Also...
Lingerie? Meh, can buy it for myself. Jewelry? Meh, can buy it for myself if I want it. Sex toys? I have many of those already, so... meh. Clothing? Meh, can buy it for myself and that would be a sad + boring gift in my opinion.
My sweetie overall being happier and less stressed because of getting a different position at work would make me happy. My health not being so fucked would make me happy. SO happy, really, you have no idea. Those are what I really want for Christmas, but I am unlikely to get.
Material stuff is a long list, because I don't tend to buy "frivolous" stuff for myself: parts to build my AR-15, a Nintendo Switch, upgrades for my PC, a Nintendo Switch, a Kitchenaid stand mixer I've wanted for decades, the really beautiful stainless Damascus chef's knife I've been ogling for years, a new tattoo, touch ups on the tattoo I have, some more half sheet pans, some good cake pans, any of the many cook books I've had my eye on for a while, etc. Any of that would be nice, but I'm unlikely to get any of it.
(my dude knows my tastes well enough to know what would be my cuppa tea, and he *has* bought me stuff to wear before, from a huge fluffy robe because I kept getting cold, to the stainless steel collar you can see in my avatar)
I do not have it.. and I NEED it!!
Referral to an allergist. I'm fine at home. But I just sat in a waiting room my eyes started to burn and run, as did my nose. My lungs filled with phlegm, and I partially lost my voice. When I got outside, I felt imstant relief. But then while sitting in my car, plotting out my agenda, a groundskeeper came by with a blower. There again went my eyes and nose.
I have been chronically congested since I moved south. There is permanent inflammation in my face, over my sinuses. I asked for a referral a few doctors ago. I like my new doctor. I'm going to see her again in March. I'll ask for the referral then. For now, I'm going home to wash out my sinuses, eyes, and ears, and take an antihistamine. I've never felt like this so late in the year. I need to know what causes this, so I can adjust my life accordingly.
Maybe, what I need for Christmas is that machine that not only pushes saline up one nostril, but actively sucks through the other nostril. Sometimes gravity just isn't enough.
