analoguechildOK. I think I'm ready for Christmas. Possibly. Tomorrow I have to work 6:30 am to noon, get all the stuff I've got piled up together into my car and drive, about 45 minutes, back home to Grand Haven. We celebrate the majority of our Christmas on Christmas Eve night after church so I'm already dreading how long of a day I'm going to have tomorrow. Debating whether I should nap at my apartment before I drive home or at home sometime before church and present opening. I guess it will depend on how I'm feeling after work, if I'm wide awake or not. I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing when I get home though. Mom might put me to work making something or cleaning something, she usually does, though I don't know what since the big dinner is on Christmas day and the grandparents are already here so they've seen how messy the house is.
Presents are all bought and wrapped, finally. The last load to go home are on the table here. I baked two small loafs of Applesauce Sweet bread (so yummy!), thinking take one and leave one here to nibble on and for roommates to have some. Though the apartment has been pretty empty for the past week or so. One roommate went back to Wisconsin to celebrate with her family and the other has alternated from staying at her boyfriend's and her parent's (her sister has a new baby) and pops in every once and a while just to grab some sleep here. So I've been pretty much alone here hanging out with my cat. I don't mind it *points to self* I'm a total introvert here so I kinda enjoy it.
I got all my non-religious-Christmas/Holiday cards made out to the high school friends group, well all but Squeem and Baco. I don't have Squeem's address in Canada nor her parent's actual address in Lincoln which she will be at for Christmas. If I had your address Jei I would totally send you and Joe a card! They're pretty! They're Unicef cards, so I spent more on them but they're helping kids around the world! Who wants one? Nomad?
I also put together both a gym bag and a "go bag" which I think will help me not make excuses for not going to the gym and for not staying the night at my parent's house when I actually am able to stay because I don't have to be at work the next hypothetical morning. Go bag will stay in my car with a set of pj's, toiletries, and clothes so that wherever I happen to be, be it Grand Haven or stuck in a snow drift, I have stuff to get me by for a day. The new gym bag now has all my toiletries (soap, shampoo, conditioner, facial wash, toothbrush and paste) so that if I want to go work out at the gym on campus, which is gorgeous and my tuition pays for it anyway, I can clean up and not be all stinky when I go to class or work afterward.
I feel good. I did all this after working four hours today. I feel like a "normal" productive human being! (note to self: start dishwasher before you sleep and take out the trash tomorrow when you go to work) Now if I could just freaking call my bank, when it is not a holiday, and cancel the Nebraska checking account which I've been meaning to do for over a year now. :/
Also Also: Work's going to be a mad house tomorrow. I hate working retail.
