Susan in TN Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Good morning! Dd15 and dd18 got all their NaNoWriMo words in! Now they can get back to regular schoolwork, lol. I’m in the parking lot of the Depot of Home - got some things for the Christmas lights. I have no idea how dh got the remote control light plug thing to work in the porch outlet without taking off the outlet cover, which I don’t think he did. So I am going to cobble some things together and see if I can make it work. Aldi (which is across the street from here) doesn’t open for a little while so I am just waiting around for a bit. Coffee! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Three days from now I will be leaving Texas and going to Disneyland, where Mr. Ellie and I will spend four glorious days with the Mouse, the first time since 2018. (We did WDW in '19 and '20, but although we enjoyed ourselves, Disneyland is HOME.) That is all. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I just spent a very pleasant 45 minutes outside giving the runaway forsythia bush a heavy prune. (There’s probably a spiritual lesson there). I have filled the yard waste bin but I still have a huge mound of branches on the yard. I still have more to prune- more of a tidying up kind of prune but that can wait a bit. I had started pruning in the summer but it was so overgrown that I couldn’t even see where the branches went. But now it’s easy since the leaves are all off. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Our new bed came today. It's a dream cloud premier I think. Something like that. It's a memory foam/spring hybrid and comes squished into a big box. We're putting it on the bed in the morning so it has all day to expand (technically you're supposed to give it 24 hours or something, but I"m sleeping on it tomorrow night anyway). Hopefully it will be good for my back. I started doing yoga and Tai Chi again in the mornings. I go upstairs to my storage room at work. Now that it's better organized, there is enough space as long as I don't do much traveling with the tai chi. That seems to be helping my back some. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Kitty is back. He’s a Tom, so I think he was out prowling, although he seems a little young for that. At any rate, my goal over Christmas break is to get him fixed. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the warmth, ability to swim year round, dryness, lack of pressure and lack of allergies it's a major upgrade to so many people's lives. Even if it is 115° every summer. 🦎 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 HAPPY FRIDAY!!!! We ended up sleeping in a little bit this morning. We woke up briefly in the middle of the night because the dog knocked over a water cup because his water bowl was empty (he drinks a ton when we are out of the house, then drools everywhere). Ds refilled it but we had to ask him to do that (he was up and walking around). Then dh didn't get back to sleep right away so didn't wake up at his normal super early hour. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I won't ever live in Texas again, but I wouldn't mind being a snowbird somewhere warm and dry. Four seasons are only fun the first time it snows. And on the two or three nice Autumn and Spring days we get each year. Lately we seem to shoot right from hot summer to freezing winter and visa versa in the Spring. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Good morning! I'm now grumpy because dd18 is still struggling with basic driving skills and I am losing hope that she will ever be able to drive a car. And I have a ton of things to get done this morning before my sister comes to visit which means I need everyone else to do their part and no one seems interested in that. Therefore, Drill Sergeant Susan makes an appearance. Who has the Grumpy Pantz? I need the ones with coffee dispenser and chocolate in the pockets. Coffee! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Ugh, Susan!, I’m sorry. We’ll send over Mr. Pips, the driving instructor from the Island to give you a hand with DD.

Susan in TN Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Well we have gotten quite a bit done. I got a voice mail from a guy who is supposed to make another key to the new car and he wants to schedule for either today or next Friday, both days which are packed and the thought of having to call and make an appointment makes me feel like my head is exploding. So I am ignoring the issue for now. While cleaning off the small table in my room, I came across a bunch of paperwork that also needs to be dealt with and I am also ignoring. Right now, my only goal is to take a shower. Ready, set, GO! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
