Junie 49,675 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Good Morning! Happy Tuesday! Functioning on not enough sleep again. I got about 4 hours of broken sleep. Hoping for a good day today. :) 1 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikslo 31,828 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) I needed to bump our ficus up to a larger pot, so I got my Christmas gift early. I picked out a blue pot with a palm tree design. Goes with my newly-painted blue Adirondack chairs. Edited November 24, 2020 by ikslo 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Critterfixer 54,298 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Morning, by the way. I'm in between my walking sessions and writing out the day's plan. Looks like I'm going to be busy. I got all wound up yesterday and wrote 10,000 words. I guess that means today I could just write 5000 and be good. See how it goes later. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Susan in TN 70,709 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 I made it back home alive! It was a little iffy there for a bit. Whole Foods, Lobby of Hobby, and Kroger. Madhouses, every one of them. But at least I found the things for Thanksgiving dinner and the Advent Calendar and a few little doodads for Dd22 & Roommates. I couldn't find any Walker's shortbread, but maybe I can get dd11 to bake some. I have to make a phone call and I don't wanna. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wheres Toto 19,525 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Morning. I'm not responsible for anything having to do with Thanksgiving Dinner so I'm just having my normal morning. Mostly. Tea, granola bars for breakfast. I am doing some laundry since clothes will be needed. We are heading down to MIL's this afternoon. Only a couple hour drive and she's all by herself, dh is the one who goes down and helps her out every couple of weekends so she's already part of our group. Everyone seems to really like this picture from our kayaking day. I find it calming. 7 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Susan in TN 70,709 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Good morning! Way to not spackle the dog, Jean! The wind is really blowing right now - a wet rainy day. But it looks like things should clear up for tomorrow. We are planning to go to the Big Used Bookstore this afternoon. Otherwise, just story time and lots of Thanksgiving dinner prep. Our turkey is a little bigger than usual, so I may see what I can do with it a bit tonight if it's thawed. I should also do laundry. And clean my room. Coffee! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
