We left work at 1:30, after our good bye lunch for my coworker. No tears we're shed, lots of laughs over the card I gave her with funny memes in it, plus pics of us in our Teletubbies costumes.
Plus our neighbors that we really enjoyed moved today. The new neighbors are already moving in. I'm dreading meeting them...we just really liked the old people. Why is everyone leaving?

I'm annoyed. My SIL was the one that talked me into taking M to see Coco with them tonight. They were supposed to meet at my house at 6 so we could go together. She just called to tell me they invited my in laws to the movie (which is totally fine because y'all know I love them) but they're going to go to their house and just go with them to the movie theater. So now I get to battle rush hour traffic and find parking by myself.
FWP, I know.

I went this afternoon too. Such a bad idea, but probably better than tomorrow. Standing in line to check out (with no grocery list), I realized I never asked my mom what I need to take to Christmas Eve. I hope she just tells me wine. I wouldn't ask and just bring the wine. DNW to go to the store tomorrow. I sent her a text, she wants a salad or veggie, which means I have to go to the store...unless by some act of God, I have everything for green bean casserole. Which might be possible.

Go to Aldi or somewhere with self-check out

Because I'm an expert #procrastinator, I'm going to have to head to the store tomorrow and get stocking stuffers and things for an app to bring to my dad's Sunday.
I still need to figure it what I'm making for Christmas dinner. Maybe carrot osso buco and who knows what else.

I decided not to try to go anywhere this afternoon because S has been super crabby all day. I think I’m going to go tonight after DH gets home around 8ish. Hopefully it won’t be as busy then.

I'm about to get hangry up in this biotch. We just got loaded fries at the movie that we shared because mh said we would get something after. Well, we didn't. He came in 15 minutes ago and said he would order Chinese in 40 minutes. 40?!?! Ugh! 😲😖😲😖

Thanks to online shopping, I finished gifts awhile back. But i'm filing this info away in case something unexpected pops up. Thank you.

Have I mentioned traffic around my house is extra nightmarish this week because I'm about a block away from the mall and downtown in either direction?
It's heinous.

I still need to go to the grocery store before Christmas because i only grabbed the snack for O’s class today since i was running late. I need to make a list though otherwise I’ll end up buying a ton of stuff that doesn’t add up to any one meal.

I thought Ferdinand was good! J thought the people in it we're mean and would def be a bit much for the vegan kids since they reference the slaughter house😬...(I think j didn't pick up on that). It was fun though! Then we went out for pizza and now early bedtimes.

I’m annoyed!! My Jeep did not get done today like it was supposed to. I came with MH to Arkansas to his side business (2.5 hours from home) and he was going to run me to get my Jeep today at the dealership (30 min from here...2 hours from home). Then I was going to go home this evening and prepare my house for the 7 guests coming tomorrow for Christmas. 6 of them are overnight guests. So now I have to wait till tomorrow to go home because MH has a client in the morning. We will probably get home with only an hour or 2 to spare before guests arrive. We need to sweep and mop the floors and wash the bed clothes from the spare room and Sierra’s room (because we are putting her in our room to open a bed for company) and make up the air mattress in the play room. Also prepare dinner for everyone. Oh, and I haven’t even got any deserts. So it will probably be store bought. Luckily my in laws are not high maintenance and won’t care. They will just enjoy spending time together. But the OCD in me can’t quit panicking about this predicament.

Could your DH drive you home tonight and then go back to Arkansas after? Or you take his car and he can get a ride from someone to your Jeep tomorrow? I would be panicking about that too.

We tried to go to this street that has a huge light show every night, it's like 5 miles long. Turns out they don't start til 7pm. So instead we went to a random house that has insane lights that they do to the beat of a radio station you can put on. It was cool, but I'd be so pissed to be their neighbors. C was unimpressed.

Yeah you go fight or go there, and a few bulls do go there (and later they go in and rescue them). And then he realizes that no bulls come back from the fights, including his dad. I did think Ferdinand was a good example of displaying non-violence though and being kind.

trtlcrzy the Dealership is closed now till after Christmas so they said it won’t be ready till Tuesday sometime. And he can’t take me home tonight because the client for tomorrow just got in. So I am just going to have a drink and try to relax! The other complication now is that we were going to drive separately to my parents Christmas Day because he’s only staying 1 night because of work while I’m staying several nights. But my my parents said they’d bring me to pick up my vehicle a few days after Christmas. I just hate to ask them to do that because it’s a long drive, but my mom insisted because they want me to stay rather than leave. And selfishly I want to stay too since I have family from Tucson visiting that I haven’t seen in a while.

I ate pizza for the first time post op. I shouldn't have. I'm having horrible GI upset. Why do I do these things to myself. I know there's no nutritional gain from it but I still ate it.

At the grocery and omg. I may die here.. the lines are all the way through the first set of aisles. Every register is open. I went this afternoon too. Such a bad idea, but probably better than tomorrow. Standing in line to check out (with no grocery list), I realized I never asked my mom what I need to take to Christmas Eve. I hope she just tells me wine. It took me 45 minutes to shop and 40 to check out..
