Also; found another one I think I'll take instead. It's taller but more evenly shaped so yeah, it's better, innit? Just need to cut it in the proper length and it'll be Rocu's Christmas tree number 19!

Our cat is too fat to climb the tree

Nice.
I just want a tree. And surprises under it
I got some things for Mikael that are coming, but he knows what one is. He's looking at something I mentioned, but I want something wrapped under the dang tree to open. I miss opening wrapped gifts.

We're low on presents since many years but a little something is fun. Like last year when I got a Thermos branded thermos.
Of course he has to give you something. I suggest gold bullion

Lol.
I'm just like sighs. I miss wrapped gifts. Last year I got small stuff from his mom... in a plastic bag....
I go out of my way to wrap EVERYTHING.

This reminds me I need to start thinking on a present for my bro. I can't splurge this year on a for-me expensive give. Too many necessary mundane expenses, I'm afraid. Can't even get him a Barnes & Noble gift card (which he'd definitely use) as in years past, since we lost it in this spring's major tornado. Which leaves me stumped. I suppose I could order him a book or two off Amazon. But his reading tastes differ from mine. I don't know that I can pick something he's for sure like and want to read. Oh well, maybe something will come to me.
Just treat him to your local eatery, Decrepit. Unless they don't accept cash; then boycott them 
I have no idea what to get me and I've been asked four times by MIL and three from husbeast.
><
Got him all sorted out though.

Ask for one B2 pencil and a paperclip. Just to mess with them
lol
Found a third tree today I'll probably go for.
How many trees you cutting?
We ordered a small one from clas ohlson. Gonna buy some ornaments to hand in the windows. I need more paper. Ugh.

Just one but I've prospected three at this point.
Dat some nice looking gifts!
I wish I could wrap as neatly as my mother. Hers were immaculate.
Put on some sunglasses and rap
Lol.
I'm Dreamcatching.
I'm watching a video by an Angry Foreigner.
Yeah, watched a bit but it didn't draw me in.
Now I'm Deus Exing!

He literally went through the steps to get mental health care here. Got the run around a few times. Long story short, never need a psych here. It's terrible..
Yeah, but this borders to PM material, I think..
Anyway; work tomorrow!

That's why I Did, bird! Lol.

Well, that's cleared everything up, then
Yes; I just quoted Ashen
Also, did I mention YooA is THE QUEEN OF DANCING??
Haha. No, I need paper and ball ornaments. Preferably plastic. We're gonna hang some in the windows.
Sounds festive. You gonna go all out?
In the kitchen at least. Balls in the windows, our paper star.. the tree.
I'm doing my things next weekend, including the tree. Unless Tegnell has banned Christmas trees this year...
Tegnell, ban trees? Why?
I mean he's already taking the fun out of the holiday.

Who knows for what reason? I'm sure he can come up with something, don't you?
Haha yeah.
Sleep now. Zzz Zzz....

So, when bird mentioned a while ago he was getting new glasses and told me the cost, and I doubted him, I just got the quote on mine.
All I can say is "holy crap". I've never paid more than 100 bucks for a pair of glasses in my life. These are gonna run me almost a grand for the first pair, and I need to get another set of frames before I can get quoted for the second.
Le sigh.

Who is this Tegnell, and why/how is he making like the Grinch?
Tegnell, he's the chief epidemiologist for Sweden. He's in charge of our Covid response. He's quite limited in what he can mandate, but makes a lot of recommendations that a lot of people ignore.
Except my in laws.. they cancelled Christmas.

Oh bummer!
Yeah. So we're doing ours ourselves. I bought gifts, we got a tree, gonna decorate the house. Screw it.
Oh and the best part of my new glasses? Gonna take at minimum 5 weeks for the first pair. I MIGHT have both before my birthday.

Smaller is better anyway. My GF was going to host a Thanksgiving part for just our friends on Saturday. Bonfire, drinks, the works. Ended up canceling it because of Covid exposures, so she and I ended up setting up a table outside and making a smaller fire and having a nice fireside dinner that night!

Yeah, things are spensive here. 100 bucks is like 1000 SEK and I have NEVER paid so little for glasses!

That's the spirit! Think like a 6-year-old; if told not to do it at all, OVERDO IT!

Sounds cozy!
I've always had insurance that covers it. The only part that wasn't covered, were my lenses, and the lenses cost under 100 bucks.
and 100 bucks is roughly 864 kronor. Which is why I'm complaining about lens prices. I was told by some friends to see if they're cheaper online, or see if I can't get the prescription made in the US. o.o

Can't you do them yourself? 
That'd make it too easy.

It's in the middle of nowhere.

Impossible. Our cottage is in the middle of nowhere according to the guy who bought my excavator so your dad's cabin can't be there. Simple
Nice place! But it's bigger than our place so... is a cabin bigger than a cottage? Or have I called our place the wrong thing all this time?

They are both a term for a small house.
