Thrive to spite them

I haven't really done Christmas shopping. I have no idea what to get anyone. Last year M's extended family did a name exchange but I have no idea what they are doing this year and neither does he. I've asked him several times to ask his brother and he says he will. He wants to do family gifts which I'm fine with . I think I'm leaning towards snack baskets for families. Not making anything but buying stuff. I don't know

I know food can add up quickly but I'm thinking of hitting up TJ Maxx and Five Below for different treats and just we provided the snacks to go with a family game or movie night.

Mom needs hearing aids. She had skin cancer removed and 7 spots frozen off her face

I skipped my dermatologist appointment because for some reason I made it for 9:30 on my day off

This morning I've already been subjected to a coworker ranting that people just don't want to work anymore and I pointed out job cuts and lay offs. And her reply was if someone gets laid off they should find any job they can even if it's flipping burgers. I pointed out that some places don't hire overqualified people and I got back " then you find some place that does. You don't sit around and do nothing and just get unemployment that's lazy . " And then I backed off because I remembered I'm talking to someone who is extremely bitter and barely does her actual job here and gets bitchy when she's told to do stuff and will leave early rather than do what needs to be done

Our wings are not tired.

Good to read the better health news. Quick recovery ~ma to all.

Yesterday was so hectic that I completely forgot to do my puzzles and blew all my streaks. Oh well.

I have no idea what to do for most people for Christmas. My son I am getting a kitty and the associated needs for care. One sister, who loves orange, I got this awesome t-shirt. [link] and that is about it. I need to focus this weekend on that stuff.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Glad for your good news, lisah!

I am once again glad that I have well established that December holiday gifts are not a priority. That was always stressful when I did have to shop and it's such a relief not to have that hanging over me. I can concentrate all my stress into 2026 revenue plan preparation

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I haven't really done Christmas shopping. I have no idea what to get anyone.

I am in the same boat and Hanukkah starts MONDAY NIGHT.

The problem is I have one child who likes Things and is easy to shop for, and one child (the college student) who just wants money (which is easy but not satisfying as the gifter).
