We were supposed to go over to my in-laws for dinner tonight and I just wasn’t feeling up to it. I didn’t sleep well last night and I feel like I’m coming down with a cold (not covid, we all had that over Xmas). But normally I would put on a “happy” face and just go and hate it the whole time we are there. I knew I didn’t have the energy to be patient with my son (or my MIL) and so I told my husband I didn’t want to go. Surprisingly he was fine with it.

Instead I’m staying home, taking a bath, and ordering Ramen for dinner - I couldn’t be happier.
