And for the food, my class on Tuesday nights we all put in money throughout the year and then we use that to buy the food for the baskets. We need about 450 toys (total from the whole Church) and about 190 food baskets. Plus we had to put a new roof on the Church this year and invest in solar so that was $80,000.00 that everyone pitched in to raise. I just feel like my pocketbook is drained this year. Christmas should be fun and enjoyable, not stressful because there's an expectation of "stuff" At least I'm almost done shopping. HUGS Kit

I do get the tithing but you've actually done an awful lot already. 10 toys = wow!

I'm not a big shopper anymore (my money goes on therapy

). Maybe just keep browsing.

My brother= nothing. We've agreed no gifts.

Sister 2= she's pretty simple just a box of ferrror rochers and a ticket for Paddigton on ice,

Sister 1 = £20 starbucks gift card, ticket for Paddigton on ice, small box of lindt chocolate truffles and a real small potted christmas tree. ( I didn't pay full price for it!)

T= small 400g box of shortbread and a children's book set.

Please try to tell T. You need alot more support right now.I'm sorry we can't do more.

Pdoc appointment was kind of rough.

Possible trigger:

He asked if I still had my pills and I told him that I took them. He said he knew then why I had canceled my last appointment. He said twice... didn't ask...that he thought I need to go to the hospital. I told him I don't have anyone to watch my kids. He dropped it after that

He is changing my medication and I see him back in 2 weeks. He told me not to make him nervous by canceling again.

Thanks @Lemoncake I'm really going to try to tell Regular T (undecided about Pastor T). I have to tell her in the beginning of the session or else I'll probably chicken out. HUGS Kit

Today in random connected moments with my T, he was talking about a journal article he had printed out that related to something we were discussing. He said it was an analysis of multiple studies, and we then said, in unison, "meta-analysis."

Stopdog, do we have a date? Its our favorite!

atisketatasket · 06:17 PM

Today was a horrible day to forget lunch. Decided to go to the student union for it, it was shut for one its periodic fire alarms. Elected to power through and teach, am now stuck in a seemingly endless faculty senate meeting. I'm not really hungry yet, but my head is killing me.

ETA: oh god and now some old fogey is bringing up Robert's Rules of Order. Which I have nothing against but I have everything against the old fogey.

That does sound horrible. Awful and horrible. Faculty senate meetings are even worse than faculty department meetings - and those are bad enough.

We agree again.

I would like to see Ron Howard in the lead role. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. Or maybe theres a draft here. I dont even know what a sutton foster is. Who are going to be the fat guy and the funny lady, thats what enquiring minds want to know.

I have a neighbor here who actually IS Marion the librarian. I dont want to live anyplace else.

Since I didn't do Black Friday I figured I'd better get some stuff online today. Got the oldest and her boyfriend, and some for the youngest. Will finish up next payday. I still have to get some small gifts for people I didn't give birth to.

Happy Monday couch! Hugs and head-nods all around.

ScarletPimpernel · Dec 02, 2019 at 07:01 PM

I enrolled in 2 classes today: history (bleh) and child development. After those 2 and one more history, I'll get my AA in psychology! Then I'll go into child development. I'm so nervous. Classes will start in no time. Least they're online and I basically don't have to go on campus anymore.

SlumberKitty · Dec 02, 2019 at 07:08 PM

Congrats @ScarletPimpernel that's great that you signed up for classes. I hope you enjoy them! Lots of hugs Kit

I took a nap with my D and woke up incredibly anxious. I feel like I'm grasping at straws lately to not feel so down.

I'm also finding myself to be upset about losing 2 points on a paper for my class. I know it's only 2 points and it's not going to ruin my 4.0 GPA. I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong and I'm stuck on it.
