Aside from going to Walmart for last minute needs and completely testing my tolerance to dumb fucks, It hasn't been too awful.
YET.
- I helped an old lady out in Smiths parking lot the other day. It was cold, she looked fragile and she had walked away from her cart that held a bunch of groceries and toilet paper on the bottom rack. I yelled "Hey Mam, I think these are your groceries!" and carried them over to her. She was the nicest old lady ever. She was seriously so sweet and grateful. said all the bless your hearts and merry Christmases one little old lady is capable of. It totally made me feel all cheery inside.
- I also had the opportunity to buy gifts for the families on the Christmas Angel tree and deliver said presents to the families in need. It was a very humbling experience.
- Last Sunday I had the 2nd annual Bartender Christmas party. The bar owner got her son to bartend for it so that all of us regular bartenders could get together, tie one on and exchange gifts. I'm pretty certian this is the ONLY Christmas party out there that you can unwrap panties, vagasil wipes, mini bottles and mace and have it totally be normal.
- The husband and I pledged to go inexpensive on eachother this year. --as well as everyone else. But... I think I might have something a little special in store for us both. Hopefully I'll find time to post over the holiday weekend. I think Santa might be a super rad dude to both of us this Christmas.
- And, last but not least, the annual Christmas sickness has arrived. I've been feeling slightly less than stellar for a couple weeks now. The husband and I keep ping ponging sicknesses back and forth but yesterday after delivering Christmas cards around town in the bitter ass cold, I sat down at my desk and could literally feel a sinus infection infiltrate my face. In every effort to NOT be sick over this weekend I made a doctor appointment for this morning. I tried to tell him over the phone that I did NOT need to come in and that I knew what a sinus infection felt like and it's what I had so pretty please with a cherry on top write me a fucking prescription but I'm pretty sure he missed me so badly he made me come in regardless of my self diagnosis. Oddly enough, he took one look up my nose and said "Well, It looks like you have a sinus infection" My response was "No shit?!"
My doctor is pretty sweet though. I mentioned how husband and I were both sick and he wrote me a prescription for enough antibiotics for us to share.
He also wrote me a doctors note on his prescription pad that read "Erica is extremely contagious and should not be around anyone over the Christmas Holiday"
He told me I could use that note as I saw fit.
Well peeps, as my last post before the Jolly old elf comes to visit I wish you all a very merry Christmas. I hope this holiday finds you all happy and well.
Peace. Joy. and mad love.
Over and out.
