Oaky to recap the last two days:

Tuesday:
Got up and took the friend to work. She's gone finally btw. We took her to her mother's yesterday afternoon. But having to get up and drive someone on Christmas Eve. Fuck capitalism sometimes. Seriously. I had to take her to her drug test thing first too which sucked. But she's almost done with that. Only two more weeks.

Got back, got ready to go out, and headed over to B's grandparent's around 11:30. Stayed there until about 4 being overwhelmed and frustrated. Frustrated because I don't like stupid Christmas gifts. On one hand, B did all the shopping this year for her grandparents and from "them" I got something cool. I got a puzzle storage board from my wishlist. Perfect. Just what I wanted. But from other family members? Ugh. Slippers that don't fit and I would never wear. I did get some Pops but again, B bought those and labeled them from her sisters. B knows what I want. The others, not so much. Plus there were too many kids, too much noise, and just ugh.

Got home, B got the friend from work, then at 7 we settled in for TV. Watched our Xmas Eve stuff and went to bed.

Wednesday:
I still hate that the holiday was on a Wednesday. Annoying. Took the friend AGAIN to her drug thing. At 6am. Fuck me. Got back, eventually opened presents. Approve of all gifts. Got our SimpliSafe system. I spent about 2 hours getting it all configured and set up. We are now protected. Also got some clothes and things from my list. Nothing that makes me bounce off the walls, but nothing disappointing either. I opened my heater from my client and that's pretty sweet. It heats up the entire house in like 10 minutes. This thing is powerful. Got 8 shirts total from the kid - 4 for me, 4 for B. She even made a custom Britney one for B.

Speaking of B, she's having good hours and bad hours. If she slows down and has time to 'think' she goes off into her head still. I fear it will be like this until the memorial on Monday but it is what it is. She went over and saw the family on Tuesday and said the dad looked like the life had been drained out of him. The siblings (all older and already out of the house) were all just beat up and tired looking. I can't imagine. Sucks.

Went for Chinese food as is the rule. Found a new good place that we want to go to under normal situations later.

Today nothing is planned other than washing the car. Then tomorrow it's off to Grand Rapids.
