My right kidney has been randomly flaring all day. That is
concerning. I'm cool with not having another kidney stone. Totally
cool with that. But just now the flaring kind of turned into a
pulsing. Doesn't seem like the best sign.
This morning I woke up a little after seven o'clock and watched
recording Christmas specials for The Flintstones, The
Jetsons, and The Smurfs. Then I took a little nap before
getting up for real and taking a shower.
My sister and her husband got here sometime after ten o'clock and we
eventually got around to opening presents. We did it down in the
basement because there was more room to spread out, and I brought my
TV out so we could listen to the XM Holly channel. My mom and sister
both really liked the stuff I got them and I really liked the stuff
they got me. One of the coolest things I got was a book embosser
from my sister that says “Library of [my name]” with a book in
the center. I don't believe I had ever mentioned it to anyone but I
have been thinking about getting one of those for years. My grandpa
used one on some of his books and I thought that was pretty cool.
Mine came with several silver stickers that I could use the embosser
on and then put those in my books but I could also use the embosser
directly on a page in the books. Very cool. I like the sticker idea
but I'm going to need several hundred so directly on a page in the
book would be more practical.
We had a small lunch of random things and for me it included homemade
pitas and hummus that my sister made, and homemade apple butter and
biscuits, also from my sister. It was her first attempt at apple
butter and she knocked it out of the park. Way better than the stuff
I get at the store.
I spent the rest of my afternoon watching Christmas movies and
playing Fantasy Life on my 3DS. I have wanted the game since
it came out but I was busy with school stuff so I thought it would
make a good Christmas present. And it did. In the game you start by
picking the life path you want to take (like a wizard, tailor,
mercenary, cook, tailor, etc.) I went with angler because I always
like fishing in video games. It is one of my favorite parts of
Animal Crossing and I spent hours fishing in the small pond in
Ocarina of Time. In the time I spent with Fantasy Life
I didn't make it very far but I did manage to earn a pet and I chose
a cat because I thought that would go well with a fisherman.
Like last year, we made pizzas for dinner. My sister made the dough
for the crust and got all the ingredients together. Also like last
year, I went with fake hamburger, artichoke hearts, tater tots, green
peppers, and a few mushrooms, all on a creamy garlic sauce.
Delicious. We also had deviled eggs that my mom made and garlic knot
rolls that my sister made. I ate way too much because that is what I
do.
After dinner I watched Transporter 2, because I wanted a break
from Christmas movies, and read The Secret Service: Kingsman.
The trailer for the upcoming movie looks really cool so I asked for
the graphic novel for Christmas. I liked it and I am still looking
forward to the movie. When Transporter 2 was over I went back
to Christmas things but now it is one o'clock in the morning so I'm
going to go to bed. I think tomorrow we're going to go back over to
the old house to sort through stuff before I go to work. With the
holiday we should be busy enough for me to work a full shift but who
knows. Time will tell.
