Good Morning! It's a day of "soaking rain" here and temps in the 40s. Good day to be indoors! I did a short Fitness Walking video before breakfast and now I'm trying to psych myself up to do the grocery shopping. Yesterday was such a nice blue sky sunny day in the 50s. People were working in their yards or walking their dogs & kids and everyone seemed to have a friendly wave and hello. I'll try to keep that in my heart as I head out to do my chores today!

Hi Carol, thanks for getting us started. I am back at work today and finding I am a bit cranky. I think it was a hard landing coming in with the unit where my office is on being quarantined. I am glad my officemate is out this week so I can just have a quiet place to work. I have a two week vacation coming up in 3 weeks so I know I can make it.
Carol: do you make your own pastry for your pies? I am trying to learn how to make pie pastry.
Not much will get done at home today because I know I'll be tired from work.
Monday possibilities: Water plants Dr. appt. Put away Fall decorations Make breakfast and lunch for work Make birthday card for friend Online shopping Evening routine

I guess I missed yesterday all together. I did stop at the Dollar Store to get some fun Christmas eyeglasses with different Santa and Reindeer designs for a little Covid safe get together today. There's a group of Social Workers here that get together once a month to support each other. Also got gas and that is as far as I got. Went home to Chinese food that DS kindly picked up and then crashed in my chair till bedtime. It has been so busy at work (I am very thankful to have a job), however, I barely have energy to get my jammies on when I get home. Thursday possibilities: Meet with coworkers for support group Put together bags for the support group Gather trivia for community meeting Do some shopping online for DH Put Fall decorations away (they've been sitting on the table just waiting to be put in basket) One load of laundry Pack breakfast and lunch Evening routine

Carol: the event was fun. Less than 6 of us in a conference room with plenty of space to be six feet apart. It will be the only Christmas event I attend in person. My church small group is going to have a Christmas party with white elephant gifts online. We have to deliver the gift to our secret person by the party date. I think it's going to be fun even though it's on Zoom. This weekend I want to decorate our trees and work on my Christmas cards. Need to do some online shopping also. Friday possibilities Make chicken wings for DH Dry clothes Send donations Text contractor Be sure DH and DS get decorations out of the attic Lunch with co-worker (always 6 feet apart at work in a open area) Fill RX containers for this weekend Evening routine

Happy Saturday. I actually am finding I am a little cranky this morning which is unlike me especially on a Saturday. I like to get up on Saturday and have it calm and quiet as I drink my coffee. However, DS was up and fixing his breakfast and I just wanted some alone time. Also, last night I thought I was catching a stomach virus because I just felt so ill. Feeling better today and I know once I get dressed and moving I will be in a better mood. DH did cook me breakfast and I am very thankful for that.
Weekend possibilities get 2 secret Santa gifts work on Christmas cards decorate order tamales need to clear off surfaces x15 min fill RX containers for weekend and week schedule calls for my sister and my friend online gift ordering devotion online church clean out fridge evening routine
