I think last week I was one of the very few people in my building at work that wasn't off at least one day other than Thanksgiving proper (everyone got that off). I spent my whole work week covering for people who were out and we were aweful busy.
Thanksgiving itself was great. Spent time with my husband's family. The whole family because Mama Lynn's whole bunch came over as well. Was happy I was able to help Faythe through some panic attack issues. We spent a lot of time talking. My social anxiety issues have never run nearly as deep as hers, but having had them I have a lot of understanding. My niece Ella and I talked more American Girl talk. She's going to spaz when Christmas comes. Sad to hear it seems they haven't been able to find/haven't un-packed any of their books since they moved this past summer. She was talking about wanting to read them again. Food was good, company was great, and best of all no drama (at least none that I know of or heard).
Woke up Saturday morning and seem to have caught the ick that's traveling around. My mom and Logan have had it most of the week, though it seems I pushed past and nipped the chest congestion in the bud and it's all moved into my nose/head. Got medicine put in me Saturday and went up to Paris to see Dad's extended family for more Thanksgiving. More than half the bunch (almost 50 of us) had the ick. Good to see everyone, even if I'm not very social with any of them. And as usual always great to see my grandmother.
Today, as I said, the ick moved all to my nose/head. Glad not to be caughing, but my head has been baloon like most of the day. Went out for lunch for pho, then did a little more Christmas shopping. After packages arrive by the end of this week I will have the rest of my overseas gifts and will hopefully ship them out next weekend. Had to do my mom's shopping for Pimmy because she wasn't going to send her anything because the shipping is so expensive to Thailand, and I'm all like "Who cares!". I would have sent her something last year except right before Christmas was when all that terrible flooding happened and so she wasn't in a place I could really send anything since everyone was evacuated from their homes. I let her birthday slip up on me last year too. I really have loved having conversations with my sister in law how she thinks Pimmy would love me becuase we seem to have a lot in common (tom boyish girls who like nice dolls). She wanted a blythe, but she's going to have to settle for a Dal. I'm thinking if she thought she liked Blythes, that she's going to really love Pullip dolls. Since I shopped for my mom she's getting one of the Littlest Petshop Loves Blythe sets that comes with a couple pets and a couple changes of clothes for the little Blythe doll.
Other than some Christmas shopping online and off today, I've been sitting around trying to get better, watching Kpop and working on my assignments for DMG. I think I'm cutting it a little close on one of my DMG deadlines, but the time has just been terrible for me. I didn't know when I took my current assignments I'd be moving and all the other mess that's gone on. Anyways not much else to go on about. Need to get back to DMG work, so off I go!
Well I did go away a moment then I remembered other things... I got the newest member of my doll family this past week. My SOOM Goss, his name is Torrance (Tori for short). I also was super thrilled on Black Friday. The only place I shopped was the US H.naoto web store in which I picked up a couple new tops, a pair of socks and some earrings. I was soooo stupidly thrilled to get a shirt I've been eyeballing for almost half off. I look forward to getting it becuase it's just so pretty.... Okay, that that was really all my other exciting news.
