Done:
Organised wrapping paper choices
Cleared air dryer
Folded and bagged laundry
Laundry from machine to dryer
Set out clothes for tomorrow
Fixed parcel up for return collection tomorrow
Wrapping paper is all over the coffee table, but I think that will be tomorrow's problem. Night all!

Good night Diane!
I am in bed too but just for a break I came up to charge my phone and warm up from my walk w puppy
All the animals are asleep too so I did not want to move and stir them but girlcat just got up and she will start chirping for her dinner. Keep in mind she already has dry and wet food out. But she likes it fresh!
Walk w puppy was an adventure. To avoid an off leash dog, I was crossing a field to get by a fence and walk along the fence figuring we’d be safe from deer. Puppy stared to get Uber alert and in the darkness I realized I was taking us directly to a herd of about 8 deer all staring at us!! high tailed it out if there!
I finally mailed some Christmas cards. Must finish rest tonight!!!I think I am so overloaded from the constant deadlines at work that my psyche just resents personal deadlines but Christmas is coming!!
I am working on a really hard project at work and I am confused… I might need Chaos help.

good evening everypony!
today was a bit frustrating. woke up at 4:00 am again with congestion. went back to sleep eventually but had to get up for an appt.
DONE:
had a good planning session with the nutritionist and DVD. made an appt at urgent care--have had hives/rash for a couple of days after starting new meds went grocery shopping back to urgent care--so many have been ill for so long picked up a new script called DVD to drive me home (my car isn't starting)
hives/rash is flaring up since taking my first dose of Zpac. dang it, I don't want to spend tomorrow at urgent care again. 
I'm gonna go lie down. pea soup is in the crock pot. DVD took his car to his mom's to charge. we think we will skip tomorrow's trip to the next town. I need to start wrapping all the gifts I have squirreled away!

Everybody is busy. Me too.
Today I did laundry and the dailies. Vacuumed the LR again. Took 2 decor bins to the attic. Put the Nativity sets on the DR table to do another day. Placed other small decorations around. Cleaned coffee table. Took out trash.
Did 3 business things on phone and had one short call with my BFF in CT. Also talked with Carolyn.
Unloaded and put away a large Walmart order. Took a shower and washed my hair, trimmed nails.
Processed mail. I think I did more, but can't even remember what else I did. I know I was busy all day.
Wishing good things for all,
catcats

Good morning everyone!
Catcats, I see you get Walmart deliveries often--are these the official delivery service from the store that you pay a yearly fee for? Or are you ordering non-perishable items to be shipped? I noticed that the last time I ordered for shipping they did actually ship instead of deliver from the store--and I made another order on Sunday and they are shipping that one too. I'm wondering if they've stopped delivering shipping items (free shipping over $35) from the store, which would be okay with me--they make a lot more mistakes with the store delivery than with shipping.
Glad you avoided the deer, bree, 8 deer would be too much for puppy to resist if you got too close!
Scholar, it's good that you're going to urgent care, my fear with hives is that it's just the start of a bigger allergic reaction that affects breathing. Not the best place to have to visit the week before Christmas, though!
Both the dog and I had good sleep last night. Today is another cold one with a high of 32, but the week after are all highs between 40 and 50--which of course means that we will not have a white Christmas. Not having one is more common now than when I was a child, or course, it's been several years since we've had snow on Christmas day.
I hope everyone is productive today!
Diane

Chicken chili turned out so good! I grabbed a corn muffin, crumbled it in the bottom of a bowl and put the chili on top. there was a little "kick" to it but more flavorful than just hot. Leftovers were put in three small to medium containers so there are three meals leftover and three corn muffins.
Work party today (#3). this is our little, in our office, party. I am not participating in the grab bag and for the first time, I do not have little gifts for everyone. Too overwhelmed. The woman that works directly for me gave me two beautiful glass ornaments. And of course, I forgot her gift.
DS dropped off his jeans last night and I washed them. I popped them in the dryer this morning and he will grab them after work. I will add to the bin - all of the clothes I have washed this week. I think I have two loads left for him. And I think I have one load left for me and I am all caught up. til the weekend.
I am assisting with a community project - and we have a meeting on that tonight. We are putting out luminaries throughout the neighborhood. It is a small section of our town but it will be thousands of luminaries. I am only responsible for my street and it is only a block long. And I have 4-5 volunteers.
OK - I dont see much paid work getting done today.....

I need to get some laundry done, mainly sheets and towels today
Last night i did dishes so its not bad in the kitchen
I filled a trash bad with yard waste and it looks better outside
I need to return the Hotspot to the library and take it out again on my account. We both joined the library thanks to Diane, and internet is free which i would never have known. This is saving us paying internet fees every month and as money is tight it is one less bill. Utilities are under control as we are not running the heat much because we have electric throws in the living room and those body warmers filled with beans that we microwave and also the electric blanket. I think we have made back all the money we spend on these things by not having a huge heating bill. Any saving is good right?
Today i will try to
vacuum 2 rooms
hang the laundry after washing
fill the 3 water jugs that hold 5 gallons each
Put away the beef that DH cooked last night
Put on lots of layers when i get up to keep warm
I don't feel like getting started but small steps might lead to bigger things
Oh i added another volunteer day this week at the food bank. Yesterday i was filling those onion type bags with produce for the elderly, i had to put 4 potatoes, 3 apples, 3 oranges, 2 green squash, 2 yellow squash, and a bag of carrots in the bag. This was all top quality produce, oranges from CA, Apples from WA, and Idaho potatoes. Easy job for a couple of hours.

Oust, how nice of you to volunteer at the food bank! And what a great, healthy produce package to give to people! A lot of time food banks only have packaged goods.
I'm eating lunch and watching a Christmas movie but it's almost time to feed the dog and see if she wants to go out--she hasn't been out yet this morning.
