It is That Time of Year
Woman in the Middle | December 12, 2016After getting meds from Urgent Care on Saturday, Hubby rallied yesterday and managed to help me buy a tree and get it up (although it isn’t decorated yet) and he put some lights on the front of the house and hung my new, lighted wreath from Costco. I was just hoping for the wreath to get hung on the garage, so we didn’t look like Scrooges, but Hubby decided to put up some lights as well. I think he eventually regretted that decision, but I do appreciate the pretty result.
I got the living room and dining room cleaned out of all the stuff that had been accumulating there the past week, mostly for a charity Christmas party I volunteer for. The dining room still looks pretty good, but I started wrapping and made another big mess in the living room. Sigh. I will be cleaning that up today.
Meanwhile, I bought a little notebook and have started making a daily list in it so I can remember what I need to do. Today’s list has 12 things on it, not a single one having to do with cleaning the house. Hum…
Honey is doing better. She is just about back to her normal perky self. She still isn’t eating as much as normal, and is taking a page from Blackie’s book – she will eat any thing we offer once, but expects something totally new the next time we offer anything. So, I have two picky eaters at the moment. She also is having some diarrhea (sorry, TMI, I know) so that is fun.
I am making plans for some shopping today, delivering some donations around town and decorating the tree. What is on your “to do” list today, and I hope it is less than 12 things!!!
At this time of year it often feels like there is so much to do and not enough time to do it all in
All I’m doing this holiday season so far is working when people are having their parties and other events. It’s so frustrating because every time I want to attend an event, it’s when I’m working! Happily, I have managed to find two events that I can attend. Hopefully, when I am on Winter Break, starting on the 16th, I will be able to attend more.
