Finally back home after an extended stay at my parents' home, surrounded by family. I overate in a big way, but frankly, I'm so relieved and so happy that I don't much care. My stepdad, who had a stroke late last year, continues to improve, and can even walk a bit now. Mom is thrilled and relieved, I'm thrilled and relieved, my siblings are thrilled and relieved, and we're all so content. We had a big Mexican Christmas with the works: a tamalada with extended family, champurrado, pan dulce, and all the stuff I'm not supposed to eat (ask me if I care). My siblings and I have pooled our cash and paid up front for three months of a home health care aide, to begin in late January as one of my younger sisters is going to stay with our parents for a while longer. The aide took care of another family in the neighborhood and is known to us all, and comes highly recommended, so we've few worries on that end. Christmas was a GOOD one. I hope everyone on FS had as good a season!

I've gained weight, I'm sure, but have no idea how much. When I got home this morning (long overnight flight, whew), I tried weighing myself, only to find that the battery in my bathroom scale is dead. I'm not much in the mood to run out and find a 24-hour convenience store just for a battery, and my work week is going to be packed, so I probably won't be able to weigh myself until this Saturday. Not that I'm looking forward to it in any case. Oh, well ... I really don't care. My family is happy, so I'm happy. I hope you all are, too. Tomorrow, the battle recommences.

AAARGH. I think I've gained weight, but I have no way to tell just now. My grading for the semester was finished early, and I decided to take some personal time for myself before heading to my parents' home for two weeks of Christmas with the family. After a VERY stressful semester with personal and family setbacks galore, I'm frazzled and in desperate need of "me" time. So I'm now rusticating in a comfortable hotel in a large city that I just love (I've been here for professional conferences before; it has many wonderful museums and excellent shopping). My room doesn't have a bathroom scale, though. I'm eating in restaurants with sommeliers, honest-to-gosh tablecloths, and no supply of crayons for the kiddies. If I can hold my weight to 30 pounds below my starting weight in April, I'll consider this year a good start. Spring semester is always a little easier for me (I teach two courses and a grad seminar, rather than the three and two I do in the fall), and my department has alloted me a grad student to be my teaching assistant, so I'll be good. It should be much easier to stick to my weight loss regime in 2018. In the meantime, I won't be around much here until after Christmas, so I wish each and every one of you a VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND WONDERFUL 2018! ¡FELIZ NAVIDAD Y PROSPERO AÑO NUEVO!
