Guys it's 12...
It's 11.43 am, I slept in for the first time in so long and it felt so good.
I actually set my alarm for 8:00 am because my sisters were coming, I told you guys they were coming this weekend.
But Alex messaged me and she's really, really sick.
She got sick last night with a fever.
So, they're all like "Let's just reschedule it for another day."
So I went back to bed.
Oh I needed that... That was so good.
I was editing until 3:00 am...
Oh I think I posted at like 1:32 am so I was up until 3:00 am.
These ones are from my dad and Mariella.
This is Elbow-san's card.

-Hello? -Hi!
-So what are you guys gonna be doing?
I think we're just relaxing today.
I'm trying to make your cinnamon bun but I'm not sur-do I put it in the oven or what?
Well, they're already cooked okay? -Yeah?
-Yeah, you can just warm them up in the microwave just to get them warmed up.
Or you can uh slice them in half and put them in the frying pan with a little bit of butter, just up to you.
Hey? Just to put them in the frying pan, just to warm them up slowly. You know? Then take them out. -Oh, frying pan?
-Yeah.
-Okay. -Yeah.

Good morning and good evening.
It's actually 5:00 p.m right now.
I've had a very slow start to the day like I mentioned, I woke up at 12 pm so...
Yeah but it's been very relaxing,
And now, I need to book it out to a shop before it closes at 6 pm because there's something I wanna buy for a video,
I want to make next week.
And then I want to finish up shopping for Sharla's gift so I can send it out on Monday, her Christmas gift.
And.. yeah, I think those are my two main goals of the day.
As I mentioned, I had completely different plans with my siblings today.
I was really looking forward to that but we're gonna do it another day.
So now today is just...
very chill.
