Hanukkah party tonight. Mother got me, twin, and my husband a gift. I know me and twins but unsure about husband's. He was ready to not get a gift (mother really dislikes him) and gave her an out with he thought the gift she got me was for both of us cause it's so helpful for me (it will be)
But she got something.
I feel okay so dear fuck do I hope that sticks until and through the party. Mother knows I'm going through medical shit hell though so if I have to leave (all three of us would though) she might not be that mad.
I'm broke. My gift to her to candied jalapeños and apple butter for her husband. I'll also give her the first items made in the pressure canner.
Homemade gifts are honestly the best. I will most likely use Christmas as an excuse to bake a bunch of bread for people.
Well, mother will like the homemade gift! Her husband is weird. I'll have no idea what he thinks until mother calls later annoyed at...whatever I did at the party that I won't understand til later. Cause no one corrects problems as they come up, I'm suppose to be a mindreader!
I dread parties.
OH GOODBYE POWER
