hi everypony!
DVD's son emailed him at 11:30 last night to tell him he was in town (with his mom). I slept in this morning and then joined them for lunch. It was amusing listening to three dudes on the spectrum socializing. Well two, DVD hardly spoke.
I am feeling much better but still fatigued. Relieved that I have almost 24 hours before the housecleaners are here. Hoping to have stuff up and the rest at least stashed, if not donated or put away.
DONE: got dressed decided on where we would eat invited DPs, DM has a sore throat DF dropped of mail/package at the restaurant dropped off DVD's son picked up his car went to thrift store (end of year sale) unloaded car took meds updated chart updated log checked email checked calendar
NEXT UP: video the doll choir
retrieve phone and check online balance discuss dinner w/ DVD alternate between resting and working

So I went to my mom's to help her figure out what was wrong with her email Don't know what was wrong or what I did but I got her signed back on (she had to give me her password) Went and got ice cream for my dad went to visit him while there my mom called and was having more issues (i think she was browsing as a guest in her gmail so I said I would swing by and help my sister then called and said she had my mom on the other line and was trying to help her getn online/inter her gmail and my mom was calling me for her password So I gave my sister the password that my mom had given me I left my dad's to go help my mom I get to my mom's and she was back online
So I came home....... I have my dad's laundry but I left it in the car and I am too comfortable inside and I do not want to go back into the cold to get it. So I will wash it tomorrow. I am going to let the dog out, wash some dishes then go to bed

Hi Everyone !! I have been busy today and am feeling it. My legs feel stiff and sore, but now I am sitting down , finally, and so that's OK. This morning, I did laundry and spent a lot of time doing PUPA in the DR. Well, the kitchen too. The DR had packages in there that I didn't have time to deal with the last few days. Then a delivery came. And then the Chewy delivery. After lunch, I spent over an hour filling out a bunch of forms for a business thing. I sure hope it goes through as it will save me some money if it does. I finally put away 2 loads of dried clothes and I took a shower. Forgot to say that this morning, I also changed out all the cat scratch pads. There are shreds everywhere. Maybe I will vacuum tomorrow. I had the frozen turkey and cranberry sauce for supper, left from Thanksgiving. ( Well, I thawed it first, .) Wishing good things for all, catcats

Last night was one for the books After all the craziness I went to local grocery store and got some fried chicken for DH. He loves it and I thought it was something he could eat with one hand. I also got some mac and cheese and some frozen vegetables to cook with it,. I selected shredded brussel sprouts and cooked them to go with the chicken. OMG - they were so good! time to be more planful about incorporating more vegetables in my diet. I looked all over for eggplant fries and there were none to be found.
I sorted through a small pile of clothes and I have two bags to go to my mom's friend I also attacked a large pile outside the bathroom door and reduced that pile by 1/2.
As far as shopping - I have a few gift cards to purchase and I think it is all done but the wrapping.
Friday night I was invited to do cookie baking and decorating with DS's GF and her DD. that should be fun.
OK - I had better get to working - I was late this morning and I need to catch up

ohblondie & desposito thank you & y’all are so correct. bree & catcats Sounds like you both have a good understanding of my job situation. Thank you, too. reve Yes, no one should be yelled at the way he did! Thank you. womble It is very draining working for him. That is true. I had a little talk with boss, yesterday, and will be surprised if he fires me, now. I brought it up to him. I think we are good as far as him firing me, but I still am considering quitting very seriously. I’m glad I had already scheduled this afternoon & tomorrow off. desposito wrote “ The dog wanted to go out early so I also fed her early. She's feeling really good today, she went up the stairs before I could even come and help her!” I LOVE THAT!!! After work, DH surprised me by cleaning /straightening a bunch of stuff in the den & what will be our office (formerly guest room, then office/junk room). I cleared off part of our dining room table & some of the dining room floor. Put bag in bag of bags to be reused. 1 empty shoebox put by back door to be recycled. Put shoebox with new shoes in my bedroom closet on my new shoe shelves. Put framed pictures & a couple other things in DS’s old room. Some in 2 drawers & 1 in the closet. Put beautiful hanging art piece in that closet, too from table. Moved some things to the Buffet. Put a few whatnots in drawers in DS’s old room Put 25 papers in recycle bag Swiped off top of Buffet. Straightened a big pile of papers. Removed new shoes in shoebox from top of my bedroom dresser & put in new shoe shelves in my bedroom closet. Put 2 bottles in recycle bag Put fan from patio in big bag & put in my car. Dropped off my car at hotel where DrBro & DSil will be staying. DH & I picked them up from airport-very late arrival. Took them to In & Out Burger for after midnight meal. . Exactly what I did NOT need. But we enjoyed all being together. Carried fan up in hotel for them. DH helped them with all their luggage. Cd

Diane glad your pup and you had that good night cando good luck with your situation at work! i think the boss would be nuts to fire you and good luck as you consider if you want to stay. things that have kept me in my job are the benefits, a 35 hour week versus a 40 which is so much better! and retirement, stuff like that. but I do look to see what is out there! catcats you inspire me as you just keep getting stuff done! yesterday was not a great day in terms of my productivity. I was very productive at work, came home, walked the dog and then I went to bed to warm up and wasted an entire evening on my phone! ugh. I stayed up really late too. I am kind of down due to so many factors and last night I think my depression just got the best of me. today I feel kind of in a daze. it is a work from home day but I'll go in in the afternoon because i have one big project that will be easier to work on there than here. I am feeling a mix of sadness and anxiety over my broader family situation for the holidays, my financial situation with gift buying (it is so hard for me not to over spend on DD!!) work stuff, DD being sick and her struggles this semester, living alone again with DD gone...just sort of a big soupy mix of stuff. I have so much to be grateful for so I want to focus on all the blessings unearned I have!! being productive makes me much happier too. so today is a new day, a new start! so far fed the animals, took out trash and recycling, I had been disputing my bill with the trash company but I just paid it this morning, would rather have it be done. made an appt for DD with the doc when she comes home next week puppy had a great walk last night. She found a stick to carry part of the way, then we came upon a basketball just deserted in a field so she was very happily playing with that too. She would be a good hunter dog I think (I am not into hunting one iota) because she runs up to big bushes and evergreen trees and jumps up and shakes big branches, flushing the poor birds out. She is just so full of joy and energy! She puts a smile on my face! today I have to, I must - try to fix my vac, mop kitchen floor, fold and put away a load of laundry, buy cat food. finish online shopping. I also have to go to a wake of a former classmate. have a good day all

Good morning everyone!
I couldn't sleep so got up really early figuring I could drink my normal amount of water for several hours and then bring a urine sample in to the doctor. That way it won't seem like I'm dehydrated because I never drink before going out anywhere. I got the sample now I have a couple of hours before I can go drop it off since they don't open til 12, during which I won't drink anything so I won't have to use the bathroom there. I also have to pick up my prescriptions. The high today and tomorrow is around 50.
I've got a bit addicted to Survivor Australia
I'm never watched the Survivor programs although I know what they're about, and I'm sure it's a lot more dangerous in Australia. There are some formidable (and fascinating!) creatures there!
Yes, it's good to remind ourselves of all we have, even with problems we are so much better off than so many people in other parts of the world.
Diane

ohblondie it is good to know we are not alone !! I am working at home, that would have been an extremely almost unheard of thing pre pandemic. so another blessing! I finally mopped my kitchen floor. only took me 15 minutes. needed it so badly! I also just cleaned bathroom sink and toilet bowl. mostly I am working! I have realized that i make my life much harder for myself through procrastination (well i knew this ) but with my work emails. I will gloss over the ones that I don't need this minute, then I forget about them, then they become urgent rushes. so I have a mini resolution to read my work emails thoroughly and make a note of the ones that require action later on, so I can keep track. I have these little resolutions -- be on time, eat more veggies, read my work email thoroughly each day. "in order to form a more perfect union" ... I think of my little resolutions as "in order to form a more perfect bree"
