A wonderful Christmas Time.....
Dec. 18th, 2024 09:20 amSo, I played a bit of stardew while I got the sushi bake prepped. I'm out of mirin so the rice wasn't perfect and I'm almost out of kewpie and used a sweet sauce so it was different but still tasty. Got that out of the oven, picked up the sullen teenager who had "homework, shower, dinner" as his priorities. I was like okay. So I had my dinner and got prepped for wrapping. The new Holiday White Ale from Sam Adams is killer. I put on Ghost Hunters and wrapped for 3 hours. Benton helped me out with getting the tree area picked up of ornaments the cats had knocked off. I then fixed all of the branches spicy and Tasha had mucked with and then we stacked things under and around the tree and the cats haven't been up in it since. So for next year I do need to get presents wrapped earlier so I can get them under and block access to the base of the tree. I was hella tired by the time I was done and took my second beer to the couch to sit and relax. It was well after 10 when I did this.
Mel got home at a bit after 1030 from the Knight Light Tourney. I had only known it was happening on Sunday cause there has been no communication other than I guess FB. I would have gone if I had known more than 2 days before. But that was okay. I had things to do, aka presents to wrap. Plus its a school night the last week of school. So it was okay. Anyhoo....by the time I had settled for bed and was in bed it was 1140pm I then read for a while and was lights out just a bit after midnight.
I will hopefully finish wrapping tonight after we get back from the botanical gardens...if not tomorrow after the dentist if I'm up for it. Today is my last work day. I have a few small tasks to do and that is it. Everything else is basically on hold until the new year. The gov't folks are basically done as well. So it feels weird. But I guess that is okay.
Got lots of small things but the big thing is Friday afternoon I will cut out my fabric for my dresses. I need to pull things for the shift but I need floor space to pull the bins out. My goal for the new year is to have some of the fabric storage in the closet but we need to purge the closet of things and my studio of things. I dont' know if I will have time for that but we shall see. The studio will be guest from for the 23-26th and then from the Jan 2-6th so not a lot of time in there but yeah sewing. I will probably also get my short sleeve coat cutout so I have that for the war too. I've been putting that off for literally years. We shall see. I'm trying not to be too ambitious. I also need to rest and recoup my brain meats.
Thus far the only thing I've been having is not wanting to sleep at night with being on a lower dose of my meds. I think that will settled down once I have my projects set...I want to work projects and not work my paying job. But a few more hours and I will be free.
I'm looking forward to the gardens tonight. That will fun. I've never been there for anything other than weddings and that has been years. So this will be fun.
Just a few more hours.
