hi everypony!
I ended up cleaning up from the party last night rather than napping. then we watched a holiday special. It was hard to wake up from the benadryl this morning. so another not very productive day.
DONE: wrote up notes for Dr and printed out stuff packed
to health center--left msg for my provider to grocery store when I got home the provider said to go back to urgent care (where the antibiotics were prescribed) discovered I could make an appt online, so I did that made a late lunch started to write email to cousin--got overwhelmed with the links
I should probably just let myself rest.
hang in their, everypony!

A trying day. In putting in an order for food for DS , ran into a problem which eventually was ironed out, but it took several calls, etc. and caused me much anxiety.
I did do the dailies and took all the trash to the curb. Wrapped a few presents.
My best to all !

I started to clean the upstairs bathroom. Sink is scrubbed. I worked on the guest room. I was getting things put away then I got frustrated and just started piling bins. I did pull out some clothes that I wanted to wear through the holidays. Tomorrow I will finish clearing off the bed and I will wash the bedding. Not sure if she will sleep here or at DS's new apartment. Deep down inside - to be totally truthful - I hope she stays with him.
I totally forgot about my 8pm meeting. I cant leave anything to memory and I need to get everything in my phone.
I gave a co-worker a ride home. It was totally out of my way but she is nice and I felt sorry for her. I think tghat is what threw me off. I was late getting to see my dad then late getting home. I will admit I did sit down and get lost in my ohone for awhile.
I ate a decent meal at our lunch party and I initially did not want supper. Now I am getting hungry. Ugh
OK - time to be productive again......

ohblondie i had a big holiday lunch and figured no dinner for me but about 8 I was hungry so leftovers work was busy today. I ended up working just under two hours late. It is this confusing project. I cannot find some old notes that would be so useful. Also I realized another change I need to make -- so late in my career- put better information in my notebook, like the date, the topic and if a meeting the attendees. I have been searching through my notebooks for this information and while I found a fragment, I truly make life hard on me! on the way home bought some petfood. I could not figure out why the cats did not like their dry food at all, and I looked closer and realized it was dog food. poor kitties. So I rectified the situation. took puppy for about one hour walk, it was rather cold, just in the 20s. there were patches of ice so I was cautious doing some laundry did dishes now off to bed

catcats How is your DS doing, now? oust Diane took the words right out of my head re: your work at the food bank. bree you are such a good dog owner! Taking dog for walk in the freezing cold, etc. I’m glad you are cautious about the ice. That can be scary & completely life changing. DH & I have been wanting to adopt another dog, but the timing is just not quite right yet. I’m not ready to add an at least daily dog walk in, yet. I know my limitations. Lots of other things we are unsure about at this time. The shelters are overcrowded right now because so many adopt & then things happen or end up not being a good match, or not realizing that Christmas gift puppy is not being taken care of by the children, or allergies, or animal needs more care than they thought, etc. DH & I know that having pets are a commitment for the lifetime for that animal. Work is tenuous right now for both of us.. Current dog had a heart attack a few nights ago & now is on expensive medications. Etc. Yesterday, managed to do laundry after work. Monday, DH took DrBro & his wife to the airport. I miss my DrBro very much. They were here for a few days. First time to see them in 2 years. They loved spending time with DMom everyday while they were here. Monday, went in to work after taking last Thursday afternoon & Friday to be with DrBro & Sil …boss had removed big stack from top of my desk. Very disconcerting & left me discombobulated. My notebook with my notes. Oh well. It’s his business. He wants a paperless office. He shredded my old & most recent notebooks. Some work in my desk drawer is missing & has to be redone. Time spent on it wasted. Still nervous about being fired & wanting to quit, too. I knew what I was getting into when I took this job 8 1/2 years ago. So I need to just get with the game & stop complaining. Dog is doing ok. Yesterday, did payroll at work, collection calls, etc. Cd

Good Morning! It is a cold morning here. We got up and dropped DHs truck off at the dealer to be looked at. Slow morning at work - so many people have time off this week so calls are going unanswered..... Next week will be even quieter
I am showered and dressed and plugging away. over lunch I have to run an errand. After lunch I have to meet my dad for a CAT scan. The hospital is a mile away so I will be in and out (hopefully) pretty quickly
Today I must clear up the guest room wash the bedding and make the bed vacuum finish cleaning the bathroom
and my errand just cancelled so more time here

Good morning womble, cando, def and ohblondie!
I made it to Walmart this morning. The walk was definitely easier this time, I really need to make sure I go at least every 2-3 weeks so I don't lose the ability to do this walk.
I came home and fed the dog and she wanted to go out right away, so we did that. I also put away frozen and refrigerated stuff. Now I need a good rest.
Bree, you do know that you gave your cats the ultimate insult by suggesting they should eat food meant for a lesser creature, right? I hope they forgive you.
Diane

Diane even puppy did not seem to like the food! cando I am sorry your dog had a heart attack! how scary. i hope she/he does well. I think you are wise to carefully consider another dog. I am stretched with my three needy animals!! i love them but they are demanding critters! I think your boss should not have thrown and shredded your stuff! I know it is his business but it seems to disrespect your personal space and it looks like he trashed ongoing work that you need to redo! He could have asked you to pare down stuff. There are quite a few jobs out there, maybe set up a daily feed from indeed to see your options? might find a better deal. I leave in about one hour to retrieve my DD! I have her bedding the wash right now so I will have her bed freshly ready for her (the cats sleep on it!) I am slow moving today, just plain old tired. Puppy woke me up at about 4 am. She is really smart, she goes to the front door and scratches to go out bercause the front door is nearer my bedroom than the back door -- and she knows she only goes out the backdoor. i heard it and thought/prayed oh please just be due to wanting to play not bathroom but then she came up and propped up on my bed. So I let her out the backdoor and she did her business. I was then awake so I watched part of the crown, which is prob why i am dragging today. I have to leave in about one hour - here is what i want to do -- after I press send on this posts, I will set timer for one hour and have this goal: bedding into dryer take quick shower quick clean of bathroom (wipe sink floors tub) put clean dishes away wash dishes put crock pot away sweep kitchen floor clean off dining room table fold christmas blanket organize shoe tray wipe kitchen counter make up DD bed make up my bed put recycling into outer bin clean litter put bottles in car to return redeem bottles hit the highway!! ready set go!

Good afternoon bree and scholar!
Bree, enjoy the day with your daughter!
Scholar, ugh, you still have the hives? I don't know how long hives from meds last, I used to get a few on my face or neck and could never figure out what they were from, but I assumed from something I was eating, and they always went away with a few hours. I hope you can figure out what's going on.
I tried to make myself do something but besides being tired and having sore ankles, I feel really cold since I got home. So after a while I gave up and got into bed with the dog and a book. I finished reading the horror novel I started several days ago. It was pretty good I guess, but the first half of the book was the best because the horror was just hinted at. The second half actually described the "horror" and then the book becomes a little bit silly for me. I do remember being younger and loving the old horror movies with vampires and werewolves, but now things that are hinted at are much scarier--I guess that means I've lost the little bit of imagination that I used to have. Or maybe what I can conjure up with my imagination now is so much scarier than the fictional monsters. This book really did hold my attention though, so I'll give it a B grade even though it wasn't exactly what I wanted. The book is Nestlings by Nat Cassidy.
Then it was time to feed the dog so I did that, and then my shopping friend called. I hadn't heard from her in a while, we had several phone calls in a row because we were finalizing the letter she wanted for her cards, and the address labels. Well, she just tested positive for Covid this morning. She said she felt weaker than usual for two days, which she can tell during her daily session where they walk her down the hall. Then last night she started coughing constantly and they did a test at midnight which was negative. But this morning they did another test and she's positive. They're also starting Paxlovid. She says she doesn't feel too bad, just tired from coughing--she sounds very congested, though. So, now I will worry about her until I hear that she's getting better. I did just hear yesterday that in my area the hospitalization rate for Covid has gone up 50% in the last few weeks.
I still don't feel like doing anything. It's time for lunch so I'll eat something and then figure out something productive I can do while sitting down at my desk.
Diane
