Journal Entry – Mon Dec 21

I always get nervous leading up to the holidays – like something unexpected is going to drop into my work lap and I won’t have enough time to complete it! (Calm down Sam! Your laptop is only a heartbeat away!)

Christmas dinner? Planned and shopped! I skipped Instacart – no offence to Instacart shoppers – I kinda just wanted to get out the house. André came with me, but after an hour, he was dying to go home – Said there were too many people in the grocery store, which made him feel sick. The other stops I made, he stayed in the car.

I decided to drop the sticky toffee pudding because I have to buy too much and I already have that stuff at home – postponed to the new year.
