Deck the halls...
Dec. 17th, 2019 03:34 amDid you miss me?
The tree is still not decorated fully, though progress has been made. I can't decide whether I should jump in and help or not since this is likely a gift free Christmas (I mean, I'm giving scaled back gifts but I don't think I'm getting any beyond maybe, if I'm lucky, someone finishing decorating sometime this decade and also yummy Christmas cookies) and you might've noticed the decorating falling under someone else's job. On the other hand, I really would have liked to get more than two days before Christmas to enjoy the goddamn tree being done. It shouldn't take an act of God to get this done. I should not be this ticked about a tree.
I shall attempt to distract myself since I didn't mean to go off on a tree tangent. Yesterday I went for my eye exam. Yay? Went for the dilation, which meant I basically kissed the rest of my day off goodbye. Woe. Also, we ran late because for some reason 26 was backed allllllll the way up. Never did find out why. I was going to link to them but I don't remember which ones I decided on. I did, however, get the joy of having to laugh when asked to do the "glasses off, hand over left eye, what can you see" chart test. Nothing. I can see nothing. Last year the woman took one look at my prescription and decided nope, not even going to have you attempt it. This year I guess they wanted a laugh. :P Otherwise, my eyes are glorious, they just don't see well.
The bad thing about the traffic is that we didn't get there early so I had to pick out my glasses while my eyes began dilating. Not fun, as some of you probably know. Then Mums and I stopped at AC Moore since they're closing.
They had a mix of really good sales and shitty sales, but someone who shall not remain nameless (Cass) put the idea of going insane with decorating my bats into my head and I needed supplies. At first I didn't think I was going to buy anything and then Mums and I found a grumpy owl to finish Ozma's wreath (don't worry, you'll see it in a minute) aannnnnnnnnnd then she left me to stumble around the store and I spent too much. Seriously, I don't know how.
But since I was blinded by science for the afternoon, I didn't do any crafting.
Sunday, however, the cat and I fired up the glue gun and went to town. I did wind up having to buy a new glue gun as the old one is likely lost in the wilds of Widget's room. But this new one, after eating the first stick and giving very little in return, did really well. It didn't drip (which is a thing I remember being annoyed by every other time I've used one) and I didn't burn the ever loving shit out of myself.
( Pictures! Ozma, too! )
While not perfect, I think Claudia would forgive me.
