Day 130
Day 130 and I made another check off the to-do list. Since my husband died one of my priorities was getting his car in the garage since it’s not being driven all of the time. I got my van in as it was my “spot” but he always parked on the street. Well, the neighbors…

Day 129
Day 129 and that opened a whole can of worms. My sister-in-law was asking about Christmas and if we were coming, short answer no. She then asked if it was because I didn’t want to be around extended family or my mother-in-law because she would be weepy. I said it’s that and so much more.…

Day 128 and it’s a learning experience. I’ve found that people tend to walk on egg shells around me as in they try to censor their conversations. It started when my everyone but me knew my husband was cheating on me and then got progressively worse over the years when he was diagnosed with cancer…

Day 127
Say 127 and I do this every year. I started wrapping presents and separating them by family according to the paper they’re wrapped in. It makes it easier to keep track of who gets what. I also wrap each boy in their own wrapping paper so I know when they’re opening their presents who gets…

Day 123
Day 123 and I didn’t even want to make them. My mother-in-law has refused to open the Christmas cards I made this year. She needs to prepare herself. What? As if it was easy for me to make them? I wanted ti say fuck it as I cried looking at the pictures. While I had…

Day 121
Day 121 and I guess I just never really paid attention. I went to target today and I headed back to their Christmas workshop area. Every year we would all go and look at all of the fun Christmas candy/junk food. We would inevitably buy a crap ton of it and then get more of…
