((( ohblondie))) One year I had to skip Christmas w/ my S.O. and BFF who I lived with. We decided to have it on Valentine's Day. It was so much fun it we did it every time I went across the country with family. The worst part was people making fun of me for still having my tree up. They thought my Valentine Tree story was just a cover.
I painted five of the six ponies. Taking a break to rest my back. Need to go check my list.

Good morning!
After a bad night on Tuesday, for the last two nights the dog is back to no panting after going out at 8. So, fingers crossed that it will continue.
I got a decent sleep and my aches and pains are a lot better this morning. Now that my big shopping trip is over I will concentrate on other things.
It's raining at the moment and will rain on and off today, hopefully it will not be raining when the dog is ready to go out.
Diane

Working from home today
I did get the recycle bin out last night, garbage bin was not very full DH is meeting with the surgeon right now to determine a plan/next steps for his arm I am back to feeling overwhelmed - I walk into DS's old room and dont know where to start or what to do, so I walk into the guest room and feel the same. I think I will go start a load of laundry - that always helps.

hey ohblondie I am working from home today and possibly have no meetings - the only one that I had was rescheduled! I will try to fly under the radar today to avoid inadvertently triggering a meeting. I loved your comment that our jobs are to supervise staff for acuracy not make them happy! so the PT employee saga! - person complained and said the gig might not be working for them; I replied that certain parts of the job might not meet their needs and expectations - they wrote a very nasty and rude email back blaming me for something that was clearly on them. I wrote back saying lets talk and why didn't you just do a certain action that would have prevented their upset and was totally on them. weird. i am shocked by the rudeness of the note though. they are very entitled. the irony is that they are saying I treated them with disrespect while they are to me. sigh. I guess this will all blow over. why don't i just let them go? they have special expertise and here. but maybe i am making a mistake ... i updated Chaos on situation. so I had the big meeting at work on big work problem and it went well. This was with a higher up and they immediately understood the problem, agreed with us, and realized they need to talk to other higher ups. So I feel good about that, whatever the outcome will be (as those two big wigs will need to spar it out) it will not be my battle. I did pick up girlcats meds yesterday, filled gas tank. did dishes. I worked in the office all afternoon, it was a WAH day and I could have left after big meeting but the truth is I am often more energized and engaged in the office. My extrovert half thrives there. today my introvert self is happy to have a quite meetingless day! i have a lot of work work to do today. also a health plan deadline day decision. I dropped puppy off at daycare, when I tell her it is a daycare day she does a little jig. so cute. my vacuum stopped working! i am going to try and trouble shoot. the vac is older, maybe 25 years! not sure. one of those dyson uprights. I hope I can fix it. Diane it was so exciting to see my trash picked up! Now I have to remind myself about that bill dispute.

Good morning ohblondie and bree!
Ohblondie, I would concentrate on setting up the reading chair, because then when things get overwhelming you can take a 10 minute reading break and reset your brain!
Bree, I'm glad your meeting yesterday went well, and I hope today remains meeting-free.
The dog did want to go out but didn't do everything so we'll be going out again soon. It's drizzling but lightly so she didn't mind being out in it.
TO DO:
Call decluttering client 10 minutes on plants Restock water in fridge Delete 10 hard emails

mostly productive on work work now lunch break. for half of it I will look for items to reach my 2023 goal and half running an errand.
the rain has arrived -- it is gray and gloomy and reading-a-book-or-watching-a-show-and-falling-asleep weather! But I must get my long work list done!

I just dropped off two boxes with DS one box was Kcups we no longer use and a mug, they will probably stay at work with him the other box was clean clothes I forgot to drop off the dust ruffle thing for his bed I picked up a check from my mom and will bring it over to my father to sign, then I will deposit it I wiped out two small drawers in a desk unit and put clean PJ's in it. I will use those drawers temporarily I also folded and out away some clean clothes I did run a load of laundry and need to get it hung

My dad signed the check While I was there I fed him. He kept telling me to slow down and I kept telling him I was on my lunch break I did deposit the check - though his endorsement almost completely covered my mom's signature I stopped and grabbed cheese and a cup of peppermint stick mocha coffee I had chocolate mocha sugar free creamer at home, it tastes good!
I have been working working working to stay caught up
I need to find more hangars I know I have them someplace!
When I dropped off the stuff with my son, I asked him if he needed a christmas tree. He said yes but a small one. I said come over to the car. I pulled out a small 1-2 foot tree set into a pair of black boots. He was so excited! I have a few ornaments at home for him. and another item out of the car.
OK - I must keep working
