No I don't. My parents aren't an option.
My aunt and uncle are in Hobart as well but they won't be free. I'm also going out for dinner that night with my dads side of the family for Christmas its so chaotic.
I think I'm just reliseing how stressful this all will be. I also have a family thing on Saturday for my pops, cousin and aunts birthday. So much masking. Gosh I need to stop thinking I'm starting to freak out now. Then there is new years when everyone will be like yay a new year and I'll be like yay another year where I have to fight to stay alive. Sorry now I'm ranting.

I have enjoyed this quote...
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt
