I sat and got rid of emails for a while, about all I felt like doing--what I should have done is work on my two December challenge goals that involve sitting at the computer, but I haven't. I guess I need to not count on getting much done on shopping days. It's almost time to make dinner.
Today was supposed to be warmer but it sure doesn't feel like it, outside or inside. I fed the dog at 4 but she didn't want to go outside, so I went out myself to bring the garbage can back to the yard. Hopefully she will wait now until 8.

I felt guilty so I did half an hour of book data entry for the challenge.
Now I'm going to eat dinner and I know I won't do anything else tonight, so good night, see you tomorrow!

Diane, I hope your shopping friend does better.
Here was my list for the one hour, I was a little optimistic on my productivity!
bedding into dryer - DONE take quick shower - DONE quick clean of bathroom (wipe sink floors tub) - DONE cleaned sink, tub, toilet, quick mopped floor put clean dishes away DONE wash dishes TO DO put crock pot away DONE yay I dislike this heavy task! sweep kitchen floor DONE clean off dining room table PARTIAL fold christmas blanket DONE organize shoe tray TO DO wipe kitchen counter DONE make up DD bed DONE make up my bed TO DO put recycling into outer bin DONE clean litter TO DO put bottles in car to return TO DO redeem bottles TO DO hit the highway!! DONE!
so DD is home. I think we will get Thai takeout for a late-ish dinner at her request I took puppy for a walk, it was warmer in the low thirties, just above freezing, so I was a little less concerned about ice but still careful. Puppy loves the colder temps. Puppy was so happy to see DD! She kept nose-diving in front of her, then getting up and leaping at her ... cute!!
I might just relax for a bit i have to make my bed but I am a bit worn out. I did pop on my computer and do one quick work thing

Hi People !! Sounds like we are all doing OK in getting things done. I did the daily things and spent a great deal of time making business calls. And my new replacement credit card came and I notified 6 places of the new number, 2 by phone and 4 online. Called again about the property taxes. I cleaned off and dusted the Baker's rack and placed onto it the bigger Nativity set. The small ones are now on the Tv cabinet. Very little decorating left now. Just one bin in the attic. A short while ago, I had filled in paperwork which I had put off for ages, in order to qualify for a decent reduction in my internet bill. I got an email today that it went through and I will get $45.00 a month knocked off my bill. I am so delighted. This morning I roasted the small turkey breast, so that's done too. I was going to shower and did not. I was going to finish wrapping presents and did not. I was just too tired. Tomorrow will be soon enough. I did groom my Mocha a lot though, and he needs more. Hoping everyone has a good week. cando , my DS is doing OK, but I no longer can take him out or bring him here, as he has had an amputation and did not get a prosthetic leg. He cannot manage transferring into cars. That part is sad. We keep in touch though. I hope that he does get a prosthetic leg so that he will be more mobile. catcats

Good morning womble and everyone!
I slept okay, I had a period of almost 2 hours in the middle of the night when I couldn't fall back to sleep but I fell asleep at 9 so still got about 7 hours. The dog slept well.
I feel relieved because shopping is done and I can now stay home until after Christmas. I might go to the library tomorrow or Saturday if I fee like it but I don't have to. And my feet/ankles feel better today.
As usual I have a long to-do list but today I am hopeful that I can get a lot done. After breakfast!
Diane

Happy Thursday! Last night DD and I had our Thai takeout and watched Elf. So fun to have her home. We both struggled getting up for our jobs today This morning I took out the trash and cleaned the litter At work. Good Christmas cookies here!! Trying to be productive I am going to make a list of what I want to accomplish today and try to take better notes Some good news my relative who has just basically ignored us has decided to have a big gathering the day after Christmas! Maybe my conversation back in October had an impact? When I told her how hurtful it is. catcats congrats on getting your bill reduced. I hope your DD can get a prosthetic leg

guest room bedding is stripped and half in the washer, half in the dryer. We managed to get the little cheapo vacuum to work last night and got most of the schmutz off of the carpet Goat paths are quite narrow and I will hear bitching about that when DD gets home. I did work in the upstairs hallway and got so much in the trash. the mess looks worse before it gets better.
I went and helped my mom last night - she had a box delivered and I had to get it into the apartment and unpacked. It was some Pennsylvania Dutch food and yummy! Shoo fly pie, sticky buns and lebanon baloney.
OK - back to work

I have the majority of my work done for the day - just an ongoing project that I will look at this afternoon.
So I am diving into a pile on my desk to look for papers I can toss!

Good morning TML, bree and ohblondie!
Flea check was negative, as usual. The companies that make the preventative meds push people to use them during winter even in cold climates, but we have several deep freezes during the winter and I'm confident that there will be no mosquitoes or fleas around from December through March, so I don't give them during the coldest months. I would rather not give meds that are not needed.
Next:
10 minutes on paper Wash some dishes Restock water in fridge Delete 10 hard emails

The dog wanted to go out again so we did, and then I brought the broom out and swept the garbage can area and the area under the stairs where I left the pumpkin for the squirrels to eat.
Now I'm finishing up lunch and a movie break.
Next:
10 minutes PEEPing Wash some dishes Measure file holder Delete 10 hard emails
