We are on day 2 of snow day for my kid. I don’t mind them but my teenager who gets bored at the drop of a hat is kinda starting to drive me crazy. I forced a clean out of all his clothes related items yesterday. I now have 4 bags of clothing for donations and I think I won’t buy him any other clothes unless he asks for something specific. He can spend his own money now on those things.
I Have a bunch of things I could be doing, but I’m not. Kind of just using snow days as an excuse to laze around.
It does look beautiful around here with the snow covering everything. The roads are clear so no issues there. I could just look at the scenery here forever. So I opened my blinds and I’m taking it in.
I need to mix up some cut out cookie dough. I wanted to bake a lot but also kind of am lacking the motivation.
We’re down to 16 days until Christmas. Crazy. I still don’t feel the holly jolly feelings. I don’t think I ever will again really. Not unless I can learn to not turn myself into a basket case every holiday season. I know there will be moments here soon where I won’t have that many tasks left and will think to myself that I miss those days too so I’m trying to not get too into a funk, but I’m not being very successful at it.
I turn things like watching holiday movies into something that needs to be checked off a list. I’m not sure why I do that. It’s suppose to be fun, not something to complete or beat myself up when I don’t watch them all.
I still have lots to wrap but with everyone in close quarters here it has to wait.
I feel like I didn’t get enough things for anyone. I also didn’t share my wish list with my husband so I can expect to not get much. Which I guess is fine. He’s never been super great at gifting for others. I can see his point of view where it tends to get silly. I gave your kid 25.00 you gave my kid 25.00..or I gave them 25.00 and they gave 15.00 and someone gets mad. It tends to go this way. Plus we don’t live near family so then adding shipping into things etc. It gets out of hand.
Anywho. I start complaining and then I never end. I think my diary should be a place to vent but also when it just feels depressing most of the time I don’t know if that’s entirely helpful or not.
They called to move up my son’s PT appointment to 1:30 instead of 5 which is good because I had forgotten about it today already lol.


His appointment was a quick assessment for insurance and to see how many more PT session he will need. At least 2 more.
I feel like my brain is kinda in a want to spiral out moment again. I have a few decorations that I always usually put up for Christmas that I haven’t yet and I don’t know if I can muster myself to get it done. It’s not like it’d be the most difficult thing in the world I just can’t seem to get there.
Along with wanting to bake and do all those previous things mentioned above it just isn’t there. I’ve spent most of my day here in front of the computer getting F* all done.
Someone is suppose to come get this bag of Christmas decorations I didn’t want anymore that’s been sitting for almost two weeks in my living room. I hope they show up.
I should probably check in with my mother if she’s planning on coming to visit. The house is a disaster and I’d rather want to spare myself from her judgment about how it looks. She doesn’t need much when it comes to criticizing anyone.
I finally got my “gummies” in the mail. I will wait until I’m not required to drive anywhere and do things before I take one. possibly this evening. I dunno. I kinda want to watch Home Alone 2 with my son. I think he’ll for sure be going back to school again finally.
Anyways I think I’m going to get going. Try to do something productive today.
