hi all have not posted since Monday I guess and here it is thursday... just doing the usuals but with DD home!
Tuesday is a blur -- I did not have to rush home at lunch as DD could be with puppy, so that was a relief
Wednesday is a blur! I did have a mini temper tantrum yesterday, all alone in my office. I had a meeting with Chaos in the afternoon and a couple hours prior she asked me to bring all this stuff to the meeting. I freaked out and was so annoyed, she just dumps work on and then asks surprised if it is not done, not realizing that her new requests force the old ones to be delayed. But as I pulled the info together I realize yes I do do work, I get thing done, and I had most of it in good shape. But it is so stressful with such a chaotic person just such an idea of the day person.
I did take puppy for walks each night, she is energized by our very cold weather, so she is jumping and pulling more and I am tired from the walk in the cold. So when I get back from work, take her for an hour long walk, I am beat and very hard to do much more, and I have much more to do!
Christmas has not arrived here yet in terms of decorations. part is due to destructive nature of puppy, she just destroys everything. but today we are putting up tree, I am putting up outdoor decorations to some extent and I am doing my Christmas cards. They arrived and they look great!
I have been doing dishes, litter, today also need to do some laundry.
I am just beat. I want to enjoy the season!!

progress report!
I just put up two little decorative trees with lights on my porch. Last year's Bree was nice to today's Bree - I had carefully put away the trees and the extension cords so it was fairly easy to get it all set up! Now they are lit even though it is daylight. So cold here! So some holiday cheer. Christmas I love!

Hello, everyone. I am so sorry, but I need to claim Read Back Amnesty. I slept until noon today. It has been YEARS since I slept so late. I had an unexpected day off from work. My exhaustion was evident. Now I need to get cracking. My depression has been so bad that I have been missing a lot of deadlines and everything is really piled up at home and at work and everywhere. For the rest of this day, I don’t want to dwell on that. I just want to get some things accomplished. Or at least started or further along.
Done
Replied to an important email
TO DO
Throw on a bra and a hat and run up to dollar general for toilet paper Get some breakfast and eat it Laundry load 1 in wash Take Meds Brush teeth Laundry load 1 in dryer Laundry load 2 in wash

Good morning scholar and TT!
When I got back from the mailbox I found my internet out, it just came back now--I am prepared for another day of sporadic connection. And, I had ordered a snow shovel online, it came, however when I went to assemble it--2 screws to attach the blade to the handle, the holes for the screws are there on one piece and not on the other! So now I have to see if I can use my drill to make the holes, otherwise I have to send it back. Honestly, I can't believe how much trouble I'm having with online ordering lately.

Okay TT, I needed a smile today. I hope you are going to wear more than a bra and a hat!

Diane,
The clothes I slept in were good enough to go out (long sleeve shirt and cotton pants). Ha ha! Now I realize how funny that must have sounded! Ha ha
I can relate to your online ordering woes! I ordered the perfect earrings for my sister in law. They arrived yesterday with only ONE earring on the card. Agghhhh. Whoever packed the box had to see that the other was missing from the card. Booo.
Our internet is sporadic today as well. I think it’s the weather.

So I just ordered some Christmas gifts. 1 - i inadvertently used my daughter's gift card and discount 2 - why is she using my amazon account as her own personal account 3 - I swear I typed in my credit card number
I hope she can cancel the order and I will reorder it Then I realized we spent WAYYYY to much money on son - but he only asked for three things. DH got home tools that DH decided DS wanted
My DD sent a list with many smaller items so I pretty much ordered that list. Oldest son will be tackled tonight

TT, I ordered a case of canned vegetables online, and the case arrived in the box with one can missing! I thought the same thing, the person packing it either didn't notice a can was missing or didn't care that a can was missing and sent it anyway--either way is not good!
Oh, and by the way, when I tried to place my Chewy order they are out of stock on 2 of the 3 items I wanted! And I rarely have problems with Chewy.
I know it's 2 weeks until Christmas, but I don't think a lot of people are buying a bag of dry dog food as a gift...maybe I'm wrong?
Next:
Go outside and fill the last empty water bottles from the rain barrel, drain the rest of it, and turn it back upside down Move laundry to dryer

Now I'm freezing, as I was draining the water my feet got soaking wet. It's really chilly out there, and I just saw a forecast for next week and they said we will get "Siberian air" by next Thursday.
I need to warm up.
