All I want For Christmas

It's that time of year where family is hounding me for Christmas gift ideas.  There's a slight problem...

1- I don't have time to shop or pick things out for myself and 2- It's hard for me to come up with ideas.  I'm a pretty easy going person who doesn't need a lot.  Give me some wine and some Netflix binging without kids and I'm golden.  But then I got to thinking about it and there really are some things I would like.

A full night of sleep.  I'm pretty sure my body is incapable of ever sleeping a full night again.  After 10 years of not sleeping I think my body has just given up.  Well, hello 4am, I'm sorry but I think we need to stop seeing each other.  

A lifetime supply of coffee.  Need I say more?

A laundry attendant.  Why do we have so many clothes?!  I can't be the only one who has considered moving to a nudist colony.

A personal chef.  I don't know about you, but I'm so tired of cooking.  Everyday.  Multiple times a day.  I'm over it.  

And

A crystal ball.  I don't need to know everything that is going to happen in the future, but I would like to know when something completely unexpected is coming.  You know, the kind of things that come completely out of left field that throws you off your game?  Yeah, we've had our fair share over here.  The most recent one has me reeling, a little baffled and also wondering how next to put one foot in front of the other to keep going.  But I will.  Because that's life, right?  That's what we do.  There's no giving up.  No matter how exhausted we are, we keep going.  We keep putting one foot in front of the other.  

My list isn't terrible.  It's also not realistic, but one can dream.
