Good morning,, all!  

It was a tough week. We put our golden down last Monday, was having a very hard time with it.  The vet explained that he was such a people pleaser,  he didn't show how much pain he was in.  I miss him...

This is our last full week of regular classes, so looking forward to next week, finals, upcoming break.  

To do today:

• college visit today with students 
• lunch out with students
• back to school before last bell
• finish sorting Christmas decorations, prepare discards for donation
• leftovers for dinner or possible pizza, salad
• work on this week's menu, shopping list
• prepare for final exams
• read...relax, watch some football

Have a great day!

Happy Monday, everyone.

Today I'm happy that I got some big and little personal things accomplished / caught up over the weekend.  But I'm not so happy that I did amost zero client work, so the stress of that is back.  Oh well.  I am one person.  I was productive in one way or another, so that was good.

Today, done:

• Laundry in the wee hours and in the morning.  Currently I have the last load in the dryer ... so I'll be caught up until probably tomorrow .....
• Kids to school on time, yay!
• Bought fresh pup food.
• Shower with hair wash - since the pup was sleeping in.
• A bit of house cleaning.
• A bit of reading.
• Pup duty.
• Caught up on news, calendar, emails, social media, and electronic school stuff.
• Back and forth texts with my kid, who has a stomach ache again.  We are working on what her issues may be.
• Some client work.

To do:

• Lots more client work.
• Try to fit in some CPE/CLE training.
• Process last load of laundry.  Clean out the washer including the filter, because there was a lot of dog hair in there this weekend.
• Some quick things in kid's room - because I know she won't do it and it isn't worth the fight.
• Drop off something I found belonging to someone else.
• Pick up the kids & make them attend to their responsibilities.
• Walk the pup.
• "Yoga etc."
• Pick from various projects to do in between the above:
  • Transfer my December/January to-do list to a format I can keep checking and editing.
  • Assemble the chair I bought to hopefully save my tailbone.
  • My closet:
    • Clean out the left and right sides and maybe purge hanging stuff we'll never use.
    • Sort between donate, toss, keep.
    • Add "donate" items to the boxes I already have for a donation.  Get the boxes ready to take to the donation drop-off soon.
    • Figure out a hack to make the left closet door work again (I have some ideas).  Make it happen.
  • Install bathroom fan.  This is unlikely to happen today, but we can dream.
  • Sew ripped coat pocket.  Also unlikely to happen today but what the heck.

Whoo hoo!!! You are awesome 👏 

[MooCow]

@TravelingChris I'm so sorry about your pain. Gentle hugs

[mom31257]

@MooCow, how wonderful!! 

@TravelingChris, I'm sorry for the pain and I hope the new pants will not irritate your incision. 

Back from my errands. The watercolor framing turned out well. I bought a small gift for ds's girlfriend for Christmas. I should see her tomorrow evening when I go pick him up from school. 

Waiting to hear from a student about a special Zoom session. She's struggling with a certain concept, so I offered to meet with her. 

Dh isn't back from practice yet, but he ate dinner and I made 2 lunches out of the leftovers. 

I haven't seen the Hot Now sign on at the Krispy Kreme since we moved near one, so I went through the drive thru and got a couple tonight when I saw it on. You know, it wasn't as good as I remember. I haven't had a hot one in ages, but it was definitely missing something.

I dropped off the "someone else's random item," leaving one less article of clutter on my dresser, yay!

I purged some clothes from my kid's room and boxed it for donation or hand-me-down.  I think I'll set it aside for hand-me-down, even though that means it will be around my house longer.  I'll tuck it away so it isn't really clutter.

Sat with my kid and ordered her a subscription product for Christmas - to take the place of the Birchbox subscription she had been getting for the past few years.  Also researched other health stuff together.

I did not finish a bunch more client work; I took a nap instead.  Will I be productive tonight?  We'll see.

[SKL]

Also ... I am listening to Christmas music, and it is such a mood booster.  🙂

[MooCow]

Dd is back. She shared her stories of GMA and gpa, they all had a good time. 

Wore three layers for my walk. 

Gave up on PowerPoint for the night. 

[LifeLovePassion]

I think we finalized Christmas gifts. Picked up one on the way home from work, then planned the rest.

Paid bills

Got a migraine

Hoping to advance to the next round of an interview process I'm in. Should know later this week.

[ScoutTN]

@LifeLovePassion sorry for the migraine! Hope it clears quickly. 

[ScoutTN]

Grocery shopped.

Cleaned up the kitchen.

Headed to bed.
