I can’t believe it’s already the New Year! I feel this year went really fast.

For a week Jeff and I have the flu. So, trying to get over that. Last week was Christmas, we went to Chrissy’s house and Chrissy got me gifts that do not make sense to me. I got ugly mugs and not even the right size, they are small, cooking utensils that are Christmas themes, don’t cook and slippers that do not fit even though I told her my size. I know it’s the thought that counts however it also shows how little she knows me. Kim and Corey actually gave us a gift, Kwik Trip gift card. Whooo free gas! We got gifts for everyone and everyone liked their gifts even Chrissy because I know what she likes. The reason I know because she told me many times even over chats. I keep telling people gift giving is my love language.

We did the giving tree not the famous Angel tree. The giving tree is a local tree for our community and it was fun to go for shopping for other people and give back.

This year I found out I can’t have a sleep apnea machine because I am allergic to the mask. I am still getting billed for it.

I got a big tattoo and it was the first tattoo that actually hurt really bad after the fact. Worth it. I am getting another tattoo on my birthday next year.

We redid our Kitchen and built a porch. What will we do next year?

I built up my YouTube I went from 5 subs to over 500 subs. I will continue doing YouTube, I even got some hate comments and survived because I am sensitive but trying to become tougher. I had to delete some comments because they were very hateful though. There are certain things I won’t allow on my channel.

I decided to distance myself from Adam. I don’t want him in my life at this point. He is a hateful and narcissistic person I don’t need in my life. Will he be back in my life, I do not know.

I started taking tirzepatide to lose weight. So, far so good. I lost 7 pounds but I feel better mentally. I lost some inches around myself.

On to 2026!

OMG! This tattoo is unlike any tattoo before it! I found my breaking point of being tattoo. He kept saying almost done, almost done, I just have this little bit. I was shivering which I wasn’t cold, I was at my breaking point.

The pain! The pain is bad! I was crying on Thursday, how bad it hurt in the morning. I am sure I accidentally slept on it at one point. The pain is crazy!

The sign was the worst! All those orange circles hurt sooooooooo badly!!

Why is my family like this? I am totally a person who is organized when it comes to dates. Whether it’s a doctor’s appointment or family get togethers. I should have told my sister that wasn’t doing Christmas this year and stuck to it because the outcome is what I expected. A total clusterfuck is what has happened! I knew it!

I said yes and I regret it. To the time, to not giving gifts to giving gifts, it’s too much! I get so annoyed with the whole thing. So, finally I am like you know what I am going to do what I want. Everyone gets gifts, I don’t care if you got me nothing. That’s how it is.

Another thing is the time. I don’t want to be there for very long and play stupid games. My sis always wants to play the most stupidest games because they have to be kid friendly too. I see you, we eat, presents, talk then I am going home. That’s it. The most annoyed I got is when I wanted to do this at noon because it’s the perfect time to eat, because most people eat at that time. She said her kids don’t get up till noon. I am like really??? She definitely does the gentle parenting thing and it’s so annoying. I wasn’t raised that way. You get up, people are coming over otherwise you are grounded. Also, like Jeff said “Not my problem”. Funny! So, we had to go back and forth for the stupid time. Finally got it.

I rather just spend Christmas with Jeff and Tex. Now I know for next year.
