Cheap Costco box wine and rum

My brother in law has appendicitis, my 'rents have head colds, and I am still suffering from a 6 day sinus infection and COVID head fog from Thanksgiving but otherwise we're peachy

I paid for my entire family to go to see the Grand Canyon for Christmas. 11 of us in total, rented a big house and a van and we were going to drive all together for fifteen hours. Fly down early to spend time with my mom and she gave me Covid. She has been sick for a couple weeks and didn’t take a test.

She is a nurse.

The fact that we aren't allowed to celebrate it in my country. It's seen as unimportant. In fact, we don't ever have Christmas breaks. I saw school buses packed with students heading to class today (and yesterday too), some are even taking exams. Radio stations play absolutely no Christmas music. Nothing in the country is decorated for Christmas. Life goes on as usual as if Christmas doesn't exist.

This video by Gari Sullivan perfectly explains how life is for us. Yes, it's 2 years old already, but I doubt that it's that irrelevant.

Mother-in-law's Adderall addiction and years-neglected mental health issues

Might shake things up enough for some meaningful change to finally happen tho, so 🤷‍♂️
