Mocha mint oat milk creamer

I have a noon yoga class.

Work, wrapping the last of the gifts we have and baking the cut out cookies are on my list today.

It's officially Winter Break. I had hot coffee and avocado toast.

We're putting together cookie tins for neighbors (PB blossoms, Polvorones, and iced sugar cookies) and will deliver them today.

Also, we get the post office informed delivery emails, and we got a preview of a letter from the school to "The Parents of A". Why would a school send a letter instead of an email?
Of course, now my brain is spiraling... is it a good thing? Did she test well or get an award? Or is it not so good thing? Disciplinary or covid related?

I finally managed to track down some good peppermint creamer last week so I drank a lot of that and Christmas coffee this morning. Goes well with the Christmas cookies we baked this weekend 😋.

Ferg is getting neutered today, it's M's last day of preschool before break starts and she has a Christmas program and party today so I have to be there, my hvac system is getting serviced and my new coffee table is getting delivered. All today. And Apollo's poop had a giant roundworm in it this morning so I got to drop that off at the vet this morning with Fergus to get analyzed and meds to treat that. And I had to order a new phone at Verizon this morning because my speaker is failing and also chunks of glass are falling off the screen.

Oh, and MH is on call so I'm doing all this solo 🥴. Send patience, calmness, and wine.

I could not fall asleep last night, so I’m feeling very blaaaah today.

I am scheduled to work until Thursday, but I’m sure I’ll be doing *the least* this week.

I got to pull DS1’s loose tooth out this morning. So satisfying!!

I decided to take the kids up to the discount store (about a 25 minute drive) this morning so we stopped at McD's before we left town and I got a peppermint mocha. Ironically, McD's is the best peppermint mocha I've had. Anyways, the drive up was fine, both kids snoozed, we shopped for about an hour, got some good deals, but on the way home... man. W decided that she just HATED the carseat. She screamed literally the entire way home. Except when Adele was on lol. I even stopped at a community center on the way to see if nursing her would help and the second she was out of the seat she stopped and the second I put her back in she started again.
ANYways, managed to get her in, went to the dollar store for some containers for treats (going to put together one for besties family and one for work peeps) and also some gloves so I could...

put my dogs penis back in. He managed to stick it out and get it inflamed so needed help putting it back in, but hell to the no was I doing that barehanded!

The PTA spirit wear sale has been a full time job these last 2 weeks. I probably “worked” 40 hours in the last 5 days, just on this. And shipping delays made it a little extra complicated. Still waiting on 6 hoodies to be delivered so we can get them home before break. 😓

Spending the rest of the week baking! Made nut rolls on Saturday and want to make a few different cookie types. I finished all the Santa wrapping 2 weeks ago but still have to wrap the parent and cousin gifts and write out the teacher cards+gift cards.



Oh! And I got a beautiful piano in perfect condition on Facebook marketplace for free!! It’ll be delivered on Thursday morning. Already ordered myself some piano books.

The girls are in school until Thursday and are in the Christmas pageant at church on Christmas Eve. While all the other girls wanted to be Mary or the angels, my girls confidently all made their first choice …barn animals. I’ll have a donkey, camel, and sheep 😂

I got a babysitter this morning so I could do my last minute shopping and errands. I tried to get in for a last minute mani but it was not to be.

All the shopping is done and all I have to focus on this week is finishing my crafts and baking. Santa is coming to our house on Thursday night because I work nights today-Wednesday and then days Friday-Wednesday. I’m already exhausted.

I'm DONE!!!! I had one lesson earlier today - a reschedule of a student who is normally on Friday, and now I am officially DONE for the year. I had a fantastic gig yesterday to round out the end of concert season. It was fun for what it was, but more importantly involved people I need to know and who need to know me. I've started putting myself out there more recently and my name has gone around and yesterday, some important people were able to put a face to the name and actually see and hear my playing for themselves. I got to sit next to and play with someone I went to school with here back in the day and that was just super fun.
