Christmas was a bit different this year because my brother and his girlfriend were going to be spending Christmas all day with his girlfriend's family. That meant we had to open the presents from them and to them on Christmas Eve. And that's what we did when they first arrived. I did get a gift from them, which was a book, but I already owned the ( Read more... )

So, 2022. I really thought it might be a better year than 2021, but there were some awful things that happened. Not just in my personal life, but in the nation too. Like the overturning of Roe V. Wade, which is horrifying and still is. That doesn't mean good things didn't happen either though, so let me go over the most significant things that ( Read more... )

So, Christmas. Things were ruined yet again, but this time more for me than the others. I thought I was going to dodge it. It appeared to be going that way, but unfortunately I had to get Covid too late. I started having this tickle in my throat all day. I think that was on the 18th, if it wasn't the day before. But the night of the 18th I had gunk ( Read more... )

It's that time of year again for the Festival of Holidays at DCA. We ran into a snag once we were there. That is to say, there was a long line to get in the parking structure and then again for the trams. We had to wait for three or four trams before we got on. It literally took us an hour and a half from the time we left the house to actually ( Read more... )

We finally got to have our Christmas yesterday. It was such a weird situation really. Normally we have a special breakfast with bacon and french toast on a Christmas morning, which we still did on the 25th, and then we'd usually open presents after that. This time we had Christmas two days later and Grammy and my brother came over around one to ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm blogging on Christmas. I'm sick and unfortunately we have to push the celebration back now. It really sucks. I don't know if it's COVID. There are no at-home tests available right now, and I admit I'm scared to get the PCR, not because I'm afraid of it being COVID, but because I'm afraid it will hurt. It sounds ridiculous, but it's very ( Read more... )

We went to Disneyland yesterday. The Festival of Holidays are now on and we naturally wanted to try a couple of the foods. Not as many this year. Maybe the pandemic had something to do with it, but there wasn't a whole lot I was interested in this time. But first I wanted to try getting on the Webslingers ride. They recently switched to a standby ( Read more... )

All things considered with everything that's happening in the world right now, I had a good Christmas. First, the meal. I went Googling for side ideas for our ham, and partly came up with the menu myself. My mom wanted to go with baked potatoes and yams this time. We also had couscous, biscuits with honey, and I found out this yummy recipe for ( Read more... )

I had a pretty nice Christmas, but it was off to a late start this year. Both of my parents have been sick since Thanksgiving. Yeah, I really don't know what's going on there. :/ But luckily I've been fine *knocks on wood*. So, decorations went up late and not all of them went up. My mom thought we'd never get the tree up, but we finally did. The ( Read more... )

I finished Little Misfortune yesterday. This game is set in the same universe as Fran Bow, which I didn't know until I looked online, but it explains some of the things from Fran Bow seen in this game. There's also a Fran Bow 2 in the works which might tie the two games together, so that's something to look forward to. But this is a standalone ( Read more... )
