skye_writerI am ready for everything to be over now.
Like, I’m excited about Christmas and everything (I mean I guess I am?), but I am ready for everything to go back to normal. And it’s 4.5 days til the actual day.
I don’t know. I’m tired all the time, but that’s either the B12 deficiency or residuals from staying up late Wednesday night to see my brother and SIL when they dropped off their cat. (In short: they don’t have any close friends in CO to watch their cat, nor do they have the extra cash to board him for a week and a half, so they brought him, along with their dog. SIL’s dad is allergic to cats, so kitty stays with us while they visit her family.) It was nice to see them, however briefly, and I can’t wait to properly hang out when they get here on Monday.
But I’m ready for the Holidays to be over. Already. I feel like there’s too much going on and I can’t settle into a routine at all and it’s just frustrating as hell. I don’t know. I know Christmas will be here before I know it, but it feels so far away and so close at the same time. I need to figure out what I’m doing for Christmas dessert. I need the rest of my presents to family to get here so I can wrap them. (Most of them are coming today, but the last thing for my sister might not be here til Monday. Maybe.)
In other news:
I came up with a plan for accomplishing things in the new year that I am already trying to implement. Just a list of things to do every day, or on certain days, or whatever. It’s going... okay, at the moment? I guess? I’m not doing everything every day, but I am doing more than I was doing, so I guess that’s good.
My cat is still sick. (I don’t know if I posted about it here, but she peed on my bed right after Thanksgiving and then she did it again the other night, so.) I took her to the vet again and she probably has either a UTI or kidney problems, and since we can’t afford the blood tests for kidney issues right now, we’re treating the UTI with antibiotics. And hoping this solves the problem. I’m not sure how much it’s helping right now? But she’s only been 2 days on the antibiotics, so who knows. She’s still not eating her wet food in the morning (much to my chagrin), she’s still drinking way too much... I don’t know. I know she’s old—she turned 16 this year—but part of me isn’t ready to say goodbye yet. She’s been living in my room for like... four years now? Four and a half? And it was deeply deeply weird when she had to spend the night at the vet back in February for bowel issues. Just... not having her around. I don’t know. This year has been hard enough. I don’t need Yet Another Thing happening, I really don’t.
I finished page 2 of the Rivendell cross-stitch for my brother. I’m probably just going to do a little bit every day up til Christmas and maybe start working on it again in earnest in the new year. I should probably print out a picture of the full pattern so he knows what it’s supposed to look like when he opens it on Christmas.
.... at any rate. Hope you all are doing well, as always. If I don’t post again for a while, hope you all have a happy holiday, whatever you may celebrate.
