seahorse,  with the yoga. I wanted to start doing some type of yoga or pilates, but I can't keep up with all the new habits I am trying to add! ta-da: Took a break and went to the local greenhouse for their poinsettia show.   They give away free popcorn and hotdogs with homemade sauerkraut and relish. Yummy... and 15,000 poinsettias on display. When I got home I did some more tidying up. Found some hairballs that the cat hacked up. She has been sleeping on my pile of quilting fabric, which is not good since she is a long-haired dark haired cat, and some of my fabric is now coated with a layer of dark cat hair. (She doesn't sleep in the bed I made for her. unfortunately.) to-do: More tidying up Prepare food for this week's work meals. Check on chickens, food water, collect egg. (Yes, EGG, singular...I only have one hen that has been laying) A coworker wants to buy my old sewing machine from me. It needs to be tidied up, and I need to collect all the attachments, etc.

done: -3/4 filled trash can w stuff from the garage -cleared rug in living area -vacuumed rug Todo: -empty vacuum. -continue sorting crafty items -finish filling trash can, and take to the street I looked for a new vacuum on Amazon, but decided to stay with this one. It does very well on low nap rugs, even though it's hard to work on the deeper carpet.

Welcome, minnie! Glad to have you here. BetsyMarie It's good to see you back in ruthless mode. Ally I've never seen variegated poinsettias before, nor so many in one place! seahorse You are humming along today. yrwelcome Gym! Glad for the reminder that I have a membership and need to return. I spent the morning preparing for leading book club. Now I'm back and need to pick up the things I've dropped everywhere. Showered and dressed. Had meds. Did not make bed. Went to drugstore and small grocery after book club. Put away the grocery (yes, singular).  PUPA (pick up and put away). Clean out purse and computer bag. PUPA some more.

Ta-da's: Did more tidying up in the kitchen/dining area. Threw an old fleece robe that belonged to my daughter 20 years ago over the area where the cat has been choosing to sleep, and last I looked, it appears that the cat is sleeping on it. That will be easy to clean at least. Worked on more cabinet doors and hardware. I have figured out what I still need to purchase to finish the job. (the pulls/handles come in 3 different sizes, and then there is a matching knob and initially I wasn't sure which size handle would look best where. Did food prep for work over the next few days. Showered, wiped down shower walls, and then got ready for bed. to-do: Go to sleep...

 Ok, so my last to-dos yesterday were to switch laundry, 10 minute tidy in living room and fix lunch for the littles. All of those got turned into ta-das but I lay my littles down for a nap after lunch and accidentally fell asleep. And it threw the rest of my day off. 🤦 Todays TA-DAs so far Washed and dried bedding Fixed breakfast for littles Packed lunches for littles Got 3 littles off to school Ate breakfast Read a devotional Listened to Christmas Music and Drank a Caramel Apple Cider.  Remake bed Clear table from breakfast Get dressed Get baby little dressed and hair fixed
