Happy Merry Whatever Mental Health Check-in How is Everyone? [View all]

We had an actual little Christmas here! My son and GF and their almost 2 year old are staying with me till they get a place. So we had a real kids oriented holiday (and I got to give my son stuff for funsies)
Not a lot of "stuff" just the little things that make it fun, like Rick & Morty socks and his fave candy cane... and the "baby" got all kind of new toys so she will be having a ball for a while
Got the gf and son both some nice bath stuff for stress, since they will be living in a REAL apartment with a tub and not in an rank-ass rv...

We made blusberry muffins for brekky, and I am gonna make latkes and chinese food for dinner as a nod to the Jewish side of the family

Otherwise I would have had CMas alone. So thhis feels so sweet and I have my little Yule log and candles set up in my bedroom ...so I am doing my own wishes as well.
I'm dipping into the savings pretty heavy to get him a cheap car and help them with deposit, etc...so I am working on generating more INCOME this year. Despite the world ending, I'm gonna keep going to school and working my magic as best I can. LOVE is the real meaning behind all our actions...the rest of the world can handle itself. We're making our lives work! My son got a new job (with Amazon )but Reno is a good "hub" city so he has a chance of stability.
All our plans are for the next 6 months, we can't know much more after that.

Hugs to you all. Thank you for being her for me as we all tread these uncertain times
