holiday nonsense

I had a rough Friday. I left work early that morning, made a bunch of treats for my parents who were coming into town to have dinner and watch the Community Band Concert . . .
then after about three hours of sleep I was woken up to a mass freak out because my friend was missing and after friends and family organized, it turned out no one had heard from her since the 10th. Her sister found her checked into a hospital's behavioral unit. So, y'know, she knows when she needs help, but didn't want to worry anyone else.
Also the kittens got up on the counter and nibbled through the plastic into the orange cranberry cake I'd just made. However, comparatively, it was obviously not that big of a deal to me.
Last night was our work party, and it was the worst job I've done trying to organize it. I asked everyone to bring sides, and only one person told me they'd bring mashed potatoes, otherwise I got cheesecake, apple cider, chips and dip. So I panicked last min and made extra mac and cheese, and sauteed veggies just in case. Good thing because the mashed potatoes over slept, and at the last moment I made the young dude bring rolls. Aw well. The roast and bacon wrapped chicken legs were tasty. They voted to watch Catch Me if You Can which definitely has mins of holiday scenes, but it was a bust and only me and one guy made it to the end.
I'm glad my holiday commitments are over. I do have presents under the tree for the first time in years though since my parents didn't try to make me open them when I was upset over my friend temporarily being missing.
