Today was better than yesterday, but I still needed a day off to sleep the rest of it off. The biggest thing is to be healthy for this weekend’s cheer competition. The schedule is taking more out of me than I expected. I’m enjoying it, but will be grateful when it’s over. At least for this season.

I dragged Christina to pick up my new sunglasses after school. Billy texted me along the way asking if I was out getting my new sunglasses and Christina was mystified as to how he knew where I was going. So I asked him and he said it’s because he has a pencil and takes notes. Made her laugh. I realized yesterday that I love when people laugh. It fills me up a little. So thanks for that, Billy.

Not only is this probably my favorite Christmas present this year, but these are also probably the comfiest pajamas I own.

Christina earned a manicure for letting her nails grow without picking them and I figured, I didn’t pick my nails either, so…

I finally replaced my tire. Had to drive 20 minutes to the dealership just to talk to someone, but they squeezed me in without an appointment and got it done at no charge. I still think they need to either disable their phone lines altogether or learn how to return calls, but once I did finally talk to someone, the service was excellent. We also instituted family game night and played Uno Attack and Exploding Kittens. Christina has a vendetta for Billy in Exploding Kittens and targets him exclusively. And then he targets her exclusively and I quietly win the game. It’s a good system.

I intended to gift this scarf last Christmas, but it took me a year to tie in the loose ends and block it. Hopefully it is going to a good home.

It was a crazy evening. Christina’s dance class was extended to 8:30, which is when Billy leaves for work and I’m bringing Robin’s teammate home from practice. So I was all set to tell the dance studio I’d be there late, when Robin’s teammate let us know she was sick and not going to practice. That was good for picking up Christina at 8:30, but it left Robin without a ride to practice at 5:45, which is exactly the same time Christina’s class starts. So I had to take Robin to dance and drop Christina off 25 minutes early in order to get Robin to practice on time. But then half an hour before cheer practice, we got a note saying it had been cancelled. So everyone got where they needed to be when they needed to be there and I only got three new gray hairs. I just read all that and it makes no sense but welcome to my life.

I stayed up until 1:30am to finish the last hat. I know no one will appreciate what I put into them. I literally spent the equivalent of a second full time job on them over the last week. And it’ll probably bring in like $30 for the PTA. Whatever. At least my volunteer hours are in for the year. And if you think I’m done making hats… no. Christina has been bugging me for one since the first one I made. So one more in the works. Also will not be appreciated, but that’s the story of my life. I do this stuff anyway.

I took some time to call people I haven’t spoken to in a while. I spent an awful lot of time talking about myself. All I have to say is people were very patient with me, and not bad at sounding interested.

I hate this photo. I don’t even want to post it. But this is what I got. I am definitely in a mindset of, screw it, I don’t care. I just want to sleep.

Today was Daylight Savings, church and the silent auction, lunch at the Loop with the girls, Lowe’s and Michaels with Billy and Christina, working on the advent calendar (it’s coming along), pork loin and homemade applesauce, driving home from cheer, and trying to stay awake until a respectable hour. I’m almost there.

I jumped off a bridge today and I’m still falling. I don’t know where I’ll hit ground. I can’t complain. It’s not like anyone pushed me. So much for regret.

Today was my last NAMI class for this year. I’m so glad I get to do this. It’s as good for me as it is for the people taking the class. But it will be nice to have my Sunday afternoons free again.
