Guest Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I'm here! Need some more coffee. Had some cereal already. Have one load of laundry ready to hang up to dry. Most of my list is things I got partly done yesterday-- I broke out the tasks to make them more manageable: finish bookshelf, move dresser, fix closet, take pictures of shoes, organize miscellaneous things in my room. Then mop, vacuum, maybe organize some things in the "public" areas of the house, I can't move furniture by myself I don't think but watch me possibly do it anyway lol. Then study and plan and stuff. Have a good day, y'all! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandra Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Well, it is Stir Up Sunday (for U.S., British was a few weeks ago), so I will get Christmas Pudding ingredients and stir them up with plenty of boozy stuff. Everyone in family gets to stir the mixture. But first, I want to look at pudding recipes. The one I have used -- and love -- is made with suet, so I am hoping to find something healthier, but still decent. My living room needs some serious work. I bought some new furniture, and room looks like a warehouse, no space for the tree that is waiting outside. So on the agenda are trips to basement, garage, storage, and local recycling center. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Room is nearly done. I have a small pile of "um, where does this go?" stuff, and I need to mop before I can finish up a last few things. Sitting for a bit with my ice pack, my leg has been okay with the boot, it just gets hot and heavy and awkward. Getting some loaded cheese fries for lunch, yum, but this is the last one, lol. I need to remember to rinse out the bathtub more, I put draino in and it needs to be flushed more. Once I'm done with the ice pack, off to mop. And then put on real pants, got hot working but once I sit I get cold. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Dh is gone to church. Kids are still coughing a bit, so we kept them home. Tree is decorated. Kids are reading/napping. Wrapped 2 gifts. Listening to the chickadees and the carolina wrens have a "conversation" near the feeder. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Got home from the folks' really late yesterday after spending the whole day doing Christmas. We all slept in pretty late this morning. Had a car appointment for my tire - it's still in the shop, probably need to go get it in the next hour or so. Working on a very big and stressful project. Client is up my butt because he's nervous about it. Meanwhile the kids are trying to work ahead on their homework to help with our travel schedule. They keep interrupting me. I am pretending to be very focused but actually I am not. I have some laundry to do if I ever get to a good place on my work (or even if I don't). And also there are dozens of other things I wanted to finish this weekend work-wise. And I just realized I missed a deadline last Friday. Ugh. Oh well .... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Mopping upstairs done. Did two loads of laundry and one of towels. Working on computer and paper work. Ordered in for dinner because haven't been to the store. Which reminds me, at some point when it is light out, we need to try to get a new porch light in the socket. Skyping with the nieces and sister in a bit. Later will attempt some shredder surgery. I think it just needs cleaned, it shreds in the middle but not sides. The leg is bugging me a bit now. Probably did a little too much. I'll ice it again later. Didn't do downstairs today, but I have the rest of the week. Need to think about decorations. I don't care about a tree but I think Mom wants one, maybe she'll settle for a plant and the tiny decorative ones we already have. A bit grumpy after looking up the two girls from my college who are going to a conference in January that I am attending, they are very young and I do hope I won't be expected to be "friends" with them. (I can "social," but I don't want to be pressed into more than an acquaintanceship.) Edited December 17, 2017 by Guest 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) They forgot an egg roll, it may show up later. The nieces are tired and probably need dinner and a bath and early bed. Their parents refuse to set up schedules for them, so there's two almost-three-year-olds just running around eating too much junk and having too much screen time and wrecking the joint. Ugh. I miss them terribly but I won't put up with nonsense from the adults who should know better and then say the babies are being bad! Edit: a wild egg roll has appeared! Edit: the tiny ones now have pizza and are happy Edited December 18, 2017 by Guest 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Freezing rain here, yuck. Chores are done and it's time to go shut myself in my bedroom, turn on the game and see how much I can get wrapped. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 All done for the day. Laundry is running and I'm about to make some cocoa and read. Dh is watching basketball. Ds is reading. Dd has gone to bed. I am hoping she can really rest tonight. A lot less coughing would be good! Our tree is very pretty. Always something magical about a Christmas tree. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Did a lot of clearing out, trips to town dump/recycling center, etc. More to go, but still very liberating. Made a nice dinner of roast chicken with mushroom gravy, green beans with Parmesan, and multicolored cherry tomatoes with garlic and balsamic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
