He came and picked up some mail to talk to older DS. I like that they spend time hanging out together.I ate leftovers for supper. they were meh. I like leftover chinese or italian food betterI made my mom's bed. I found a way to tuck the larger comforter in so that it is not a tripping hazard and it keeps the bed looking neat. We put up the family nativity set in her apartment. It was purchased at a 5 and dime store. in 1960 or 61. Once you selected the manger, you picked a MAry and a Joseph and a baby Jesus. Her set has three wise men, a shepherd, two sheep and a donkey and a cow with a curly horn. And an angel. she told me tonight she wishes she had another shephard boy. She said she is going to enjoy it one last year then I can take it. I always thought I was the one that pulled the curly horn out (it was coiled like a spring) but she said my sister did it. Hurray - I let go of the guilt I have carried forever! Little miss perfect (sister) will deny it.....The big news is, I went to visit my DF and the aide told me he ate lunch in the dining room and HE FED HIMSELF!! Wow, I was ecstatic! And when it came time for supper, he wanted to go back into the dining room!! I pushed him up to a table with 3-4 other guys and left him there for his meal! Many of the gentlemen residents need to be fed so the aides like getting them together and they can feed two or mor at a time. He knew a couple of people by name.....he is finally adjusting! He did not feed himself dinner - but that was OK!I came home and I have been putzing around. I tried to accomplish something in the bedrooms and did not get too far. I did get some of the stuff out of the front seat of the car. even though I washed all of the dishes I magically have a sink full again. And when working in the guest room I found a missing plate!I am so wiped out - I have missed taking my medication for awhile, since I was so sick. Once I post this I am going to go look for it and start taking it again.Tomorrow I have off - DH is having surgery to reattach his bicep to his arm. I will work to get more done. I have already lost track of what day it is! And it is only monday!

He sounds like such a nice man.Today I did the dailies, and I was hoping to do some weeding. It didn't work out that way though. I made a business call , regarding the property taxes and was waiting for a call back which did not come through today. So I couldn't go out and weed. There were several things which happened that required me to get on the phone and get people to do things. Grr. Eventually, I got it all done, but the inside and outside did NOT get done. Oh well.My dear brother, my only sibling, died 10 years ago today. I thought of him a lot today. I always cherished him deeply. Not sure what I will do tomorrow, but I think some writing of Christmas cards will be part of it.My best to all.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it here, but there is at least one cardinal that calls me to put out seed. The cardinals come at dusk and before dawn, the other birds wait for light because it's safer, but the cardinals are out when it's mostly dark. So every day at dusk I hear a cardinal on the porch making his ticking sound until I come out to put a little bit of seed for him, when I go out on the porch he flies away but comes right back to eat it when I go back inside. This morning I heard him out there making his sound, so I went out to give him some seed. Now I feel bad that he probably is out there calling every morning but I'm not up here that early so I don't feed him. I don't like to leave a lot of seed out overnight since I don't want to attract mice to the porch, otherwise I would just put some out before I go to bed and it would be there for the early birds.Oh, and when I went outside it's snowing--I don't remember a forecast of snow. I still got about 6 hours of sleep last night with only 2 wakeups, so not too bad.Ohblondie, my family had one of those nativity sets too, in fact, I only got rid of the last remaining statues from it when I moved here. Ours had an orange-ish bull with two of those spring horns! I took a photo of it before I gave it away because it was always my favorite of the figurines.Catcats, so you had yet another loss of a family member during holiday time.Today I hope to finish my personal cards so I can have them all sent out early, and I still have cleaning up to do on this floor.Diane

I feel like I have strep throat, but it doesn't look or smell like it. DVD picked a challenge that involved making a Christmas dessert. He went to the store to buy ingredients for an eggnog pie. he made a lovely dinner and I supervised dessert. the recipe is from a YouTuber who tries out vintage dishes. Christmas on a plate!I took apart pics and put them back together. I need to attach them securely to the base and then I can put it out. The wreath is quite exuberant! silly, even. I love it. We also worked together to attach the word "South" in eight different languages to the directional sign on the North Pole. (every direction is south from that point!) I also coated the inside of the light fixture on the top with some red paint I found in a jug in the clearance section. Last year the light was so bright you could see it two blocks away!DONE:cleaned up messes from humidifier, kitty, and putting my headband headphones in the dregs of my throat coat teamade some more teaON DECK:download app for smart outdoor plugTODAYs GOALS:spray sealer on rebar and framesmake room for train tableput train table togetherput tree upput giant ribbons on the tree

Yesterday I went to a job fair and including travel it was from 2pm til 8pm door to door. 500 people showed up. We got burger King on the way home. My electric scooter arrived yesterday. I put it together and went for a mile around the neighborhood with DH so he could get out. I like it even though I need to improve my balance a little. It has a 25 mile range and top speed of 15mph.I cruze at about 4mph to be safe so much faster than walking, will be good for small shopping trips. We had a bike crash helmet already.I loaded the DW yesterday Ran one load of laundry which dh emptied because the drum is so big I barely reach the bottom to empty. Than he carries the basket upstairs because it's heavy and then I hang on doors.today it is dry.I vacuumed the sofa of peanut shells and the floorEmptied the fridge of old food and then cleaned 2 shelvesIt's getting messy everywhere by the day. I try and pupa but it's getting worse not better. Not sure if there is a long term solution. I need to hire someone I think! We are getting all trash out on time Out later for work

I have meeting in 7 minutes!Yesterday to get to my 2013 challenge I cleaned the front closet. I did manage to get some stuff to donate or trash but mostly sorted out DD momentous like her first communion banner (from over 10 years ago) her sports banner from senior day and her grad gown up in the closet with her old Christmas dresses. Organized hats, gloves, scarves, boots- all the paraphernalia of life in the NE. So it looks better The animals were interested -puppy grabbed a pair of gloves and I retrieved them all wet!!I need to do Christmas! Tonight I am going to out some decorations up. Work is ok. Very busy. Feeling overwhelmed. Telling myself this is just something I do to keep busy during the day. My life needs a reboot I am keeping it simple right now I am focusing on being in time and eating veggies. I love vegetables but I rarely feel like preparing them when I get home from work after dog walks. So that is my goal Meeting on one minute!
