Can’t believe Christmas will be here in a week.
I always feel like the month of December winds up being a wash because we all kind of just walk around in a haze waiting for Christmas. Or at least that’s what it feels like to me.
I never want to start anything because it’s December and I’ll just “wait” until the new year.
Tomorrow is the teens last day of school before winter break.
I think my mother is planning on coming to visit the day after Christmas. Which means I really need to light a fire under my ass and get the rest of the house taken care of.
I’ve slacked on the whole copying and pasting entries from OpenDiary over. I know when my Mom is here I won’t be getting any of that done. So I either need to focus on it the next few days really hard or resign myself to the fact that I might just not be able to save them all.
It is what it is.
I’ve still been putting off getting in touch with new doctors to set up things even though I need to be seen at the ENT like weeks ago. I don’t know why this particular task has been tripping me up lately.
I also need to make a return to Walmart and we usually go on Fridays to get groceries so I either need to do it then or just probably wait until Christmas is over. I dunno I wanted to get it done today but then didn’t want to go out and deal with it. It’s that December struggle again with getting things done.
I haven’t read in well over a month or almost two.
What else? Oh yea I got my haircut today. The place I go the stylist is super meticulous about making sure every, single, hair is cut. TO the point that it takes me almost 2 hours to get my hair cut at the salon. I kind of don’t mind it because she doesn’t talk a ton and its kind of just relaxing there. Sure it cost me 65.00 by the time I tip but I’m lucky to go twice a year to get a haircut. I was trying to make it a more frequent thing because I’ve neglected myself a lot over the last 15 years. I wouldn’t go monthly but I might try to get my hair cut maybe 3-4 times a year instead. I dunno. Sometimes just getting little things like that done make me feel better.
I really wanted to bake a lot more this season but also haven’t gotten around to it.

I have managed to get everything wrapped for Christmas and my son’s birthday. I might have a few things I wanted to buy still but not sure.
I do know I need to buy a birthday present for my sister who’s birthday is in January and if I get it done now I can have my Mom take it back home with her and save on shipping lol.
I spent a good at least hour yesterday going through about 60% of my makeup/cosmetics. I threw away some stuff and got a big bag to donate. Someone picked it up this afternoon.
I don’t wear makeup often. I get caught up big time in watching influencers use it and then thinking I can do that too, or it’ll look like that on me (spoiler, it never does) Anyways A lot of it is pretty old and I should just toss most of it but I also went a bit insane this year for some reason on it. I think maybe because I hate my body and so clothes shopping doesn’t happen like it use to so I moved onto cosmetics because you can wear that at any size.
If I had to venture a guess.
I still need to go through the rest of it but that probably won’t be a thing I’ll do until the new year.My tasks are cleaning up the areas my Mom will see before she comes to visit.
I also will be getting a new tv for Christmas so I have to figure out where to donate the old tv. I also have an old desktop that sits downstairs and a monitor and my old iPad that I think just needs wiped and recycled since it’s so old now it has no resale value anywhere. I think the new year will bring buying a new phone.
Anywho, this entry turned out to be one long ramble so I guess I should get going.
