So our offer for the house was accepted. So that's happening. We'll prob move in early February.

And then tonight I got a box in the mail from Candace's ex-husband, it being a mix of blank notebooks she wanted me to have and some of her own notebooks with her handwriting still in them. I looked at them very briefly, then packed them up again.

I have adulting whiplash.

Wow and wow. And keep me posted, bb!

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!

I texted SIL2 today to start coordinating xmas day food plans. She's like "oh we're not sure we're going to do Christmas." Lady, we literally saw you last week and you told Scott that you'd love to come over for Christmas day. I casually mentioned it to Scott because I was worried he'd be upset--SIL2 blows hot and cold and it usually gets him--though he seemed okay at the moment. So we'll see what happens.

But like, also, my life would be easier if she could confirm and I could...figure out what food to make and therefore buy and plan and so on. ::exhausted sigh::

But why would she make your life easier when she can keep her options open until the last possible oment? AUGH.

I wish I could come to your house for Christmas. I would make clear plans and bring food with me. :)

YOU would probably help me plan the menu and share useful cooking advice and suggestions. ::flail:: I know we have some time, but....I'm stressed and ocd. I just want a GENERAL idea of what people would want to eat?!

Congratulations on your house offer being accepted! And you got it for a cheaper price! Whoo-hoo! As for the notebooks, oh boy. No wonder you have adulting whiplash. That was out of the blue. I think it was best, putting them away for later - whenever that will be. you have enough on your plate right now. I'm thinking of you and all the things ahead for you. When you need to ventilate, we'll all be here to "listen." Hugs!

Aww, thank you so much!!!!!!! <3

I'm relieved that now we know where we'll actually be living. (Not knowing made me ridiculously anxious.) It's one less stressor, kinda, when everything else is insane!!

I feel weirdly guilty for not being able to look more closely at Candy's things, which I do recognize is just me being neurotic and overwhelmed. But there we are! I subscribe to the Washington Post's daily newsletter and today's was a holiday email with recipes for cookies and flavored vodka, and I was basically like "I wish life could just be about cookies and booze for a little while!"
