hey everypony!
we had a great time at our party and made some new friends! Nine people showed up at overlapping times--which turned out to be the perfect amount. It ended at eight and we spent the night relaxing. I woke up for several hours, went back to sleep and slept until noon. Trying to convince myself to take a slow day today.
my folks didn't come as DF was not feeling well, so they will come over for dinner (leftovers) at 5:00--less than two hours! I guess I need to start warming up the house.
DONE: took meds updated chart brought in soft toys (the rain has finally arrived)
checked online balance checked email checked calendar updated calendar checked advent calendar and wrote a list of outstanding activities called DPs
NEXT UP: update paper and whiteboard calendars
put TV tables and extra chairs away
set up table set the table wash dishes start dinner prep set up buffet
finish outdoor decorations
select outfit wash up and get dressed do makeup for holiday photos
ON DECK: take photos
make holiday plans pack food for DPs clean up from dinner

Scholar, I'm glad you enjoyed your party, and catcats, your day out.
Oust, I was wondering what your grounding mat was for. I only occasionally get static electricity in here, I wonder if it's because all the plants provide some humidity. Although, the succulents don't, and they are half my plants or more.
I had a nice day, I pulled out some Christmas CDs that I haven't listened to this year and I watched a few Christmas movies and wrote out more cards, hopefully they might still make it in time.
I also had a short reading break--I'm reading three good books at once so really want to get back to them. I still feel kind of guilty when I read for more than 15 minutes so I think over Christmas eve and Christmas I will plan to sit and read for some long stretches of time as a present to myself.
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow in the weekday thread!
Diane

OK - not sure what happened to my post....
I was busy all day
I did an early morning load of laundry
clothes are hung to dry
I went to get my mom to visit my dad. Residents at the ALF are getting meals delivered and eating in their room. Very few are in the hallways and they are supposed to be 6 ft apart. She had just gotten her meal when I got there so I had to wait for her. That put us behind
I stopped to get my dad a milkshake on the way. I grabbed a peppermint mocha coffee with chocolate peppermint creamer. AT our local Stewarts shop. A gas station convenience store. The coffee was delicious. And I am still ready to crawl under the covers and doze.....
My DS's GF stopped by to visit with us. I left with my mom and she stayed and chatted with my dad.
Once I got home I started cleaning out the back of my car. SOmeone was dropping off some luminary supplies for christmas eve. everything got moved o the back seat.
DH and I went to Walmart for groceries. We specifically went there to get sugar free powerade. They were all out of powerade. I have never seen the shelves in that store so empty/ I could not even get two oranges for my parents stockings! they had only one orange in the entire store~~
I got the basics, coffee and oatmeal. ingredients for the chicken chili I am making tomorrow and some cleaning supplies.
I just ate my left over chili and started in again on the kitchen. I emptied all of the grocery bags that I could and got them folded and put away. I got the groceries put away. Almost all of them.
I got the coffee pot ready for the am - first one up turns it on.
I am debating doing another load of laundry or washing another sink full of dishes. Also - amazon has been at my door all day - I need to find a place to stash the boxes. But I am getting nothing done sitting here!

mylittlescholar your party sounded lovely! Great job, y’all, on getting tons done this weekend. Yesterday: Showered2shoes Put full makeup on for a change Polished fingernails Dressed nicely. DH & I went to dinner party at friends house. We brought wine & DH made dairy free green bean casserole that was amazing! It was lots of fun being with old friends we hadn’t been with in a while. Afterwards, DH had some work he had to do since he wasn’t able to get it done the past 2 days. DrBro & his wife came over & we saw a Christmas Movie This morning, Sunday. Early morning, woke up with another bad headache, terribly stuffy nose, etc Later, I felt better. DH & I went to meet someone to pick up a nice, tall file cabinet for free, but they gave me the wrong time… so we missed them. I had their message in my voicemail. Oh well…dang it. I really needed one. Met DrBro & his wife at DMom’s. Had a great visit. Then we went to In & Out Burger. Discussed some important matters Re: DMom, accountant & attorney. DH & I took at least 8 big boxes, at least 15 small boxes, 2 bags recyclable bottles, can, jars, and 3 sacks of papers & recyclable type paper stuff to outside recycle can Emptied front bathroom trash & replaced bags. Emptied kitchen trash & replaced bag Took 2 bags of trash to outside can. DH & I took important folder with papers to DrBro at their hotel. I sure will miss them! Cd
