I took my mom to a special anniversary event this afternoon and it wiped out the rest of the day. It was great seeing people but it went much too long. I went through mcdonalds and got her a cheeseburger. I dropped her off and got her settled. I came home and heated up leftovers for dinner. I dropped one piece of chicken and made Cali's day! I sat and watched some britbox while I ate Now I will have to force myself up as I want to wash my dad's clothes next. I also pulled a pile of clothes out and I need to try them on and do the keep or donate thing. I really need to find the rest of the pieces for the clothing rack....

Good luck with your clothing sort, ohblondie!
I'm almost ready to go downstairs, before I do I will order Target gift cards, this weekend they have the 10% off sale on gift cards if you're a Target Circle member.
Good night everyone, see you in the morning!

Saturday! lennon thanks for starting the thread reve glad you feel better catcats a 3 1/2 hour call! that must have been fun mylittlescholar good luck w decorating Diane glad you had a good night with your pup! ohblondie how fun for clothes to be too big!!! I had a pretty productive work at home day on Friday ran some errands at lunch - got a few groceries, not a full run, just the essentials like catfood! returned bottles after work picked up puppy from daycare and she just zonked out on the love seat for the night. she must have played extra hard! a relative stopped by for a visit before bed, I went in the spare bedroom and gathered up donations and trash for the 2023 challenge today i had no plans that materialized except my BIL was coming over to fix my light switch. my chandelier in my dining room stopped working and I figured I had to get a new one -- which would have been painful as it would mean having an electrician install. BIL thought it was probably just the switch and he was right. so kind of him to fix it and now I have proper light and can put a lamp back in the living room before BIL arrived, I cleaned the litter and cleaned up two spots where girlcat (I think) had thrown up in the basement which were in the path to the fusebox. took out trash did a pick up put away did the dishes and put them away after BIL left I took puppy to the park for an afternoon walk. It was very gray here, and there was a light misty rain, but it was in the 40s which seemed warm. the park was pretty empty but there were a few dog walkers. so glad to get a walk in before sunset. came home and binged for a bit then thought I must get my items for the 2023 goal. the cats are fed. girlcat had her medicine I had had tentative plans for going out to dinner tonight but my friend is sick. so I have had a quiet day. I should have done a lot that I did not do ...like go Christmas shopping, work on my card, go over my finances, do laundry, try to fix my vac. I have to be like Scarlett O'Hare and say tomorrow!

Thanks, friends, for your nice words about D. and me. She was only 15 when she lost her mom and we took her on vacation , camping at a beach, that year. Not long after, her mom did pass away, and my DH got my DD out to be with D. right away. When my DD lived in another state, they didn't get together and she does not live close to me, but now I see her with DD every so often. Last year, she did say to me that I was her other mom. Both DD and I do think that losing her nice mom at such a tender age really did affect her a lot. She's a sweetheart and a very good mom herself. I took a shower and washed my hair. Put the wet wash into the dryer and I guess I will go get them and fold and hang them. I am tired and don't want to !! I did carpet sweep rugs. catcats

Good morning!
Mostly good night with the dog, but I still couldn't fall asleep til around midnight. I think it's because I'm on edge listening in case she starts panting. She did actually pant for about 5 minutes last night but then stopped and was okay--but when she starts my anxiety goes up because I think she will keep going.
Yesterday turned out to be pretty productive so I'll try for that again today.

time to get moving

hi everypony!
I am a bit crabby as I am underslept, a bit depressed, and of course so much to do. Plus the lack of any kind of stretching is taking its toll. I got into some yoga friendly clothing, but DVD hijacked me this morning so we worked on the list and then jumped in.
DONE: DVD made brekkie got dressed
reviewed list reviewed North Pole sign design helped DVD pull all the electrical bins out to the porch updated the list researched items to pick up from the home improvement store researched holiday home tours chatted w/ LD and 3 updated log checked online balance checked email updated calendar
how is it already 1:00 pm? ack!
NEXT UP: review shopping list and schedule w/ DVD order items
ask DF is he wants to go to train show ask R if U is having a party decide what's for dinner--DPs? do some yoga
ON DECK:
change clothing
pick up items do some paper processing

Thank you for the good wishes folks.
I had to go out and about last night, and had some scary misadventures with my car in the snow and ice. I ended up trying to correct a wrong turning by going back up a hill my car just could not handle and getting stuck. Luckily I was just round the corner from my destination and could summon the help of some strapping gentlemen to help me out, but it was a full on damsel in distress moment. Taking a detour managed to get us out again, and then there were a few skids and some abortive parking attempts as I got home, so I am full on exhausted today and not looking forward to venturing out to work tomorrow! I also discovered I hadn't hit save on the changes to my grocery order so all the stuff I ordered for today and tomorrow didn't come, so I had to redo it and get a second order tomorrow. Definitely time to start counting down until Christmas time off!
Done: Achieved dining table zero Threw out some expired food from the fridge that I had missed earlier in the week Re-meal planned and ordered groceries Made lunch for tomorrow Set out clothes for tomorrow Went through all of the deliveries in the last few days and opened them all and disposed of the packaging Brought Christmas tree downstairs Brought first half of decorations downstairs Put up Christmas tree and lights (decorations still to go on, but I like to do things in stage)
