I am not, I am not, I am not. I know she means well. I know she means well. I know she means well. She is very sorry. She is very sorry. She is very sorry.

Must... stop... feeling... stressed... about... this...

Gods, I hate the idea that anyone, ever, has the right to "expect" gifts. I hate it. That's not a gift, that's a tithe. And putting together a bloody shopping list makes me feel dirty. Why don't I just ask them all for cash?
