What did you do today?

[Sarada]

I had volunteered several months ago to be on the team to help clean up around our college campus today and I instantly regretted it when I had to wake up early this morning and drag myself out in the cold to do it. I'm just glad to be back in my apartment where I can stay warm the rest of the day.

Finished up my Christmas shopping today. I usually do most of mine online but there was a few things I needed to go into the store to get and I got it out of the way today. Now to wrap them all which will take me until Christmas eve night

I had a doctors visit this morning, which I found out things are healing exactly as they are supposed to do. Still can't find out if the surgery was successful or not until my next visit, but he seems hopeful that it was. 

Played RS today and started a GFX piece. Usually I have to finish a GFX work all at once and I don't like leaving it and coming back to it but that's what I had to do today. Mostly because I wanted to get back to watching the show "From" That @Sasuke and I are stream watching together on Discord lol

That all sounds like good news and very encouraging. Here's hoping that the surgery was a success.

Taking it easy and being lazy on this Sunday. Watching TV and playing some games mostly. I also helped to set up the Christmas tree but it hasn't been decorated yet. Only the tree is together and the tree skirt around it. We also put up some Christmas decorations on the windows and balcony with some Christmas lights and window stickers. I had to go down to our storage unit and bring up the boxes with Christmas decorations so we can start getting the rest set up this week.

Thanks <33 I'm hoping the same thing.

Today I helped put up some of the Christmas tree like Pessi mentioned. This week I guess will be organizing the Christmas decorations to start putting them up after Thanksgiving on Thursday. I played a little RS today and I got a GFX request from someone that I haven't decided if I will or won't do it yet. I may have time over the Thanksgiving break though to do it. Also on Season 2 now of "From" with Sasuke, and season 1 basically left me with even more questions than answers

I went out and did the shopping I couldn't do last Friday and Saturday because the weather was so horrible, I also refilled the bird feeders again, I have a ravenous squadron of sparrows visiting my garden every day.  It's good fun watching them squabbling over whose turn it is at the feeder

I love watching birds lol I use to have some Cardinals that would visit my balcony before I moved and they were so pretty ~

Today I had classes, I need to stop staying up watching this TV show because I was falling asleep in them today x.x At one point I think I actually dozed off. Tonight I'm going to go to bed at my normal time. I also made some GFX for someone who made a request, though I don't like the way it turned out at all. I just hope they like it. I never do well at requests though it doesn't seem like I have any inspiration for them so I rarely take them for that reason. 

Completely random but I found the most amazing foundation today that makes my skin look completely flawless, covers any little redness or dark circles (from staying up too late ;_;) in one little swoop using very little of it and I'm insanely impressed and happy lol

I went out this morning to get a bit more shopping. Someone mentioned blueberry muffins recently which reminded me that I like those so I put some on my list. So I now have a box of 4 to enjoy with my lunchtime cup of tea .  (not all at once I hasten to add)

As the weather was quite pleasant this afternoon I went out and did a bit of gardening.

[Zeref]

It was cold but still a nice blue day out so I went out for lunch at Smashburger down the street and a little exercise at the gym for my lunch. I had to dig out some more boxes today because according to Sakura we are missing Christmas decorations that haven't been located. Now we have to go out and buy more Christmas decorations to replace the missing Christmas decorations this weekend when I thought I was all done with Christmas shopping -.-

WOW! They are really fantastic photos.

There's a strange thing about Christmas decorations. You carefully pack them away on 12th night, but when you come to get them out again on Advent 1 half of them have disappeared, but no one seems to know why this happens. Some say that garden centres* are using a sort of dimensional vortex to suck them up so that you'll have to buy new ones each year.

* I don't know how it is in other countries but in the UK garden centres always have a huge display of Christmas decorations each year.

Thanks ~ I think this one was one of the prettiest sunsets we've had in awhile. 

Sounds about right  I don't know where the heck ours went because I know we had way more, so I guess it's off to buy some more. Our garden centers over here get transformed into Christmas sections as well at places like Walmart (ASDA in the UK) 

[Zeref]

I had to assemble some sort of purple flower tree @Sakura had bought and I was the lucky person to put it together  I have taken tomorrow and Friday off from work for the Thanksgiving holiday and I planning to stay up tonight to catch back up on some of my games. 

[Animedragon]

I've done pretty much nothing today apart from catching up on some indoor stuff, it's too cold to go out anywhere.

[Ohayotaku]

Put up some outdoor Christmas decorations this morning since it’s supposed to be MUCH colder tomorrow & last until at least late next week. Will be at my sister’s for Thanksgiving this afternoon. Hope everyone here has a good day 

[Sarada]

Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S. I went to my moms house for a Thanksgiving brunch or lunch and now I'm at home for a couple of hours before I go to my dad's house for Thanksgiving dinner. 

[Zeref]

We had a Friendsgiving in our apartment community where on our sky club deck there was a lot of dishes for free and entry was only bringing a dish yourself. It was fun to sit up there and share food with neighbors and a good way to get to know other neighbors we didn't met yet as well as see neighbors we do already know. I really like the apartment community we live in because everyone is very friendly. The apartment managers had set up a lot of tables with fancy dishes and decorations to make the area festive. Having Thanksgiving looking out over the city from up 32 floors was a nice experience and atmosphere. This was also my first time celebrating that in the US.

This is pretty much the exact same thing I did since we went together lol ~ I also talked to @Forlorn on the phone for a bit & decorated some things while listening to Christmas music.

Went to do a little of this Black Friday shopping today with @Sakura we didn't really buy very much since our Christmas shopping was done already but did find some clothes for ourselves that was cheaper today. Did grocery shopping too and a few other things. It felt like it was a very busy day with a lot of running around and now I'm glad to get home and sit down.

I usually don't go out on Black Friday for shopping but it was kinda fun. Grocery shopping on Black Friday is the best time to go get groceries too because the food stores are soooo empty lol 

[Zeref]

Stayed inside mostly all day because it's been too cold to go anywhere. We watched a movie earlier and ordered lunch in. Glad we got all of our grocery shopping done yesterday because snow is going to cover things later. 

[Sakura]

It is really cold here, that wind is bad bad, so I didn't do much either. The few times I've been out on the balcony to see the snow it felt like lil knives cutting me it was so chilly @.@ I played OSRS and finally got my 98 woodcutting, finished watching the last episode of the TV show I've been watching with Orion called "From, and started working on some Christmas signatures. It was a good day to stay inside and work on projects by the window watching the snow fall ^^

[Kirika_Madeleine]

Big fat rest whole week because I'm sick but I'm okay now.

[Sasuke]

I've been in bed most of the day watching anime and being considerably lazy. I plan to return to my bed and anime watching activities after getting back off the computer in a few minutes.
