Before I get into today's real post, I want to comment on something. Every Sunday I read Post Secret. Lately it's been kind of bland. But today was a Christmas edition. We have to stop and remember sometimes that there are way too many people out there that dread this time of year. Being alone or worse it would seem, being with family. I used to be one of those people. The number of times I worked on Christmas or had to wait for the kid to get to my house before I could have my holiday made the time of year almost a chore and hassle. I am grateful I am in a different place this year. I am looking forward to this week. While it will be different since we are doing Christmas Eve with the kid and then B had to work on Christmas, it will be a day filled with people I want to be around. People who want to be around me. I miss my sister and her family and wish I could be around them this week too, but at least I am going to have someone to wake up next to on Christmas morning that I want to share the day with. Only 65 hours to go.
Speaking of Christmas, got up yesterday at 5:45 and was out the door by 7:15. I was one of the first people inside the dollar store. Yep, yesterday was stocking stuffer day. I even got KBF a stocking so he could have something to open on Christmas. I know, I'm a nice guy. After there, I went to the grocery store and stocked up. I am going to be home for the next few weeks straight and wanted to make sure there is more than enough food in this house. I spent $300 but as I calculated out yesterday, that's three weeks of food at least which breaks down to about $2.40 a meal each. Not too shabby. I can't live on that eating out. I didn't buy anything useless either. No stupid food. Meats, fish, staples, soups, etc. Good stuff to keep us from eating out the next couple of weeks.
Got home and B was awake. Her and I went back out as I did something I have been wanting to do. I got my nose pierced. Yes, I added another hole to my head. It's a small 18 gauge ring. Nothing crazy or big. I will never do spacers or plugs or anything weird like that. I like it. It's something different. After that we stopped at the costume store to see if I could find something for our friend's nephews party. He is having a disney theme party and people are coming in costume. I didn't want to spend what they wanted for a costume unfortunately. Headed back home and B took a nice nap. The piercing place was in the city and we took public transportation which means it was a good couple of hours there and back. It drained her. She is still sick and that was the most she has done all week.
Made steaks for dinner and around 8 one of our friends came over. He is going to Disneyland next week and I needed him to do me a favor. The silkscreen on my nice leather Disney jacket is coming off and he is taking it with him to see what they can do. We sat and talked for a couple of hours and I gave him a bottle of champagne for taking my jacket. B was starting to feel rundown again and I had her in bed by 11. My lips are finally starting to feel better but not 100%. Still cracked and bloody.
Today B has a spa appointment for some waxing otherwise this begins my time of nothing. Long live the nothing.
