Happy Christmas Eve eve!
FI went out plowing at 4 so I’ve been up since 4:45. We also went to bed at 8, so I’m feeling productive.
I have a to finish wrapping a few gifts before heading to my mom’s to help her prep for tomorrow.
What are you up to?

We went grocery shopping last night, and it sucked. The store was a damn mess, and they didn’t have everything we needed. I gave up in the end. I’ve also noticed that grocery shopping, and large groups of purposeless people is making me anxious. It sucks. And now we’ll hsve to go out today again to get the things we’re missing.
Our plan for the weekend is to pack and get the house in proper shape before we leave. One of H’s coworker is staying at our house to take care of Troy while we’re gone, and id like to have the house clean for him.
Other than that, I’m really excited for H to be able to spend the next almost two months with E!

We are cleaning and doing laundry. Either MH or myself need to get groceries, which is going to be a nightmare, so I nominate H. We have nothing planned today. I need to wrap two presents, but that's it.

It's raining here. I'm lucky that it's warm enough not to freeze. Apparently my parents are iced in. We're definitely getting a white Xmas this year, so my family has decided to postpone celebrating until Tuesday. I was hoping we could do it tomorrow but my uncle is out of town.
I'm baking shortbread cookies today, most of which will be given to my neighbor. I'm in the mindset for baking, so I really want to make my cheesecake, but I'm going to wait until Monday.
I think I'm going to go pick up a pizza shortly so I'll have leftovers to be snowed in with.

I slept in wayyy later than I wanted to, but whatever. We got 80% of our grocery shopping done last night, but thankfully I don’t need the other 20% until after Christmas. There’s no way I’d venture to our grocery store today. It’s just going to be H and me for Christmas dinner, so we got ourselves some nice steaks, and I’m REALLY looking forward to those!
My plan for the day is to tidy up a bit, wrap the few presents I have here (everything else was sent out of state), and just relax.

I woke up too early so I've been busy cleaning. I cleaned the bathroom and deep cleaned the refrigerator. I currently have all of the sheets and blankets in the wash/dryer. I really need to go to the grocery store so that I can get things to make for dinner tomorrow and for Christmas but it's cold and rainy and I really don't want to go out.

I sent H to the grocery store yesterday. Glad that is done. I'm just hoping we thought of everything we needed.
I'm organizing the putting things away. My parents will be here at the end of the week, so this is my last weekend opportunity to make the upstairs semi-presentable before they arrive. I've made it to the "gets worse before it gets better" stage and I'm losing steam. 🤣

I (we) got to sleep in today!! Thanks, C I'm finally feeling better today! C and I are going to hit up Academy to get H's Christmas present. I picked up groceries yesterday that I ordered online the night before, but my cart somehow got emptied and I forgot to add a few things. After that, I'm not sure what we'll get in to. He keeps saying he wants to see Santa again, but there isn't a snowballs chance in hell I'm going to Bass Pro or the mall. I need to pull a phelpsface and sarahbelle and do some cleaning that I've been putting off. Why do I do that to myself?

I am annoyed at how my weekend is playing out. We left later than usual yesterday because I had two interviews in the morning. I had hoped those were the final ones, but now I have another one next week. Ugh. And when we finally hit the road, it took us five hours to get to my parents yesterday, which is double the time it normally takes.
Now H is begging me to go see Star Wars. I am not a fan of Star Wars and hate going to the movies but now my entire family is telling me I should go. I just want to sit down and relax for an afternoon since our lives have been crazy the last few weeks but that's probably not going to happen now.

chairmanmiao Can you compromise? Sleep through the movie with him and then get a pedicure/massage/go out for drinks/do something fun that you want to do? I'm sorry your weekend isn't going as expected. H wants to see Star Wars as well. I told him I'd go, but he has to see Pitch Perfect 3 with me first.

This is a really good idea. I should really stop whining and count my blessings and be more grateful. It's been the most stressful year of my life and this Christmas could've been so much worse. Seeing a movie that I'm not terribly interested in is trivial compared to the other things we've faced.

Everyone is being so productive today!
I dropped the dog off at daycare around 8, then got breakfast for myself, and took a quick nap. I did my long run (4 miles) today since it's currently snowing at my parents' house, so I don't think running will happen while I'm in New Hampshire. I need to spend the rest of the afternoon packing and cleaning, since I fly out tonight with the dog. I'll leave NH on Wednesday, and have the rest of the week to lay around at home, and I am really looking forward to it.
I think I might spend the $25 to check my bag so I don't have to deal with it and a dog who insists on being carried on escalators in the airport. I hate spending money on checking bags but...it'll be easier. I also decided I'm not going to bring my work laptop home with me, which is very freeing. I'll probably still bring my personal one though, because Netflix.

Lol. Look at you all being productive and shit. I am decidedly not. DH and I have been lounging around watching A Golden Christmas 1-3 on Ion. Only they played them in reverse order. Lol. Also they are all the same and all terrible.

LINGERLONGER That sounds delightful! Sooooo C decided he was suddenly exhausted as we were about to walk out of the door. Two and half hours later and he is still out. On one hand, I'm glad he is finally napping on the weekend. On the other hand, I HAVE STUFF TO DO. Come on, kid!

I braved the grocery store. It was terrible. Also I only got food for 3 meals and it was $100+! How does that happen?!
I stopped at the package store to get Baileys to spike my hot chocolate and they were out of everything except the giant and mini bottles. I felt a little strange buying like 10 mini bottles but I am really looking forward to the hot chocolate!

I went to the grocery store also... it was hell on earth. In a few minutes I’m going to brave Target with my bf to get his kids some last minute things and to pick up some picture frames for my mom. Wish me luck.

The parking lot at Target was packed, but at least the end of the store we were in wasn't very busy. They have some things to work out with their app though, my RedCard automatically came up when I scanned my Cartwheel, then it wouldn't let me use a gift card first. Cashier ended up voiding all. Twice. She was going all tap happy and doing things she didn't mean to. Had to rescan everything 3 times.

I ordered Chinese delivery 45 minutes ago and it's still not here. He said 15-30 minutes.
I should have just gone out and picked up sushi.

LINGERLONGER if it makes you feel any better, my weekend is so not productive. I thought I was going to have 3 busy days and 1 day to sit and binge Netflix. Thanks to the weather, it's reversed. I'm so bored.
