introduced us to the “Into the Spider-Verse” movie.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 4 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Mental health.<\/strong> I had a breakdown by myself for 5 hours on Christmas morning. I had somehow missed my meds on Christmas Eve, so that didn’t help, but I somehow hit a grief well of grief for Grandpa. I was trying to finish Mom’s socks, and it was taken a bit longer due to not being able to read the pattern because I was crying so hard. I was trying to get back to sleep when Daniel kicked off around 5, and I had to keep him silent while people slept. I had taken some Ativan, but that was doing nothing for me. It was a brutal night.<\/p>\n Things hit me again a few days later, and it thankfully gave me something to talk about with my therapist. We’re working through it, but there’s a lot to unpack. <\/p>\n <\/a>— 5 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n New Year’s Eve.<\/strong> I celebrated New Year’s Eve in my jammies putting my new bullet journal together. I went against my own rules at midnight and had an inch of Prosecco, which was underwhelming. (One of the reasons I don’t drink is that I really don’t like wine or beer.) I then went on the Best Buy website and browsed for a new laptop.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 6 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Laptop is here!!!!<\/strong> I ordered the laptop yesterday and opted to pay the extra $6 to get it today. Well, I was downstairs last night putting Daniel’s pills in the china cabinet, and the delivery truck was in the driveway. Mom got a picture of me petting it.<\/p>\n I’ll be setting it up today.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 7 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n New Year’s resolutions.<\/strong> I’ve decided to just redo my 2020 intentions<\/a>. I’ll let you know how it all goes.<\/p>\n For more Quick Takes, go visit our host Elena of My Domestic Church<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" — 1 — Word of the Year.
