I was feeling festive. My red dress ready to wear tonight.

Last night I found out that my package of gifts, which UPS says it delivered, isn’t at my parents house. I’m so upset and disappointed. I worked so hard to find a way to send presents, and now they’re missing. I’m hoping it can be straightened out, but I’m thinking it probably won’t happen today.

I know they’re just things, but I scrimped and scraped to make those things happen. If those presents are gone, that’s my money down the drain.

I’m gonna focus on the good things. Like the webcam tomorrow morning.

I’m trying not to stress, or be homesick, or be upset.

But, what’s holiday time without those things right?
