A return to normal

Christmas is almost over in the Trailing Spouse household. It has been exhausting. Moving to CT from Boston has meant being physically closer to most of our family, which in turn means the holidays can get spread over the course of a week. Fun. 

We're done traveling to Massachusetts, having completed our third trip yesterday. We're almost done giving out gifts, with one more sitting under the tree. We've even gotten through returning and exchanging clothes that were too big to fit in (I honestly think some relatives believe I'm 6'4", 250 and not 5'11" and a buck fifty-five). 

For a few moments, we can stop to take a breath.

I hope to get back into my routine over the next couple days. Until then, hope you've all come out of the holidays in one piece, that no one had their feelings crushed or lashed out at the embarrassing or just plain ignorant relative, and that you got everything you wanted and wished for.
