This year it has been a bit more frustrating than before. You see, there have been changes to the List of which I have recently become aware. Nothing big, like new family members. I am aware of <em>those</em> changes! No, just little things, like color preferences, new style preferences, new hobby interests, etc.</p>

<p>Still, it&#8217;s not a big inconvenience, just a mild one. At least gift certificates and money are always failsafe. Come to think of it, so is food.</p>
<p>But I just can&#8217;t be trusted with purchasing chocolate. The stress of the season would force me to take advantage of that. Well, just having it around would force me to take advantage of that. Ok, &#8220;force&#8221; is not the right word. <em>STOP JUDGING ME!!!!</em></p>
<p>Just for that, I&#8217;m going out to get another bag of Halloween candy. It helps with the stress 😀</p>
