We had guests that arrived on Monday. My mum's classmate and her mother. They are kind of wealthy so they bestowed upon us many gifts. No matter what friend group I was ever in, I was always the brokest until maybe uni when we were all broke together. Good times. Anyway, it was nice except when my mum's friend got really drunk and started hugging me and telling me about some stuff we did when I was a small child. Wish I remembered any of it but I was only 5 or 6 at the time. Also went to the dentist on the account of that I have a bleeding gum. Doc said it's all fine, just irritated and there's some medicine I should take. All free in France because I have a residency here now and because I'm currently unemployed. This info will be relevant for what happens later in the week.
We had a very nice view of the Christmas lights we set up on our balcony.

Went out to what was a supposed garage sale but there was nothing there. I guess on the account of it raining non-stop for days. However, I did see this camper with some cute Tintin decals though.

I also made cinnamon buns with cream cheese frosting. As usual they look horrific but taste good. One day I will make them round, I swear.

I have a cabinet full of drawers me and my mum renovated and it's been pretty fucking great. Space is finally a bit more organized. It's also in the incredibly rich green I like.

On Tuesday I woke up super late because I slept very poorly. Monique took everyone to the forest to look for mushrooms, they came back real happy with baskets full of them. I feel a little drained from all the socializing. It was pretty funny to watch my brother lecture this poor 78 year old woman on the benefits of socialism. I think she agreed with him but let him keep the momentum.
Time feels like its flying. Oh, to be a kid again, when hours passed like days. Mum's friends decided to go on a day trip to Paris. Crazy and price-y. They can afford it though and decided to take my mum. She didn't want to go but they were paying so I told her she might as well. I cooked some burgers because my brother and sister eat like they are from Ohio or something. Also decided to watch Generator Rex, a cartoon I never finished when I was a kid.
The next day everyone came back pretty late. I also finally published my website! After all this time! It was pretty exciting and it was super nice to read the nice comments from people who visited it. As usual, Neocities struggled to update it for a bit but it was fine in the end. The trick is uploading the CSS files first. Also found where to get anime and movies onto my PSP so I can lazily watch Eureka Seven before bed.
On Friday I read the news about the CEO killer. I watched Hasanabi cover some of that story too. I'm pretty lucky to live in France as a resident. I get everything for free right now and when I start working, 70% of all medical fees will always be covered by the government. The rest is either covered by my job and me or some other coverage depending on my income. Even before that, when I lived in China, I remember that when I broke my hand, we paid somewhere around 200 RMB for a doctor's visit, an x-ray, and a cast. That's like 27 USD. I'm saying I've personally never been fucked over too bad. Just lucky. Still, grandma has had bad care almost always back where we're from. So I get it. It's so insane, that a question or life and death hinges on money. So, yeah. I often find that when these big shots, or even politicians and other greedy bastards, die, it's kind of like a preventative measure. When Trump or Biden or Bezos or Putin or Netanyahu dies... it's like you're not killing a person, but you're getting rid of a hazard. It's a mechanical solution. When people are responsible for so many atrocities and deaths, it's like they're not human themselves anymore. They don't receive the same pacifism, condolences, and sympathy. Behind them are thousands, if not millions, dead. Sorry. No prayers, no empathy.
So, then it was Saturday. Mo got mad that we watched Unaccompanied Minors without him so we'll be re-watching that. I began writing some new year's 'resolutions'. They're more like goals that I just want to move towards. Enough slacker stuff. When I finally start working I'm not gonna have time for my creative goals so now's the time I really should not be wasting.
Sunday was raining hard. Everything's closed so we stayed home. Was playing some more Titanfall 2 again. Finished some pixel dolls. It's going well. That's about it. We're only 3 weeks away from the new year. How crazy is that?
