Holidays are no fun around here. Dr. Hottie ALWAYS works holidays- it's a given for at least the next decade. For as many Easters as I can remember, we've gone to church with family- had brunch with family- and basically enjoyed the day. Saturday evening after work, I realized- it's Easter tomorrow...Dr. H works tomorrow...I have no family close by....this sucks. I feel guilty to admit I went into a mental funk and boycotted the holiday. I thought if I pretended it didn't happen, then I wouldn't be as upset. It kind of worked, but in the back of my head I kept hearing my mom saying, "stop feeling sorry for yourself- make the best of it." I had a great trail run- talked to God on a peak overlooking the valley- and set a goal for making the best of it come the next holiday. I just need to leave Dr. H to his work, and create my own holiday with family far away or wonderful friends nearby.
The lonely weekend has me particularly excited for family visits to SLC and vacation in June. This weekend we get to see Dr.H's brother and his fiancee- in May we see both sets of parents and my little sis & her boyfriend. June calls for a NC trip to see family and hike the AT.
