On Christmas I woke up at noon, still sick but at least I had some rest. I got a coffee and I went outside to watch the hummingbirds, they came often to eat so I could make videos and take pics of them. It's so beautiful that I can stay hours there looking how they fly.

We had barbecued with salad for lunch and dessert was icecream. My sister and I cleaned the house because mom is doing very bad job at this... she is losing her glasses all the time so she clean without wear them which means she can't see what she is trying to clean 
The fridge was dripping water so I moved it to see if the drain was clogged. There were not food or garbage under the fridge but I found worms!!!  My sister cleaned it because if I do I'll throw up, I hate worms.
Although it was another 90+ hot day I went for a ride in the bicycle. I didn't get so much people around, they were in their pools or inside the houses. I didn't see anyone playing golf also. 
The air was very nice, I could smell the aroma of the trees and feel the warm wind in my skin while I was riding.
I took some pics on the way

There are many different animals in the place, like owls, parrot, vallenus chilensis, hares, capybaras, hummingbirds and other birds.

The owls are so lovely, while I was passing they looked at me turning its head 180º, it was funny. I got a lot of them on my way.





I did 10km on the bike, It took me 1 hour counting the times I stopped to take pics or to check my gps. I tried to went to the main lagoon but I could not find the way.

I slept less than 5 hours. We was going to leave at 10 am. but for some reason we left at noon. It was a hot and sunny day, perfect to swim so when we got the weekend house I went to the pool with the kids. Almost noone there, it was perfect!!! We stayed in the pool for 2 hours, then we went to have pizza for lunch and we came back to the pool 2 more hours. My sister and my mother joined us this time.

Pool Pictures! )
I was taking pics of vanellus chilensis birds when I saw a lizard walking next to me





I followed the lizard and it went inside a hole in a corner of the pool. In this place are many of them but it's not so easy to see them.

I took a lot of great pics of my family, so bad I can't say the same about my selfies
At 6 pm they closed the pool and we went back to the house. All the girls started to take shower and get ready for dinner. I did their make up and helped my mom to paint her hair. This woman was the whole weekend losing everything, even a gift for one of us!!! we had to help her to find it We made fun of her losing everything, and also because she has so much expired food. My sister and I threw everything in the trash while mom kept saying "that is fine to eat". Really she is very hard to hold, and she is just 63 years old, I can't imagine how hard it will be in few more years.
After I helped mom, I took a shower and I did my best to look decent. I was tired and feeling sick, it was difficult to breathe because the nasal congestion.

This is what I did with myself



Our Christmas table:




Flor and I tried a lot of selfies until we got one pretty decent and funny, she is beautiful, is not her? Martu never join us to take pics. 




Dinner was a delicious meat with orange sauce and salty pancakes tower that my sister cooked from and old recipe that my grandma used to cook always. It was very nice to eat it again. 
At midnight we toast and opened our gifts. My sister never spend money on gifts so she gave me a fashion key ring. I expected nothing from her because she is saving money for my niece 15th birthday. From Martu and Flor I got jewelry and a succulent plant for my mini plants collection!!! Mom gave me a blue blanket which seems will look fine on my bedroom. Everybody liked the gifts that I got for them so I am happy 

I went to the bed at 3 am, feeling very sick and tired.

I feel so down, maybe because I am trying to move away from people who hurt me or people who don't add anything good to my life (it measn I bitched to Michael too) I'm doing my best to not be depressed... and doing so much shopping lol

This weekend we were going to the weekend house to celebrate Christmas and I wanted to swim, but mom told me we will go on Sunday because she expect so much clients on her restaurant on Saturday. The bad thing about it is that on Sunday they close the pool early because Christmas, probably at 4 pm  and they are closed on 25th 

At work I am so busy latelly that sometimes I feel I'll collapse. My boss and I are happy about my work, which is good, and I have a lot of projects for the next year. I still have 1 week of vacations from last year, and 2 weeks from this year, then in October I'll get 3 more weeks of vacations. I'm thinking to take 1 week off in February and go to the weekend house to relax and swim. I also want to go to Chinatown but I can do it any weekend.
Today we are going to a restaurant for lunch to celebrate end of year (we are almost to go there right now). My boss gives us day off on December 23th and 30th   
In Juanary I'm going to be more busy than now, so I better rest as much as I can.

Did I say I hate December? I have so much things to do at work. My cellphone and line phone were rining nonstop. Eveybody need something of me, even the daughter of my boss!!! Not funny at all  I do alone the work that a year ago were doing 2 people and even bringing work at home 
Yesterday and also today, after work, I bought Christmas gifts for my family.  I have almost everything which is good because I do not want to run to buy things a week before Christmas were every place is crowded, I hate that! I got books, bracelets, makeup, diary, lingerie, pencil case and clothes... yes, we are all women 

I also got a gift for myself, I bought furniture: desk, bedside table and a shoe-storage cabinet. I'll pick them on Saturday

Since it's December I'm trying to get the Christmas mood. I need to get some gifts for relatives so after work I went to a store to get a diary for Martu because she wants one. Another thing she wants is a pencil case and I'll see what other things I can get for her. I also bought some bags to put gifts inside.  




I think I'll give to Flor some clothes, she needs nice clothes to use for work so it can be a useful present. As usual I have no idea what to get for my mother... she has literally everything what she needs or she wants and more so it's very hard to get something for her 

Not sure what I'll get for my sister and my niece this year although they never give anything to anyone.
I'll dress the tree this weekend, I don't know for what because nobody will give me anything except my mother if we spend Christmas together, but I like the lights.

 Finally Friday!!!! this week I worked so hard. I'm dealing with a lot of issues at work and trying to fix it with my boss. I had a meeting with her today and I told her almost all I think and all we have to care and pay attention. I also spoke to her about my coworker attitude, we need work like a team and i won't let anyone fuck my work up. But I try to bring to her solutions instead keep focus in the mistakes company did.

At night I went to the mall to have some fun. It is some Christmas tree and crappy decoration I found there





I bought a book for Martu and my mom got a book for Flor, then we went to eat something there. Girls ate in Burguer King, mom got some sausage with fries and I got chicken sandwich.





Then we went to Starbucks to drink Frapuccinos



Mine was raspberry with green tea :)

I had a quiet and nice Christmas. I went upstair to mom's flat and we have dinner together. It was meat with potatos and some sauce. To drink we chose Champagne. Kitty was playing with the head of some doll, he is so cute. I really want a cat but to have one I need keep the windows and balcony closed to the cat doesn't jump and I don't want keep all closed.
We spoke random things about work, men, family, etc. At midnight we had toast then we went to the balcony to see the fireworks. Ppl burned fireworks for almost 40 minutes. Was really nice to see.
I stayed there till 2am then I came back home and Mike started to teach me how to play Magic Cards. At 5am I went to the bed and I slept till 3pm.

Our Table


Out dinner!


Merry Christmas!


Fireworks




I wanted to do some nails design to Christmas but the white nailpolish I bought is very very poor quality and this doesn't dry. I got pissed about this and I had to change my design 128fs4765852.gif
This one I did isn't funny like the one I want to do



Of course I didn't get the Christmas gift that Michael sent me yet. It will take at least 2 months more to Customs decide give me it. Mike is pissed about this, sadly I'm resigned to things work in this way in this stupid country. I got a new bag wich I like so much! is big so I can carry all my shit there.



And this is my Xmas tree wich I don't like this year because I had to use multicolor lights, so I didn't decorate it with love

It's really boring the way that American ppl celebrate the Chritsmas!! They do nothing at 24th... they wake up at 25th then open gifst, have breakfast and lunch together and it is all.
I like more the way we celebrate Chritsmas here. The 24th December we have dinner with family and/or friends. We usually eat coold food because we are on summer, and it's 30+ but we also like eating barbecue! for dessert we like icecream and fruit salad. Then at midnight we have toast, we kiss and hug each other saying Merry Christmas! and we open gifts. We have fireworks show then we stay at the table drinking sider, champagne, eating almonds, nuts, panettone, etc. The next day people usually have lunch together with the relatives they couldn't see the last day. We do the same for New year but without open gifts.
Mike think my Christmas are better and he wants to try it happy0196.gif

Last days I've been busy at work. I got another business that ex sales manager and seller do to steal money. I didn't talk to my boss about this yet, I will wait after holidays to let her have a break. I'm going to need a break too, god, I'm stressed as hell for all this situation and another personal issues. And the bad thing is if I take my pills to relax it makes me fall asleep and be late to work... if I don't take it I can't sleep and the stress make me depressed. 128fs4765852.gif I think if I start workout again it will help me to take the stress away.
I got my bonus and my commissions, so I could buy whatever I wanted to give away for Christmas. Martu will get a electronic keyboard wich I'm sure she will love. To Flor, a new computer bbg.jpg Mom is the harder person to buy something because she has everything and more, and in her last vacations in Dubai she bought a lot of things.. iPhone7, perfums, clothes, shoes, etc. But 2 days ago she said she's bored at weekend house because no internet there and she doesn't have any book to read, then I take her to the bookshop and I made her to choose some books. She was happy with this idea.
I want to use Martu's keyboard to learn to play lol



Next week I'll get things for me. I don't like doing shopping on Christmas week because a lot of people in the stores and the street

Today Mike found a new electric toothbrush that he would like to have, he said he should get it for himself as xmas gift sooooo I went fast to amazon and I bought it for him 😊 When he realized what I was doing he told me to not get it because it is expensive but I don't care!!! I really want get something for him and it wast almost 200usd wich I can afford to spend for him 🤑 I paid also for they prepare it as gift and I added a card. So bad Mike didn't tell me before about this brush then I could get it without he realizes, but anyway I'm happy cuz he will get smt from me that he will love. The brush seems very nice and it has bluetooth. It save alot of info about how you brush your teeth, where place of your mouth you do more or less preassure, etc. It is Oral-B 8000 Genious Pro.
He will get the gift in 1 week 😻
The good about this gift is that he will uses it every day 😊
