Where has this year gone?? Today I am very tired. Part of it is because I have so much work to do at the office, and I come home with all the shopping/wrapping/sorting out - cooking/baking, etc. etc. to do - and pretty much by myself - with lots of help with grandchildren on the baking, for sure! That is the best part that I dearly love.
We've had so many issues with our beloved pet. So much $$ has been spent and yet, it was needed to. I tell myself she is our 'child' and I would not hold back on our child. But then, I wouldn't have them spayed either. LOL But that is over as well. We put her in the pet hotel over Thanksgiving as we would not be home most of the time. This Christmas we put her in the pet hotel Christmas eve and got her out yesterday. She seemed pretty normal yesterday, but today she is listless and I can't get her to go pee outside! And it's raining, so every time I think she should need to go - I have to stand out in the rain - only for her to just walk around and do nothing. I think Hubby has decided since I'm home - although I am also sick with a cold - it is MY job to take care of her because he was gone all morning, then came home for a long nap in his chair. He's gone to a doctor appointment now and Sheeba is laying on her bed. Seems to have an upset tummy. I hope it isn't something else going wrong. sigh.
Christmas was wonderful. Even though I had a lot to do, I think this is rated as one of our best Christmas. Everyone seemed happy with what they received from us. I really messed up on gifts - I put the wrong names on some packages - and others I jsut had to go 'oh well'. But everyone got something they needed/wanted or I surprised them. I like that part best. The men always love it when I find a special t-shirt that applies to them.
I received several things that I had either asked for or was wanting. I received my air fryer (now to figure out how to use it), gift cards, hair clips (which I had asked for and love!) sweaters, hoodie, soft socks, house shoes, jammies, so many things I needed/wanted and I was very well taken care of. Right now it is hoodie on and soft socks on feet. Feels good to be warm.
Hubby has a heart doctor appointment this afternoon. I don't think it is anything serious so am not worried. His regular EKG showed a blip and they are jsut checking it out. and he is just getting home so will see what he says. The doctor says his heart is excellent. But, they forgot to check the aorta in the ultrasound so have scheduled that for January. Other than that - he is fine.
Came down sick during the night yesterday... so worked from home on Thursday... and now it has evolved into a good cold. Runny nose, sneezing. But, I'm taking my olive leaf extract and black elderberry syrup nearly every couple hours so I think I'm getting over it pretty good. It may linger a day or two, but at lesat the worst is not happening.
I've managed to have the grandchildren over except one family to bake cookies this year - and it looks like I will have them over tomorrow (Saturday). It won't be too bad as they are all old enough to make things themselvse. To save time, I should go to the store in the mornign and buy already made sugar cookie dough so that they can just decorate and I can save a lot of mess. Having a couple over at a time isn't bad - but this time I'll have five of them. Yeah, I think I'll make a run to the store - or make up a big batch of sugar cookie dough myself and have it ready for them. Maybe I will do that. I love having them all over, but hubby is getting to be more and more of a grouch at times. ... enough said about that.
Need to hush... finish working.... have so many projects I want to get done.... but not enough time to do them. Oh well, sometime.
Blessings!
