Ugh, sorry posts have been so scarce this week--I've been feeling weirdly stressed and fragile (which, apparently not a PMS thing (yet?), but I've never been a weepy PMS-er before). Mostly it's been that one of my dogs has had constant diarrhea--not inside the house, but still, WORRYING. And the vet still isn't really sure what's wrong with her, even though we've done blood tests and put her on antibiotics. :(((
But! We now have a Christmas tree! So that's wonderful! And I'm mostly done with Christmas present shopping, though I somehow lost a pair of earrings for my mom? (This double sucks because she pointed them out to me and said, "I'm walking away," so she knows I bought them and she'll be really sad if I can't find them!)
ALSO! Last week Mom was in a fender bender that fucked up her car (she's fine though!), so it's in the shop and she's using a rental which I can't drive without shelling out more money per day, which wouldn't be a problem except my van is ALSO in the shop due to it's tendency to pull left or right (at random!) while breaking, so I've been mostly home-bound except when I can bully my brother into driving me around in his stick-shift. (I refuse to learn how to drive stick in winter. Just. Fuck no.) And because I was the one home I was dealing a lot with the insurance people who don't understand that most people work during the day, and the tow truck, and the autobody shop, and and and and
THE CHRISTMAS CARS ARE FINALLY FUCKING MAILED. I'm so sorry. Forever a failflake. *hangs head*
Ugh I'm hungry. And I need to do laundry. This is the most exciting post I have ever written, jfc.
