January 5th

So we're a whole five days into the new year. I don't know if it's been the extra time off work or a for once optimistic attitude, but I'm feeling so much better about everything. On January 1st, we pretty much sat around all day long until about 8 pm when we went over to mom and dad's for dinner. It was pretty laid back. Everyone ate on the couch and watched football (there's no room on the table due to the fact that dad's beehive building experiment is completely covering it). We rented a movie on the way home and watched it in bed. I know how boring that must sound, but personally it was just what I needed. January 2nd was a little more active. We super-cleaned the house from top to bottom, then got all dressed up and went out to celebrate Josh's birthday together (almost a week late, but it's the thought that counts, right?) We went to the Greene and had a few cocktails and an appetizer at the wine loft then rushed through the cheesecake factory experience before heading to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie. Back to work for me on January 3rd! But I made good money and I got done early. I realized that I didn't really hate the place as much as I thought, and if I have to stay there for a bit longer it won't be the end of the world. I realized how much I will miss my family if/when we do finally move. Yesterday, January 4th, I got everything done that I wanted to get done all weekend but didn't. I cleaned and detailed my car, went to the gym for the first time in forever (well kinda, I ran half a mile and pissed around on the weight machines for a little bit), then we went to the grocery store (finally!), and came home and had my sister over for dinner and watched Rent. Back to work today :(, but hopefully karaoke afterward!
