Man I slept like shit last night. I took a nap too late in the day and it threw me off, plus I changed pillows which was not a smart move. I was tired at 10 so I went to bed but then I ended up tossing and turning until 12:30, then woke up multiple times. Fuck it. I am up.
Okay, let's start with Christmas Eve. I really feel like there's a lot to do around here and having to go out at noon to go to a house with people I don't really know and noisy children was not on my agenda. So I went with a chip on my shoulder. To be honest, I have had a chip since I got home. I don't really know why, but it's been there and it's been driving me nuts. Maybe because I was gone for so long and just don't feel at ease here? I really don't know. Anyway, we go over there and there's like 20+ people including aforementioned children. It's that noise that's bothering me the most. It's like the final straw. Plus these people put out food at 2 in the afternoon. Who the fuck is eating at 2pm?? It's ham and green beans casserole. Whee, all the midwest food I find disgusting. Then they do the mass present opening. I don't like getting gifts from strangers. If it was cash I wouldn't mind but no, it's socks and a jacket I will never wear. Honestly, I already gave both to B. Now I have to smile and act like "oh yes, this is nice, thank you ever so much for something I won't use.". I fucking hate it. After all that was over things calmed down a bit and I enjoyed myself just sitting around talking. That part wasn't bad. It was everything else that drove me up a fucking wall. We got out of there around 5 or 6 I think it was. I ate some real food when we got home. There was nothing at the party that I wanted to eat except pickles, olives, some cheese, and a slice of bread. It was the ultimate diet night.
On to Christmas. The morning was fine. We opened presents, got some fun stuff. My real present is coming tomorrow in the form of that new laptop. Everything else under the tree was little things this year. I got like 3 books, a flannel, some sleep stuff, some bath stuff, and a pack of smart switches. Very controlled Christmas this year.
But then once again, we had to leave the damn house. Over to her mother's this time. Christmas Eve was her dad's side, this time the mother's side. Which was worse because it's her mother and BF, her mom's parents, and the girls. The girls bug me. The grandparents bug me. The only one I honestly like is the BF who has shown to be a decent guy. He was a douche when they broke up way back, but since then he's been okay. They weren't planning on eating until 3 which is better, so little food out to eat and I hadn't had a chance to consume anything before we left, which made me hangry from the minute we got there. On top of that, B needed to make three more stops at other people's houses to drop off more of her 344 cookies. So more visiting with random people I don't know or care to know. Good times.
Finally got home at 2 and that's when I took the ill-fated nap. Slept until 4. FINALLY got the chinese food I wanted. Dinner was good. Not exceptional, but good, and I was happy. We had an adventure at the end. While I was up at the counter paying the bill, this old bitch decided she needed to sit and chose our booth. No seriously. She just sat down. I walk back to the table like WTF? B is just too shocked to say anything. We just left before I caused a scene.
Back home I was still angry for no good reason and was snappy. We put out all the garbage for today. Hopefully they will take everything. I went downstairs and cleaned until it passed. Went to bed at 10 and had horrible night.
Today the electrician is coming to give us a quote on stuff. Let's see how that goes.
