KrissiK 64,745 Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Tomorrow is the First Sunday in Advent. Willy Nilly!! I am not prepared. It’s like the Christmas season kind of jumped the gun this year, but now it’s really Advent and I am not prepared. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Junie 49,698 Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 I put the lights on the tree, put away some of the regular knick-knacks to make room for Christmas decorations, and helped dh determine which decorations are not being put up this year. (Dd18 does the lion's share of the decorating here and she's still at college.) 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Susan in TN 70,730 Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 We helped decorate the church for Advent. It's all purtified, though it's really a lovely old place year-round. Then dds14&11 and I went to Chester's training session. He learned "place" and the trainer guy got him to climb onto an upside-down plastic bin. He was afraid of going on it the first few times and it looked like the scene in Elf when Buddy is going up the escalator. 😁 Is 6:00 too early to go to bed? 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KrissiK 64,745 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Baby made me drag out the decorations, but now the house is decorated. It looks good. Tree is not up, though. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wheres Toto 19,551 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hello, We are back home and I am super looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight. Tomorrow we have Thanksgiving Part 2, dinner with my mom and oldest dd. I think we'll probably put up our tree next weekend. There's still a bunch of tools and boxes in the dining nook where our tree is going to go. The inspector is coming Friday and once he's done, dh can put all that crap somewhere else and we'll have a space for the tree. Dh is super strict on no Christmas music until after Thanksgiving (years of working retail has me completely on board with that one), and no tree/decorations until after Thanksgiving (I'm okay with that too), but he started watching those smarmy Christmas Hallmark movies back in October! 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Junie 49,698 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 More shopping done. (Just in time -- the sale ends in 30 minutes.) Christmas tree decorated. More lemon meringue pie. It's been an ok day. We have weather coming (hopefully soon!) and it's making me kind of achy and grumpy. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Critterfixer 54,302 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Morning. Grocery shopping is ongoing (DH takes care of that) and it's raining and cold.

Wheres Toto 19,551 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Morning. Thanksgiving Part 2 today, along with working on classes and setting up school. So, the usual. But, I'm getting classes completely planned for at least the next 3 weeks so then I don't have to think about it anymore until Christmas break. (at least that's the plan, we'll see). 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slache 87,551 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Does anyone here do hormonal birth control in your 30s and 40s?

It's bad. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KrissiK 64,745 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 I’m watching Sportsball. Got some bills paid. We watched church online this morning. Our church opened up in October and now we’ve had some positive cases tied to the choir. I’m kind of surprised they decided to do in-person this morning, but we decided to stay home. All the Bible studies, youth groups, etc. have been cancelled for the week. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Junie 49,698 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Sad venting for a moment: My sister is moving across the country and left today. She stopped half an hour away from my house to eat dinner and didn't tell me until she was packed up again ready to leave. 😞 She said that she didn't want to see anyone because of COVID -- which I get; I'm being more careful than she is -- but we still could have talked across a parking lot for a few minutes. I haven't seen her since last Christmas and I'm near tears... 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
