Pre Turkey in scarlet_dragon

Howdy all. Every evening I usually look at my planner and write down to do lists for the next day. I didn’t do that last night so of course forgot about my son’s 7:45am PT appointment this morning. No one called and we never got a reminder about it either. So I’m sure we’ll have to pay the missed appointment fee for that. SIGH. It got me kind of heated this morning then because I can’t be the only one who is responsible for everyone else. They need to start taking care of themselves. I know it wasn’t rational but all it seems to take it one thing to set me off on a path of being angry.
I was then stressed thinking about all the to do things I needed to do. I don’t know why I’m stressed it just is for Thanksgiving like always. But I somehow get myself worked up all the time.
I had a Mercari order that actually went through this morning so I had to go drop that off. Thankfully it was one of those books I double purchased and pretty close to what I spent on it. Sure I lost out a few dollars on it but it’s better then being out 30.00. I shouldn’t have been in that place in the first instance but whatever.
We got our tree decorated. I get less and less excited about the task as the years go by. I didn’t get out a lot of the ornaments because I just wasn’t feeling it.
I’ve spent the last 3 days trying other copy and past my old OD entries over. I’m about 2 years into 16 years worth. I’m not sure I’ll be able to get it all done. Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth it. Being reminded of certain things is painful…but sometimes it’ll remind me about something I had completely forgotten about.
For now I soldier on.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. It’s hard to believe another November is here. This year kind of went by really quickly. I can’t believe my kid has about 6 months of school left until he’s a Senior. Crazy.
I need to really stop messing around and get the rest of my holiday shopping done online. Or I’ll run out of time for it to get here. I placed an Ulta order a few days ago and it came today I picked it up and it weight a lot more then I thought it should. My name and address were on the outside of the box but instead was a completely different order with someone else’s name. Talk about upsetting. What I ordered was a gift I needed to wrap and ship to my Mom’s house. So I talked with customer service at Ulta they’re sending me a replacement order and then I have to go and take back this box of stuff to the post office. Thanks for giving me more work to do Ulta. Appreciate it.
I have husband and son and son’s birthday to purchase for still. I need to also give my husband all the lists of things I might want.
I think tomorrow I have to make mashed potatoes and stuffing and possibly dessert but after that I think I’ll be just watching movies and shows and reading. I need a day to mentally not give a crap about everything so hard lol.
I will say the hardest part of the holidays is all the things I want for myself being on sale lol. I know I need to buy crap for others but man it’s difficult this time of the year.
Anyways enough rambling for now I”m going to get going. If I dont get on here tomorrow have a good Thanksgiving everyone!
