I just checked in on CJ's grades. Today he had two finals, but grades are already posted for 4 of his 5 classes - 2 A's and 2 C's with the final class an assumed C. Which means he doesn't have to worry about academic probation from ARP for another half semester.
I keep reminding him that next year, I won't have access nor do I wish to have access if it were available (I am so rediculously happy it isn't). The only reason I check no is to make sure academic probation isn't an issue. In college, he is on his own.
Must admit, I still boggle at how low my standards for grades are for him. If this were K-Bug, totally different story.
I still have to mail Xmas presents. Mom said if I wrapped hers she'd wrap the others, but there's not much but hers to send. I want to get my dad and brother something else but I'm out of ideas. My brothers' gf just wants gift cards. I'd like to get Mom something else but I'm dealing with - I didn't get everyone a fair number/dollar amount of presents. This year kind of sucks.
I got socks for Mom and Brother's GF. And I was at the store trying to make a left turn and then realized it wasn't going to happen so I made a right and went to the Habitat for Humanity ReSTore and looked at some cool furniture I have no place for and got some shelf bracekts I've needed for nearly 1 1/2.
And I found this - [link] and brought it home for a buck.
It reminds me of somehting and looks like it was homemade and - only a dollar!
Originally I was going to buy some little ceramic houses for part of the Christmas village thing I have going (I have a TARDIS keychain and I'm building a very not to scale Christmas village around that) but they wanted $5/per house.
For those who might be interested (looking Michigan-ward), here's Aladdin, the Mount Vernon Christmas Camel.
Jesse, is this on "Good Stuff"? Ferguson protestors get engaged. [link]
Looks like I'm continuing my tradition of somebody telling me I'm doing Christmas wrong every December. It would be nice to be able to get through this month without it, but I guess it's not to be.
You're doing Christmas wrong?! Merciful heavens, save us all from stupid pseudoChristians who don't want to admit that Christmas isn't all that important to everyone on the planet.
That is such bullshit, Hil.
Well I would kind of HOPE you were doing Christmas wrong since...I wouldn't think you were doing Christmas at all, so...yeah.
Well, the person who told me I was doing Christmas wrong sort of apologized to me. Basically "I didn't mean to offend you," and then repeating most of the same stuff she'd said already. I just said "Thanks" and nothing more.
So, "I didn't mean to offend you...but you're doing Christmas wrong"? As in, the holiday you don't celebrate?
Some people. Sheesh.
