journal entry #1886

Last minute grocery shopping and heading to market to buy the other ingredients needed for tomorrow's Noche Buena and also for the ordered food to be prepared today. And yes, there's a lot of them. Should I complain about it being annoying? Yes, I should and I will. But I'm doing that here. This place is pretty much the safer option for me to rant and complain about a lot of things.

Lots of work to do, and I just wanted to sleep, to be honest. Even my youngest sister did her last minute shopping today for the Christmas gifts that she would be giving out by tomorrow. I couldn't do the same this year because I couldn't give myself some time to even go to SM where I can use the gift cards that I got from my father. Going there is already too much of a hassle, to be honest. And when you're tired most of the time, then don't expect any window shopping or even actual shopping to be done at all. The errands are the priority at this point of the year, as much as it sucks. 😕

I still managed to do some line adding to the remaining notebooks. But I'm still not done, as annoying as that sounds. I couldn't give it enough attention, you know. Same goes to writing. 😞

I can only write this much and I'm sorry. I just want to sleep. It'll get really busy tomorrow. So I should be sleeping already.

But before that, I nearly forgot to write about that one client that backed out on the last minute. He was originally planning to comtinue the order, but on a credit basis. Mama didn't like it. And then he said that he would cancel the order altogether. Mama was frustrated about it because the expenses that she had for the ingredients that were supposed to be used was wasted, for the lack of a better word. She was crying about it. And so I just decided to give my own money to compensate for that. I hope that would appease the frustration for a little — or even a lot.
