Left work a few minutes later than normal this evening, got off the bus around 6:30. Forced myself to drive the two blocks over to Tar’get and do my Christmas shopping.
Intended on only shopping for a few toys and clothes for the girl.
Not going to mention how many “toys” (dolls, and games, etc.) I ended up getting.
Not going to mention the number of different clothing things.
Not going to mention buying presents for her parents (got the wrong size for Jordan and might have to return it for the right size).
Not going to mention the cashier lines at Tar’get – not sure why they didn’t open more lanes.
It’s hard.
It’s tiring.
[two full hours at Tar’get – including the standing in line]Reece has returned from Embrey-Riddle for the holidays – had to get something for him.
I drive home and unload the thirty-seven bags of stuff and start separating them into “person piles”.
Took something out of the fridge and nuked it.
Turned the tv on to watch while eating. Not sure exactly what it was I watched – I think I just stared at the screen saver.
Food is digesting, making me sleepy – can’t fall asleep now, I’ll wake up at 3-4 am.
Maybe I’ll take a short nap.
ZzzzzzZzzzZz.
Got tomorrow night and Friday to wrap everything up – I know I bought too many things for her – going to have to split them up into a pile for her to open on Christmas Eve and a second pile for Christmas Day, and maybe a pile for her to “find” sometime in January. I think I bought twelve clothing items, and four toys (Her stuff is cheap).
