I’m getting more annoyed with these each day. I mean, I’m not mad at them or anything, and I’m going to keep attempting it, but I don’t feel like “December Journaling If You Feel Like You Haven’t Achieved Much This Year” is really giving me amazing insights. Then again, I’m not going to make up a calendar like this for others people to work through, so I shouldn’t be complaining.

The people you’ve spent the most time with this year and what you did.

My family. The end. Ha ha.

No, but, that’s who it is. It interests me that I’m sure the person who wrote out these questions didn’t expect for all the answers to basically revolve around family. It makes me curious as to who that person is and what their life is like.

I spent most of my time with my family. Mostly Ben, Mom, Sarah (in the house peeps), then Belinda (home most weekends and I wish it was more but I know she can’t realistically do that), then Bennett, Mia, Lenora, Ben R, then Karlene, then Krislyn, then Gary and Kevin. I actually probably see Karlene the same or more than my married children. It probably varies.

Outside of the family I’d say it would be my church family, and then…I don’t know. Used to be the SCBWI group, but I don’t get to those things as much as I used to. I do go up to the school and see them somewhat frequently.

But as far as what we did, we just did what families do when they are together. We watch movies, we eat food, we play games like trivial pursuit and bananagrams. We played Bible trivia the last time we did that and it was fun.

The person I spend the most time with is Mom and she is driving me crazy. I bought her a cozy mock turtleneck dickey and first she said it was great, and then she said she was too hot and that she was frightened and was very upset. So I took it off and left her with only a regular mock turtleneck dickey and now she is way too cold and keeps coming back and asking me for the other one, and I’m not going to do it because it will make her too hot again. I gave her a throw to cover up with while she watches TV. It’s hard for me when she interrupts me when I’m working on something and focusing, but it’s even worse when it the same thing back and forth.

I’m looking forward to being with Belinda in the hospital and having a break from being here, honestly.

Anyway, that’s what we do.
