I'm glad you know now too

Haha, sure thing bud. How has your holiday been, so this doesn't end on a poor note?

Alright, my mother is getting surgery on her mouth right now, so I'm sitting in the waiting room for 3 and a half hours, then I'm driving her home. You?

Ah, hope it all goes well! My experience has been pretty tragic; a friend had to go to the ER for falling down a flight of stairs and rupturing something in their chest. On top of [b][i]that[/i][/b], my boyfriend is out of town for the week - he'll barely be able to make it back for Christmas, so we're talking about him not coming at all. I've always hated Christmas, so this all just puts a lot of extra stress on me.

Yeah, personally I dislike gatherings or events. So yeah, also I hate the act of gift giving because the gifts are never equal so it doesn't feel right.

Exactly! You have a good time, bud - hope the surgery goes well. [spoiler]Much better than ending on a weirdly sour and argumentative note, right? [/spoiler]
