Scratchy New Year

Good riddance. Yesterday pretty much my entire family was hit with a rough bout of what appears to have been food poisoning. Today was better but most of us were still weak and wobbly, though sadly my sister and her family had to travel home yesterday and my brother had to get on a plane today. I mostly laid in bed pathetically trying to reserve strength for the nearly decade-long tradition of high school friends' party, the reason I book my Christmas flights to extend through the new year.

Ewwww hives- even my ear is swollen!
Well, after a day of resting up, planning how to skype the hubs in from Kuwait (he's en route home for real!!) and watching the snow pour down all day and hoping it wouldn't prevent driving.... I woke up from my "nap" at 2 am scratching newly erupted hives to a phoneful of "where are you?" messages.

2012, I am done with you. Although I learned some valuable lessons about independence and the like, I feel like tonight was an appropriate cap to a rough year.

I'll definitely keep these lessons and remember what this year has done to shape me and all that, but I'm ready to be done with it. Hubs returns in less than a week, and I'm optimistic for what may be ahead.
