A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

My sister is being completely contrarian today and trying to blame it on everyone else. She now claims I offered to wrap her gifts last night, when she out and out asked me to do it. Believe me, I can now count the number of gifts I've wrapped in the dozens and wouldn't offer to do an extra one.

She also wants to go to mass tonight, in a not crowded church, when they are traditionally standing room only. And she's mad because Mother and I want to go in the morning, when there's lots of room, and hey, my SiL is making Xmas dinner, so we have nothing to do ALL DAY, because she wants to stay in her pajamas tomorrow. Grrr.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Peaceful vibes to all with family drama. I am timing my arrival to coincide with afternoon snacks and drinks. My mother is so much more chill after an old-fashioned or two.

Home from work and therapy. Now I just need to chill until I go to my sister's tomorrow.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

In an almost Christmas miracle, UPS showed up about an hour ago!

I CAN HAZ CHRISTMAS. Wheeeeee.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks Kat! But you really don't have to bake for me if it's a problem.

I have gotten my kitchen under control, but my bedroom is a nightmare. Still, the minimum of laundry I needed to accomplish is completed, and packing is...I don't know. I guess I can borrow clothes from my sister.

Ooh, toiletries and meds. I need to get that together. And art stuff.

I even paid bills! And found out I need to smog check my fucking car. Well, that will have to wait. They do let you pay your money anyway, so at least I won't forget and get massive late fees like last year.

And that other DMV envelope? Apparently my license expires in a week and a half. Oops. But sent off.

Is Jilli around? I found a listing for Vintage Lace-up boots on Etsy and thought of her. [link]

Oooh, cute! Not my size, but very cute.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I have to go out and buy my own present on Christmas Eve. *sigh*

The package from my brother came, so the kids will have more toys. Phew. Also mr. flea seems to have bought me something! Anyway, a package came from Amazon that I am not to open. And it's too big to be a book.
