Of course they're on the same day most of the time. And then there's this fucking year.
I asked her what she wanted me to order her online and she said, "Let's just skip presents this year." (She's staying at her boyfriend's, this may have something to do with it.) Ain't no way in hell I'm going to go out and get packaging, package a package and go to the post office when I start hysterically crying after going out to GET the mail (also had a package stolen this week because I didn't know it had been dumped outside instead of in my box), so I can't make her something.
Well. Maybe a very little something. Something flat enough to go into a card envelope.
I already had these so-awful-only-a-mother-could-love cards made from a 4th of July cardmaking party a while back.
And I found some kind of cross stitch...tape fabric stuff? that I'd made a book mark out of a while back. I then tried making her a bracelet out of the same material. I doubt she'd actually wear it, mind you, but it probably works as a bookmark too.
This is the best I can do.
Let's hope in a couple of years we're all still alive to do better.
