Oh the pain!

What a horrible week! I've missed a week of work, and before Christmas...this is killing me. I had strep-throat, an ear infection and worst of all an abscessed tooth. I've been in so much pain since Tuesday. Today I have finally gotten some relief. The antibiotics must be starting to work, since my pain meds are actually giving me relief now.
I realized today that we don't have any real Christmas traditions as a family. That saddens me so much. We always had traditions growing up and now I have none, what the heck am I thinking? Traditions are so important for a family. So now I am thinking of new traditions to start.
Christmas is only 40 days away and well that's killing me. I haven't even started shopping. Every year I say I'm going to start early, and every year I never do. So here I sit tonight, looking for deals online. I do not do black Friday, I don't have the patience for all that. But I may try to see what deals I can find online. Thinking of it, man I do a lot of shopping online, but I can usually find good deals and free shipping.
