Happy Vlogmas Day 16, you guys—today was one of those days where real life just fully takes over. I didn’t even start filming until 5 p.m. because the doctor I work for had a fall at home and fractured her hip. While one of us was with her in the ER (she doesn’t really have family here in Arizona), I stayed back at the office holding down the fort, canceling a full week of appointments and multiple surgeries coming up. It was stressful, people were (understandably) frustrated, and my anxiety was basically floating above my head all day. Once I finally got home, I tried to reset a little—deep breaths, cozy clothes, and yes… I needed a crisp Diet Coke more than anything. I still did my Advent calendar moment (day 16 was a dark chocolate nut chew—so good), opened a couple other little calendar goodies, and then I put together a care package for my doctor before her surgery. I packed snacky things I know she’ll actually want, a notebook, Diet Coke (because same), and one of the super cute Grinch-style cookies to hopefully make her smile. Today wasn’t the most festive, but tomorrow is bringing the fun: festive plans with my friend Jennifer, Christmas movie night, and Christmas pizza.
