How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Finally done my big 4500 word essay and I feel completely drained. Really felt like I was stretching everything out just to meet the word count. I don't know why my professor wanted such a long essay right before Christmas; 3000 words would've been perfectly adequate. Anyways I guess this means I'm done University provided I pass all my classes (which I'm 99% sure I will). I would celebrate but I think I'm just going to sleep for the next day.

I don't wanna say too much but I will say this day started pretty average hit a bit of bump halfway through, and now it's ended on a disaster.

This close to Christmas and I think I'm gonna be spending it alone...and it's my own fault. That's all I'm gonna say.


Well that and on a lesser note most of middle America is getting snow for a white christmas this year. All I'm getting is rain and cold rain. Not cold enough to snow, not even for christmas.

Last week had last scheduled medical appointment for the year, with the audiologist at the VA. Went well, back next year. At that time probably will order new hearing aids, will have had them four years. Audiologist says they last 3-5 years.

January starts the medical stuff again, have the appointment cards and lab slips.

My wish for 2023, outside hitting the lottery, is to have a year without any major medical issues. 2022 was cancer, 2021 was the spinal stuff. As time goes by that wish may be less likely to become reality but will, as always, keep making an effort. Need to hang around to keep watching the grandkids grow.

Thanks for all the good words and support this year, much appreciated. And may everyone have a great 2023. 👍 👍 👍

Calm down. We've all had days like this.

I hope you have a Jew friend because eating Chinese is perfectly fine. That's a joke but I've done that in reality. Eating Chinese on Christmas is pretty much a Jew meme. I've also had Christmas dinner with bums in a diner on the free Christmas dinner day they had.

There are alternatives to family on that day.

Last week of work for the year and it will most likely feel like a long, drawn-out turd starting tomorrow. I'm headed home for Christmas afterwards on Friday night and staying with my family till New Year's Day. Found out my hometown church might not be holding a night mass, which is really the only thing about Christmas I look forward to anymore between my mom stressing out trying to micromanage everything for the holidays and my siblings inevitably starting shit with each other. At least there will be good food though. Can't pass up ma's baking.

If I post to this thread on Christmas Day, assume it means I'm having a bad one.

My home is cleaner and better organized than usual in preparation for hosting family over Christmas, and my landlord's handyman was recently over and fixed a bunch of stuff so I feel pretty great. Being able to just send an email and have a guy come fix my shit free of charge within a day or two is amazing.

I'm retarded. I'm actually arguing about vax shit despite not even caring about it. Is it fun? Not really. But whatever. I still shouldn't do it. I have stopped buying soda and am now buying zero calorie seltzer instead.

I recommend a home carbonation machine and bottle of concentrated lemon juice. Just a teaspoon or two in some sparkling water is great.

I'd just use actual lemon juice because that stuff in bottles tastes like Satan's piss.

I feel like I'm missing out on celebrating Christmas a tad since work is keeping me busy. That said, I suppose it's better to keep a roof over your head than to worry about watching Elf for the 50th time.

I'm older and I decided to fall off a moving skateboard a week ago. Still in pain and work manual labor. Thank God for Motrin. Don't think I tore a ligament.

On the Plus side, I've had to be dry while taking the meds.

Oh, that and Christmas will probably be cold and lonely. I'll find little ways to enjoy it and text my Family and friends.

Wrapped the outside pipes here and put all my potted herbs inside in preparation for the Christmas freeze. My chickens survived last year just fine so while I'm a worrying bird mom I know they'll get by again. I'm really not looking forward to temps in the teens.

I also have constant brushes with having a mental breakdown trying to make a dent in this clutterfuck of a house. I just don't like it here but it's cheaper than anything else.
I grew up in a serious packrat nest, and when I moved out to another place I thought it'd be okay since the relative that owns the house stays in her room all day and I can have free reign to clean it. But theyre also a packrat, NO ONE here besides me lifts a finger to clean anything besides me. They let the trash pile up in the trashcan and never think "oh, why don't I just take the bag out and walk 5 feet out the door to put it in the bin." Hell, no one even cooks or anything. I do because it's part of being a grown ass adult but they just assume I'll be the personal chef and provide every day. There's aesthetic and minor structural issues here and there. And I feel like I can't actually get rid of anything because either no ones gives a shit to just look at it and say yea/nea, or the person wants to keep a cabinet of kitschy decorative stuff they haven't looked at let alone touched in probably a decade. The side and back yards have junk that was tossed outside long ago and it looks trashy af. I kind of just gave up on trying to make it better since I don't want to be here longer than I have to.
Honestly my biggest dream is just to have a house of my own I have full control over and keep it clean, maintained and cozy and no one can mess it up. Doesn't need to be big or fancy. As soon as I could possibly afford to move out I will in a heartbeat.

Shit, I should bring in my soon-to-bonsai Burr Oaks.
 
I'm off for 2 weeks paid. Christmas shopping is done. Gumbo made with homemade crawfish stock is simmering. I'm drunk. About to watch a great old school pro wrestling PPV with friends. Not even the Jews-on-the-brain cocksuckers on this site can kill this good mood.
