so it's 6:40 am
i'm still up because mom slipped on some black ice taking out the garbage (we didn't even know it had been raining until she fell), but absolutely refused to go to the hospital to let someone take a look at it and insisted it wasn't serious, just a huge bruise (but also had me google internal bleeding), so i'm sitting up. but we think she'll be ok. *hopes, prays* i'll wake up jianjian soonish to take over and go crash myself.
and goodness do i need it. (korekara wa the entry i'd typed up before the fall:) i went to sleep at 8(am) yesterday, was woken up around 11, 11:30 to go along to pick jianjian up from the airport, and then we went straight to the mall for very last minute christmas shopping (because we celebrate with extended family today). ended up having dinner there at 7 in the food court. fell asleep on the way back, but mom made one last stop at best buy to get renee something. Then, from like. 9 (when we got home, and took the groceries/presents in) till maybe 11 we cleaned like mad. since the whole day, dad had moved one box into the basement. the boxes he was supposed to move in exchange for us to do all the christmas shopping for his grandkids :\\\ i mean, ok, they're my nieces and nephew, but still. he doesn't do anything.
then! we decorated the tree. it is red and white themed and v pretty. we recorded this, as per tradition. there's a funny moment where mom was creepin' and jianjian is taken by surprise by her presence. And then the video ends with a floating mochi icecream which is kind of hilariously awesome
sanctified_x: papa included? giving him all the dust you've swept is not a present.
:\\\ after tonight, it might be.
