I woke up early today so decided to get out and do my returns and a little extra shopping. Returned $55 at Walmart and ended up spending $85. Then, I waited in the Toys R Us parking lot until they opened and returned $22 and spent $45 (for DD1's bday tomorrow).
Glad I got that out of the way though. Now I'm doing laundry and binge watching all 6 Star Wars movies so I can take DDs to the 7th and actually know what's going on.
I woke up feeling super congested and my fb is covered in storm damage pictures from the tornados that hit in Dallas. 22 dead, so sad, luckily everyone I know is safe, but a few had damage.
I am going to make a grocery store run and watch football and Harry Potter all day.
Got up, made some breakfast and now I'm just hanging out watching tv. We're going grocery shopping in a bit so I'm trying to figure out what to make for NYE/NYD. I'm working NYE so maybe I'll just bring home takeout. It doesn't even feel like it was a long weekend! Boo hoo, it's already sunday.
I've got the whole week off. I'm tackling the Joy of Tidying book. I think it will set 2016 in motion to be my best year ever! I'm feeling so hopeful. I'm gonna go to the restaurant where my friend works and have my favorite salad and a glass of wine for lunch while I finish reading the book.

Last night a friend of my brother's died...he was only in his early 20s. The rumors are that he accidentally overdosed by mixing pills and alcohol. My brother spent all night at the hospital until his friend passed away. Such a sad, avoidable loss. My brother and his friends are into heavy drugs/alcohol, so I hope if any good can come from this, it's that this is their wake up call that the shit they partake in can have serious consequences.
I got a partial run in this morning and then my mom and I went to see Joy. It was pretty good. My parents and I are going out to dinner tonight. There hasn't been a ton of divorce talk, which I've appreciated. But I'm definitely out of shock mode and into sad mode. Toooooo much crying! I hope it doesn't last much longer because it's kind of annoying.

Started my pet sitting gig today. Going to see Star Wars tonight with my parents; its their first time and it will be my third.

Mom got my a DSLR for christmas and I cant wait to play with it! Its got a telephoto lenses so I'm gonna try to get some airplane pics as they land at SAN

@pdx18 I love your optimism! It's gonna be a great year for you! glitzyglow I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope the silver lining will be a wake up call for your brother. My area has been hit so hard by addiction and it's so troubling.
I've had the laziest weekend and I love it. Yesterday I only got out of my jammies to shower, then they went back on. Today I left my house to teach my class then a meeting with the owner of the studio. After a shower it was back in jammies! Then my DD took a 2 hour nap and I did too. I used to feel like I wasted my weekends if I did that, but I've been so incredibly busy lately that I never get a chance to relax like that.

Thank you for the concern. It means a lot.
I rolled my ankle about an hour after I posted. I am worried I really hurt it based in the tremendous amount of pain I'm in. I can hardly walk. I'm icing it right now and have it elevated. Please please please ankle, just be sore and not sprained or broken!
