Christmas Hangover

Okay, it’s been over thirty years since I’ve had a drink or abused any drugs. That doesn’t, however, seem to help me with occasional hangovers!

Sure, they aren’t the head-pounding, porcelain hugging hangovers of old, but today, the day after Christmas I’m… well, not up to par.

We had our major celebration on Christmas Eve. One daughter-n-law created a delicious and huge meal. I ate too much. All three of my adult kids were there, all three of the grandkids were there, and another couple… it was a good crowd… and I stayed up to late. Plus there was way more chaos than I’m used to. Plus I had a busy day. Met with my sponsor, attended a meeting, finished wrapping gifts and made one almost panic trip to a store to two more things.

Christmas Day I went again to my oldest son’s house and there we opened gifts… tons of gifts. My daughter-in-law cooked a big breakfast. I ate too much, and some of that was chocolate.

When I got home… I ate some more… and more chocolate too… plus the cookies a neighbor gave me… whew. I think it’s nap time!

With love, blessings and gratitude,
