Every night I rush to my bed with hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you when I close my eyes

I had high aspirations for yesterday. I was going to wake up early, have a shower and get ready for the day. Was going to do my hair for once, and maybe even put on mascara before I went out. Instead I snoozed, slept three more hours than planned, which means I was really bloody late. I went to have more vaccines yesterday, and we spent an hour just cataloguing the ones I should take, and the ones I need to re-take. She told me I should come back several times, and I asked whether I can't take all of them at once, if there's any danger in doing it. She said "well, no, but most people don't like getting a load of shots at once". And well, I had to agree with her reasoning. But at least now I've got all of those sorted. After leaving the hospital, I went to the mall to do some shopping. I couldn't find the presents I was looking for, though I ended up buying new bauballs for the tree, one being the pictured one. And candy canes. I started putting candy canes on the tree a few years ago, and I've just continued the tradition. However, I purposefully waited to put them up, so they wouldn't be available when my nephew(s) were visiting. The oldest one has inherited a fondness of sugary things from his parents, so I knew he'd want to have one. From experience, I know a kid filled with sugar is not a good thing. I finally bought myself a binder as well, so I spent last night organising my important papers into a purple binder. My heart was happy when I was done. Although, walking around the mall, I did spot a lot of coats. And I am a bit pissed at myself for banning myself from buying a new coat this year. I mean- ahhhhhhhhh. It seems like it's going to be a mild Christmas this year, which is a bit sad. I would really love for it to be snow. But it is as it is. I woke up at 9 am today, for the first time in what seems like ages. I've actually done my hair somewhat and put on mascara! I mostly only wear mascara when I go out, or birthday celebrations (sometimes not). I just can't be bothered with it really. So, when I actually want to put on make-up, I do. I'm going to get dressed, well, somewhat. Coz I'm meeting Marble at the mall. Haven't seen her in absolute ages. Plus I need to give her the Christmas present. Gonna wear my Christmas jumper, I think. Out public. Thing is, it's kind of over the top and slightly tacky, some people would say. But I love it. And therefore I won't care.
