Weekend Reading #74
A Christmas recap, how I'm feeling without ADHD meds, and the greatest Christmas gift ever.
Hi! Can you believe the holidays are over? Christmas was magic and chaos. Our youngest is 2.5 and got really into Polar Express and Santa, so it was especially fun. We had Christmas Eve and morning at our house, and ended the holiday at grandma’s for dinner.
I usually feel the urge to get my house back right after Christmas, and I’m definitely feeling a little itchy, but don’t want it to disappear too quickly. I’ve started putting away some garland, wreaths, and decor, but will try to leave the tree up a little longer.
Everything’s been nonstop, so much that we haven’t watched the final two episodes of The End of an Era, so I’m hoping to do that tonight. Kate has a cough, so we’re laying low today. She’s watching Bluey, and we’re going to build her new Lego set.
I’m going to dinner with my friend Bianca tomorrow night. The last time I went out to dinner was actually with her, and we closed the restaurant. It really is the greatest gift to connect with someone in your 40s, and so important to make time to have those connections with friends.
How I’m Doing After Going Off My ADHD Meds
I am so glad I decided to do this, because I’m not sure how much I would have enjoyed Christmas had I not. I was feeling anxious and down, and honestly felt a night and day difference in just a few days.
Links & Sales
This video camera arrived on Christmas Eve, and we were able to play with it a little bit on Christmas Day. It’s really fun, and it’s on sale right now!

Here’s what I wore Christmas Eve. The top is roomy, so I’m wearing my usual size but could have sized down. My pants are sold out in most sizes and colors, but there are still some in stock and other styles on sale.
And here’s the dress I wore for Christmas Day dinner.
I took my big girl to get a haircut, and years later, it still feels like such a gift to see her beautiful head of hair. She’s wearing this puffer.
And now, the story of the greatest Christmas gift ever.
