Went to see The Shape of Water (which I loved) and then braved a couple of the local grocery stores to find paneton but both TJ’s and Sprouts only had the chocolate chip versions left (sigh, serves me right for putting it off until the last minute). I guess I’ll be reliving my childhood because my aunt and uncle would make chocolate chip paneton for the kids since we hadn’t acquired a taste for candied fruit.

Also still waiting to hear from my friend since her whole family is down with the flu, but I’m assuming I’m still on my own for the holidays.

Tomorrow I shall be brave and venture to Target right at opening because there are a couple of items that I need that can’t wait until the 26th, but I haaaaaaaaate crowds.

Other than that, still no plans. Will probably nap, watch nonsense on the computer, and enjoy having a break with no commitments since I’ll be working six days in a row next week during our busiest time of the year. But it’s my last week, so I can’t complain (well, not too much).

My weekend plans fell through because my BFF and her kids have the flu. Trying to figure out how not to waste the weekend since it’s the rare weekend I have off (she says, forgetting that she’s going to start a new job in a week where she’ll be working Monday-Friday with regular hours each day, which is schedule she hasn’t seen since 2012).

Contemplating going to the movies since even though I have movie dates lined up, there are still like five movies out right now that I really want to see.

But then I remember that the cinema is in a shopping area that’s busy in normal times of the year and thinking about going there the weekend before Christmas makes me go, “Ummmm, no.”

What to do, what to do…

I typed a long thing about my schmaltzy sentiments after watching Pitch Perfect 3 with friends (and drinking too much Moscow mule) but then Tumblr crashed and I lost it all so just know that I love you, random internet person, and I hope you can always hang on to your inner sense of joy and purpose.
