The Annual After-Christmas Purge

It's hard to believe that it's almost the end of 2009 already. I can still vividly remember what I was doing at this time last year, so it feels like it hasn't been a year at all. I'll have to look thoroughly at what was different from last year to this in another blog post. That could be interesting.

Anywho, Christmas, as always was filled with family, friends & food. I spent my first Saturday in forever with my BFF. I got to see people I haven't seen in several months. Christmas Eve I spent being grateful for the wonderful co-workers I have, went home in the afternoon, got to try a chocolate-avocado smoothy (a la my sister), watched The Empire Strikes Back and chatted on the phone. Christmas day was filled with spending lots of time with the family. I took advantage of the holidays and ate just about anything that I came across in the house, and managed to eat enough to make moving painful. It was great!

Boxing day, as it is every year, was a day to clean up everything and sort out the newly acquired presents vs. all of my old junk. I managed to throw out ALOT of stuff this year, and put alot of stuff away. I took down a bunch of stuff that had been occupying my space from the early 2000's & earlier. I admit I feel dreadfully dull now, but also alot lighter & renewed. I cleansed my jade bangle too, so I feel a better energy.

Well that's it for now. I have to put some effort into going to bed in good time now, because I want to wake up early to do some exercises. Hopefully that will work out.
