Did anyone else notice that the Grinch (the cartoon, not the movie) was on TBS last night? I love that cartoon a lot, and I watched most of it, but it's just way too early! I know, Christmas is only six weeks from today (gulp), but I'm in denial about that. I'm broke, and I have no idea how I'm going to get all of my Christmas shopping done, so I'm trying to make believe that it's still months and months away. Sigh. I really hate being broke all the time. Hate. Loath. Ugh.
That being said, I somehow managed to have $35 left after I pay bills this month, so I went online to buy myself The Sims 2 Teen Style Stuff, and I only needed to spend $9 more to get free shipping, so I bought J a Christmas present. So J, when you read this? If I haven't told you already, I'm telling you now - don't look at your wish list. :) Thanks.
What I got him isn't much, but it's something he'll like, and at least I have something bought for someone for Christmas. Because no matter how much I wish it wasn't, time is speeding by, and that holiday will be here before I know it.

So. Last night I was scooping cat litter, and I wrenched my wrist enough to aggravate my carpal tunnel (or whatever I have in my wrist - I have never been to a doctor to have it diagnosed). I know from past experience that the way to get it to feel better is to keep it straight as much as possible, and to have it supported when I'm on the computer, both on the mouse and the keyboard. So I'm doing those things, and it's already feeling better, but it just doesn't seem right to injure myself scooping cat litter, of all things. I'd much rather be doing something fun, like playing the Sims or crocheting or, I don't know, attempting to do yoga or something. Oh well.

And now I'm off to clock watch while I wait for it to be time to go home. I'm not going to my sister's house for dinner tonight, like I usually do on Mondays, so I guess I'll have cereal for dinner, or something. So here's the question - Frosted Flakes or Corn Pops? Oh, the agony of deciding. :) Talk to you tomorrow!

Frosted Flakes for sure.
Also, ask your doctor next time you go about getting a wrist brace thingy. My mommy has one for her carpal tunnel, and apparently it helps. Even if you only use it while you're sleeping.
PS Christmas is awesome, and I'm ready for people to start lighting their houses all pretty. Not me, though. I'm too lazy.
Hi Sarah!
I got a brace, but when I put it on last night, it made my wrist hurt more. And it's really hard to use a mouse or to type with it on. Sigh.
And lights, sure. But gifts? No. Not ready! :)
Denise, if it's ok with you I think I'm going to tell the hubby that I hurt my wrist scooping the litter and that unfortunatly he'll have to take care of the litter buisness until it's healed. :)
Seriously though, I hope you get better soon!
Hi Cathy!
Go ahead and use that excuse! I won't mind. :) My wrist is feeling much better already, though, thanks. It usually does feel better within a day or so.
Definitely corn pops! Can't wait to see you guys over the holidays! Even if gifts aren't under the tree thre is still your sister's Christmas meal and lots of yummy desserts!
Hi Michelle!
I'm actually looking forward to Christmas itself - it's just the gift giving thing that is stressing me! :) But I look forward to seeing you guys. I think Sammy grows too much between the times I get to see him.
