    I think I'm odd cause I love wrapping gifts. I have a room dedicated to gift wrapping at Christmas. I match the wrap and tag to the person. I was able to find skate tags this year even!!!

    On my mind too is how I seem to be elected the person at my in laws to be the cheerful person who conducts the convo. As the sister in law and i did dishes I was in charge of asking questions to start convos. Before that I had to smooth over the incident of a nice bottle of wine being opened at the wrong time. Life would be easier if people just didn't take it so seriously

    That used to be my role also, when I was younger and the entire family would be in one room.

    I also used to really get into wrapping gifts.
    The buying of the perfect gift for each person was big for me too.
    I used to get so many compliments about the wrapped packages.

    I’ve resorted to bags now, sometimes I just write the name on a homemade tag.
    So lazy.
    I do still work hard at getting gifts that I think people will really like.

    I'm halfway there. Anything clothing went in a bag this year. (Especially since stores stopped giving gift boxes.) I still wrapped boxes if it wasn't a sweater, etc.

    It’s over, I’m home, my back is hurting, my feet hurt, the food was delicious, the grandkids loved their gifts, I am DONE.

    Yesterday I slept until 2:00pm.
    Today, I could have easily slept most of the day away but I forced myself to get up and out.
    Now, I’m ready for sleep again.

    The people that live directly across the creek from me added a new floodlight that was on all night.
    I took this photo standing in my study doorway which is next to my bedroom.

    This irritates the hell out of me. 😡

    I’m curious, would it irritate you?
    What would you do?

    It would definitely irritate me. Why does it have to be on all night?

    So proud of the Broncos!
    Earned a spot in the NCAA Division II Football Championship, they broke 19 school records.
    I get to listen to the games from my house, I live close by.

    Wishing you a speedy recovery… sprains can be just as painful and take longer to heal 🤗

    It's annoying and of course at skating I was determined to figure something out with a friend that uses the sore arm

    I think all good parents think this. After all no one’s life is perfect. Plus they learn through how we handle things rather through perfection. 😉 I hope the best for both of you. ❤️

    Oh I'm speaking mostly about the probate court process. Your life doesn't have to be perfect to leave a will with a named executor and your wishes known. Neglecting to do so leaves a mess, where a judge gets involved.

    Can I leave my BCAA’s in my large water to gain energy all day or does that defeat the purpose?! 😑

    Yes can leave your BCAA’s in your water all day for sure. Whether they actually provide extra energy if you’re already consuming enough protein in your diet is questionable. There is a product by 5% nutrition called ALL DAY YOU MAY which is BCAA and meant to be consumed in between meals, intro and post workout.

    Had great flavors but I haven’t used them in several years.

    5% had some great momentum behind them when Rich was still alive, but kinda fell away after, they had some crazy preworkout formulas as well. I seen recently they are gaining traction again.

    My thought is…why are lunges and Bulgarian split squats so evil?

    4 weeks ago I had some abnormal blood results, my liver was also slightly enlarged. Hoping it's not much longer to wait for an ultrasound. I don't think I can cope much longer with my anxiety. 🥺
    I quit alcohol on that day, changed my diet for the better too.

    Oh no hope everything is ok
