12-25-23 Love from all corners
Merry Christmas
Sawyer came and woke me up some time after 7 with a good snuggle. We all headed down to the living room and began with coffee and stockings.
We were all spoiled beyond measure. I was especially moved by a few things including a mug that their neighbour and my friend Addison saw and thought of me, even though we don’t usually swap gifts. There were also cool things from the UK Besties. Hard Rock Reykjavic pin and unique salt and pepper shakers. Roger found some awesome Jack bath bombs, Rae, a wicked fun calendar, Ashlée, some beautiful feather earrings, Jake and Yumi, the perfect puzzle and Danika, a vintage cup set. There was also a perfect shaped mug from Bill and Deanne, and just so much more.
I made breakfast of pork sliders which were mixed with shredded gala apples and topped with a mixture of BBQ sauce and maple syrup and cheddar cheese served in a Red Lobster biscuit. It was a hit, phew!
Bill went and picked up my Mom and I went for some time out in Lukas’s room. There is some weird ass energy this year and it is not just me. Rae is struggling, she and Roger are sniping. I think we are all at a place of stress in our lives and bumping off each other. Everyone was pleased when Mom (GG) give us all $25 gift card for Disneyland.
We had a delicious dinner with The Greys joining us. I enjoyed sitting with the kids in the kitchen as there was no room left in the dining room. We had good conversation.
I took Mom home and when I got back, after finding Emmy asleep on the couch and her deciding she didn’t feel well and wanted to be with her mom, I settled into a game of 5 minute Dungeon with Demitri, Emilia, Lukas, Roger and Ashlée. It was fun, but I was fading and decided to come home to sleep tonight. In spite of all the drama, it was a decent Christmas and I will go to the office tomorrow before meeting everyone at Encore at 3 and then of to the Bungay Bash after 6. I look forward to no alarm.. or noise and Missy seems happy that I am home.
