Good morning! Thanks for starting the thread, lennon!
I woke up at 4:30 and couldn't fall back to sleep, but I fell asleep at 10 so that's okay. Another good night for the dog.
It's raining right now but I think it's going to not amount to much. Earlier in the week they said the whole weekend would be stormy, then they said Saturday only, now it seems like it will just be the morning. Other parts of the country are still supposed to get storms, though. Our temps will drop through the day and we'll have a few cold days now.
Yesterday I decided to try an Amazon Prime grocery delivery since I could get free delivery as a new customer, I just have to pay a tip. I've been avoiding this because the service fees are so high but I forgot/didn't want to bother looking for a few refrigerated things on my last trip to Walmart and I also have been avoiding getting a case of water since it takes up so much room in the cart. So I will try this but unfortunately it can't become a regular thing. It will come some time between 8 and 2 which is a wide window so I will keep checking my email since there will be frozen things in the delivery.
I hope everyone has a productive weekend--just a little over 2 weeks til Christmas!
Diane

Good Saturday morning everyone!
I was awake during the night as well!
Good friend dropped off her car for me to use today. #thankful My tire is now scheduled for delivery on monday. the only issue I will have tomorrow is getting my mom to see my dad. Time to start hitting up my friends who have offered to help
I have showered, i have dealt with a small pile in the guest room/ I have tried on more clothes - bagged up what is going and hung what is staying. I have also been gathering shoes to corral them in one location.
I just realized the time! I need to go and get my mom for our fair-trade shopping expedition.

Morning Everyone!!! Thanks for getting the weekend started lennonDiane and ohblondie I did not sleep very well either. It is supposed to be warmer here this weekend. I am hoping that helps me get more done outside and in the garage. I am also buying a slowcooker today. My old when went pfffttt and I was trying to not have one anymore as it takes up room but I keep thinking of easy things to cook and of course they are slow cooker items. Today when I get it and get it ready, I will make a potato and cabbage dish. I am going to house prep most of the day and take it bit by bit. The boys are up and ready to help me. Wishing everyone a good and productive weekend!!! |

Happy Weekend!
it is mild here again, I am so grateful as a dog mom who is out doing walks all the time to not be worried about ice.
yesterday I worked from home but it was really busy - I had hoped for a quieter day so I could do laundry or something but it was too busy even to throw a load in the wash.
I have a new colleague who is a real pain in the axx. I am not sure how to deal with him. I dislike him so much that i Have to struggle to be polite - he is all over the place and will send us rush jobs but he is out of his sandbox. I will talk to his boss on Monday. he is new and thinks he knows everything and is arrogant and unorganized. ugh. he has been around for a few months and I only dislike him more and more. he is actually a lot like chaos. so he was up to his tricks late friday and just ugh.
I did manage to get some hard stuff done on Friday afternoon, then picked up puppy from daycare, went to christmas party, came home and finished my card!!! yes I have to pay expedited shipping! I do every year!
today i need to go to the mall. walk puppy later today before sunset.
plus cleaning and the usual housework. I have to see if I can fix my vac.
I paid a few bills yesterday. credit card debt is so bad! I have one card that I am working to get down to zero. I only use it for some online auto payments. Each month I then pay the auto payments amount, plus the interest, and some more beyond that to chip away at the balance. but the credit card company has a low minimum payment that if I only paid that this would grow to a huge sum.

Good morning ohblondie and TML!
TML, I keep forgetting about my slowcooker, I used to use it all the time. Maybe the next time I shop in-store I'll get some things that I only use when I make something in the slowcooker--like garlic cloves, that is not something I keep on hand.
I got a text asking me to okay a substitution on my grocery order but couldn't see anywhere to respond, the link took me to a list of my items but there was no other information, so I ignored it. This is why I hate making these orders, I would so rather just go to the store myself.
Because of waiting for the order I'm going to mail my cards tomorrow morning instead of today. I think the rain has stopped but it's windy out there. The dog still hasn't wanted to go out.

Good morning bree! Your mentioning work reminds me of a quote I saw online recently when talking about stressful jobs--it made me think of you and all the other people who have terrible bosses--the person said "no one quits a job, they quit a manager."

OK - time for a slow cooker meal tonight!!
I brought my mom to the fair trade sale. It was much better last year. We bought wooden puzzles and cute stuff last year. THis year, nothing!
CAme home and helped DH shower and get clean clothes on. The flannel shirts I bought last night will go back as they dont slide over the splint. the sleeves are too narrow and tight.
I just finished up some leftovers for lunch. In about 45 mins I go get my mom to take her to visit my dad
OK - I am going to go do something to knock down this mess

Diane I have seen that quote before! it is true; also you don't work for company x, you work for your boss because it can be such a different experience from dept to dept.
so on this busy Saturday so close to Christmas I lollygagged.
then I went through a stack of mail from this week, I have had three fun evening events in a row but I neglected the basics!
took a shower and dressed
cleaned litter
actually went online and set up a meeting for Monday with PITA's boss to nip this in the bud (I outrank PITA)
played a smidge with puppy
did poop patrol
Now I am going to put on my make up and head to the mall for about three hours, to come home and walk puppy before sunset.

So my groceries still aren't here, I guess they don't do things the way the other store did, they pick the order and must have freezers to keep it in until they deliver it later. I finally looked at my Amazon account page and see that it says it will be delivered between 12 and 2. The other store would pick your order and immediately deliver it.
The dog finally went out a little while ago--I don't know how her bladder is so strong for a 15 year old dog, she went from 8pm to 11am without peeing...
I will do a few lists today, even though it's almost time for lunch. I didn't call my decluttering client yet because I thought I might get a call about my order so I'll do that first.
TO DO:
Call decluttering client 10 minutes on plants Restock water in fridge Delete 10 hard emails

My order came, 10 minutes after I got an email saying it was running late and that I would get another update in 2 hours! So I guess all the delivery services are a little unorganized--probably because they don't know how many delivery people they will get on a given day. One item was out of stock and they gave an acceptable substitute, so it was okay.
Next:
Cook some veggies for lunch and dinner 10 minutes on paper Take a Walmart survey Delete 10 hard emails

Happy Saturday, everypony!
this is our deadline weekend, as DVD's son will be visiting next week. But as I have been out of pocket, I need to rethink the decorations. Right now the LR/DR is full of holiday boxes and bags. Its frustrating. I've done my best to keep up with dishes and duds; haven't been able to deal with dinner. The outdoors stuff will be done in time, at least. And the tree is up and beribboned.
I think I have done enough holiday shopping. except for party food, but we have a week to prep for that. I just need to be careful not to relapse! got some cold symptom meds from urgent care yesterday, and tested negative for everything so far. was able to sleep in the recliner DVD's mom gave us this morning.
gonna go help DVD, brb
