Until Christmas! yay!!! I'm super excited, mostly because mi familia will be here! yay!!! But I also have a TON to do before then haha. I can't believe that there are only two weeks left...it doesn't really feel like Christmas time. Well, I guess it's beginning to, but it's just so strange because it's so warm out and it's sunny and so I guess maybe the weather is really affecting my Christmas spirit.
It's been a few days since I last wrote, so I'll update you:
On Thursday, I worked all day. Ran to Target, Goodwill, and Trader Joe's.
 |
| Full moon! View from Goodwill parking lot... |
 |
| These are amazing! |
 |
| Not quite as good... |
 |
| So cute! Chocolates from all over the world! |
 |
| cranberry orange bread...not the best... |
 |
| I made turkey sloppy joes...yuuum! |
On Friday, I worked until 2. The day really flew by because we had a going away party for the classroom aid, Diana because it was her last day. (She's starting nursing school.) So it was a big party! I felt a little awkward because they had invited my client's old therapist. She has worked w/ J( my client) for three years and knows everyone really well. So she came in and they were all saying how they missed her and saying " you should come back!" I mean, it's fine that they miss her, but it was just a little awkward for me because in order for her to come back I would have to leave. lol. So I was feeling kind of like an outsider and after hearing all of that, I just felt super uncomfortable. Plus, she was hanging onto my client and I just kind of felt like she was watching my every move. Kind of uncomfortable! Ah well, it was over quickly I guess.
When D got out of work we delivered a mirror and dresser to his co-worker's house. Martha showed me around the house and it was so gorgeous! She had it decorated for Christmas and it was just amazing! She had like a million beautiful poinsettas on the front porch. Literally a sea of flowers! And it was just so gorgeous! I wish I would have taken a picture! So we ended up staying there for three hours just talking. haha. It was nice though!
Saturday:
D and I watched a lot of "Mythbusters" episodes and then we got busy working on things around the apartment.

| After fixing the towel rod in the bathroom, hanging the curtains in the living room, building the shelves in the kitchen and painting them...D earned a nap on the couch! |
 |
| Making room for the Christmas tree... |
 |
| Time to unpack it! |
 |
| Time for decorations! |

Around 10 pm, D and I decided to go get some dinner. haha
 |
| Yum!!! |
D wanted to go for a drive so we ended up driving about an hour or so south down by Santa Ana. It was fun to just randomly drive around. We didn't get home until after 1 am!
Sunday:
Got a bunch of things accomplished around the house! Was really happy to use the shelves that D built! They gave me soooo much more storage space!!!
Well, that's it folks. I'm off to bed! Nighty night!
