what I did

I am a day late on this weekend wrap-up, but this is still a work in progress as I keep forgetting to keep track of my week. And then posting it. I really do like doing this though because it helps me keep up with what has happened during my week or else I would completely forget – which is why I have to write it down each day as I go. Here’s how my week has been:

I usually have 2 days off, but I ended up having to work one of them – which is fine because I had missed a day last week due to vacation anyway.
Update: I have no days off this week. On Wednesday, I was needed to come in to help close early. Where I live, a great storm was brewing in Tennessee. And by great storm, I mean nothing actually happened that we should have closed down for.
Because of the possible storm, I stayed at my Pa’s house because his house is more sturdy. I honestly loved staying the night there. I’ve missed it. I might start doing that again – especially during the summer because I’ll be working on the farm. When I got up, he made me and him some coffee, and he even made me bread and chocolate gravy before I went to work.
On Friday, work was super busy during lunch. From 10 am to about 10:45 I had to do something in the back so my coworker had to get the people that came in (discloser: I work in a little restaurant.) I came back out and in 10 minutes everyone decided to come in and eat at once. I remember having to get 5 tables at once.
On Saturday, a couple of my friends got manic (their words not mine) and bought me a switch so I could play animal crossing with them. I don’t like that they bought me one because it is not cheap, but I have been playing a lot of animal crossing these past 2 days. I love it. I didn’t think I would ever get a switch, but I am glad I have one now.
One thing about them doing that for me is that I know they don’t expect anything back, but I feel as though I need to get them something to repay them. Although they are both stubborn and might not take it. Instead I am going to do my usual reproach to gifts and get them a little gift every once in a while that they would like. In their cases, it would be coffee and Mountain Dew.

My December started out with my Spotify wrap. Apparently parents by YUNGBLUD was my top song of the year, which is honestly a mood. I thought that my Spotify wrap was pretty accurate, although I became obsessed with some songs in November and December that were not on my top 100 and they probably should have been.

I AM WOMAN by Emmy Meli has probably been my favorite powerful song here lately. This is the first song I put on when I have a singing/dance session. It definitely helps lift my spirits when I feel down.

I have gotten into the routine where I go to this coffee shop at least once a week to try and get a start on some work that I want to do. I think the employees expect me now actually. My favorite thing I drank this month (and am drinking in the picture) was a Christmas cookie latte – hot.

Anyway, this is my favorite spot to come to. I come in and either caught up on some social media stuff, or try to write for my book. Sometimes I will even just journal too.

My friend, Tawnie, and I ended up going to eat Mexican at our favorite place where I ordered a strawberry margarita. A strawberry margarita which had very few strawberries and a whole lot of tequila. Not going to lie, I got pretty tipsy, and I did not even finish my drink. It was a super fun night though. We took a couple pictures like the one above. We then went to this house that had those Christmas lights where you turn your radio station to a certain one and it plays in tune with the lights. That was pretty cool.

My babies have been super cuddly. It is rare for me to not have one in my lap unless I just don’t let them.

Khole and I spent quite a bit of time at my Pa’s house. Khole loves to go up there, and I think my Pa loves it too.

Yes, I took a picture with Santa. Regrets? None. He was actually a pretty funny dude.

This drink is called a patio punch, and these are dangerous. These have three different kinds of alcohol in them and you can’t taste a single one. They are super good though. This night I went to see a friend play some live music at this pizza bar. It was a really good night.
