Hey there, everyone. I know I’ve been MIA for a few days, but you can blame the holidays for that one lol. :p
The last time I posted was Christmas Eve, and after that post, I worked on a few orders and turned off WWE Raw at 10pm. My Mom's favorite version of A Christmas Carol (1938) was on at 10pm, and I didn't NEED to finish Raw. I know how it is to want to see a Christmas special, and you only have one time to catch it. Anyways, she watched her movie while I got my gifts separated between my family here and those I was exchanging with outside of the house. I bagged two of the gifts and wrapped a third, and then I was pretty much finished for the night. I watched A Miracle On 34th Street on AMC one last time before falling asleep to White Christmas.
I don't remember what time I woke up on Christmas. I'm guessing between 8am and 9am. All I know is I was tired lol. Once the kiddos opened their gifts from everyone, I handed mine out. It was slightly less chaotic that way lol. I wound up napping on the couch with my dog, Bella, for a bit after we did presents.
My best friend and her son came over a bit later and we did presents, and my younger sister and her fiance came over shortly after, so we did presents again lol. Another friend stopped by because he had something for the kids. Oh, and I ate too much at dinner so dealing with a stomach ache for a while was fun. It eventually calmed down though, so I was able to answer a few horror movie trivia questions and play Scattergories with everyone. There was a lot of laughing involved lol. Eventually, everyone left and I went to bed.
Yesterday I got back into my writing, which went well. The work was slower today, but I still got in a few orders, and I'll be cashing out in a little while before doing other things. Oh and guess what I did? I caught up on my MyLot notifications. I do have a few from today to answer, but the point is, I'm caught up. :)
Okay, so there is one more post I want to make, and I'm just going to write it after I post this. I just wanted to separate the topics into two different posts. I'll be back in a few minutes lol.

Sounds like a very nice Christmas, minus the stomachache! Glad that it sounds like it went well otherwise!
And that's great that you got caught up on your notifications! That always feels nice to get that done!

@MommyOfEli2013 Right. I need to learn more moderation and less overeating. I'm glad you had a nice Christmas. :)
Yep! I'm also about 40 cents away from reaching payout, so I need to buckle down and hit it by tomorrow night.

@tammys85 I understand, I have done that too over the past few weeks. Moderation is a good idea, even though it seems more fun to eat more of the things you enjoy! Christmas was nice here, thank you :)
That is good that it is doable in that amount of time....I know the notifications can build up!

At my house and my parents house I let the kids all open their presents first then I went last. I want to watch them be excited and see what they are opening and if I am opening mine at the same time it distracts me. Your Christmas sounds fun and good especially the "lot of laughing involved" part

Aw thanks! It wasn't a ton of gifts per say, but I enjoyed, and appreciated, everything I got. Except the stomachache, I don't appreciate that lol. I mean, it was MY OWN fault, but we won't talk about that lol. I hope you enjoyed your Christmas!
I didn't sleep that well, so I was fighting sleep during the main event because of it, oops lol.

@Courtlynn I'm sorry things have changed. :( It sucks when the holidays change; it's changed for us too, mainly since my Daddy passed away.
Oh yeah, definitely a big oops. It'd be nice if I could make 2019 the year I finally fix my sleep schedule. I do want to make it the year I take better care of myself, physically and mentally.
