::The Reason...Stupid Klutz...Outlet Mayhem::


I've been having problems getting to sleep, so it being Sunday I decided that because I was up that I would go to 7 AM mass. I like going to church alone, it gives me time to think clearly to myself and get in touch with my religious beliefs. Every year I've been noticing how Christmas is less about Christ and more about selling/buying stuff. I don't want to get all super Jesus freak about it, but it just shows where our society places it's emphasis. Anyway, I get to church and I see some of my grandma's friends. They ask me why I was at church alone, and I told them it was because I didn't want to wake the rest of my family and top that off I have work later in the day. We ended up sitting together, and overall I'd have to say that for some reason today was one of the better days to be in church. My grandma's friends didn't even trip over my piercings, they even joked about getting some of their own. They're the type of Catholics who actually uphold the ideals of tolerance, compassion, and understanding. There were a few people in church who looked at me like I was crazy, but I'm used to that. It happens every week, there's always someone judging me, and you can tell by the glares of distaste. Anyway...I really enjoyed today's service. During the sermon, Father kindly reminded us to keep in mind why we celebrate this time of year. Yes, it's nice to get presents but don't let the material items displace your true sources of happiness that you find in family, friends, and living a good life.

Well after mass, I parted ways with my adopted Lolas and headed home to do some chores. I finished up laundry. Did some dishes. Yadda yadda yadda. It was just some general tidy up stuff. I swear today I was just super clumsy. I dropped a heavy ass laundry basket on my own wrist. I don't even know how that happened. All I knew is that I lost grip then felt pain. Later, I was straightening up stuff for the recycle bin and I hella bumped my knee on the table. It was almost like that funny bone sensation. It felt weird. Then as I was folding laundry in my room I hit my head on one of my shelves. I have a stupid bump there now. I don't know if it's because I've lost sleep or what, I just can't get my body to coordinate with the actions my brain wants me to perform.

So it's about 10 AM, and I decide to go outlet shopping down by the border. Big mistake. It was horrible. Too many damn people. Too many damn cars. Too much damn stress, way more than what I was expecting. I'm just going back on a weekday when shit is a little more calmed down. I almost completely done with my Christmas shopping. That feels good. Anyway, that's all I have. Not too exciting. I hope not too boring either. Eh...whatever.
