I didn’t take any pictures today. And I had another lazy day. I only walked a total of 1.82 miles.

Merry Christmas!
I’m alone on Christmas as is usually the case. My husband goes to New Orleans to spend it with his family. My family no longer does any Christmas activities together so I don’t go anywhere.
I decided to lay on the couch and watch Christmas movies all day. And I had some hot chocolate after the Christmas Monkey was done with it.
I only walked .76 miles today. No workout. No exercise app.
It’s Christmas Eve!
Happy Christmas Eve! Today I went to the grocery store to get a few things. I figured they’d be closed tomorrow. I also did several things around the house that needed to get done. I put things off until I have some time by myself to do them. That’s what I did.
Today the Christmas Monkey got into the Hersey’s Kisses. He wanted to eat them all!
In the evening I continued to watch Christmas movies. I also got into a marathon of Forensic Files on the HLN channel. I woke up on the couch at 2:30 AM! Then I went to bed.
I was very lazy today. I only walked a total of 1.63 miles. No exercise app today.
He Went To New Orleans
Today my husband left to go to New Orleans. He is sending the week with his family to celebrate Christmas. He says I can go each year but I decide not to. I spent the time by myself doing things I like to do while he’s gone. It is good to have some time away from time to time.
I spent the day cleaning up and watching Christmas movies. This evening I watched Holiday Inn. It’s one of my favorites. It seems that most of my favorite Christmas movies were made in the 1940s. They have just the right feel to enjoy the holiday.
Using the exercise app I did a workout of 1.08 miles. I didn’t walk on the treadmill though. I was doing things around the house and moving fast enough to get my heart rate up. I didn’t close the exercise ring but I did close the others. I think this week is going to be slow in the exercise area but I’ll get back to it next week in the new year.
Time for Gifts
My husband is leaving tomorrow to visit his family in New Orleans for almost a week for Christmas. He does this every year. We decided we’d open our gifts this morning. I got him practical gifts and he gave me some very sentimental, thoughtful gifts. He’s such a good husband.
One of the gifts my husband gave me was a book called “A Mindful Day”. The book contains 365 ways to live life with peace, clarity and an open heart. See, I’ve been having some depression and anxiety lately. I have issues with my father’s death, with our relationship and supposedly with retirement (according to a doctor). I’ve been having more sad days then happy days. I’ve been to see a therapist and have started group therapy. In group therapy we learn ways to deal with our anxiety. One of the ways is to be mindful each day. SO when my husband gave me the book, I started crying. It means he understands what I’m going through and wants to help me get past this bought of depression. I was so overcome with emotion when I saw the book. I’m reading one page everyday. Hopefully in time I’ll feel better and not so sad all the time. I also have a psychiatrist appointment next Friday to possibly get some meds. We’ll see.
Today the Christmas Monkey got into the Christmas cookies. There were only two left by the time I got to him.
I used the exercise app to walk outside today when we went out to dinner. I walked 1.26 miles but I didn’t close all the rings on the Apple Watch.
