I took M to school, then H to speech, got gas, took H to school, stopped for my grocery pickup and now I'm at work. With a bra on. It is not delightful.

I just spent about an hour creating the 2022 calendar I give to grandparents for Christmas. Super efficient at work today. So I should probably try to get something accomplished soon!
I don't know that I'm going to do cards this year. I'm not really feeling it yet.

Oh man. Thanks for the reminder. I need to do the calendar. And the cards. I also need to try to put up the lights. I'm behind this year.

If you aren't particular about where your calendar comes from, go to Groupon and search. I paid $16 for 5 calendars, plus another $9.99 for shipping. That's how I always buy my calendars.

mwhip I did my christmas cards, but I need to do a calendar. I did them both on Saturday night. I fell victim to the coupon that ended at midnight, and then of course a new one popped up the next day so I didn't need to, but either way, it's done. I do 3 calendars every year (1 for us and 1 for each set of in laws).

I did snapfish, they were buy 1 get 2 free, so it was $25 for 3. I think now they are doing a $7 each promotion, which is even better

I've done nothing. No cards, no calendars. Last night I was supposed to do a riddle from the elf for the advent calendar. Instead I got some starburst from Cadence's candy drawer and put them in today's box. She was very excited for the starburst, little does she know they were already hers.

I'm beyond bored and tired. Work is slow, which is good, but I'm stuck around home because Lola is still on exercise restriction. And there's nothing for me to really do anyway. I guess I could go start wrapping gifts but I have a feeling Lola will try to steel the paper and bark when I kick her out of the room. Poor girl needs to get her energy out and is a huge pain in the ass when she doesn't. At least it turned into a nice day so I can keep the windows open for a bit.

I came to post and saw all the posts about calendars so then I got distracted. Bought a few Groupon Shutterfly deals since I need 5 copies of the same calendar for my family every year. I still need to do cards, but we didn’t do family pics this year so I need to decide what pics to use.
It’s so cold and windy here today. I don’t want to go outside. N has her well check after school so that’s the only time I will. At least it warms back up later this week.
Flooring guy is finishing up today and painter starts tomorrow or Wednesday. So fun seeing things happening!

I had a lovely day at home with the kids. We stayed in pjs until 11, watched a silly Christmas movie, played games, read stories and cuddles on the big bed. It was very nice. I had my first meeting with the company doctor (occupational physician?) I seriously do not know the correct English term for this. It’s more or less a company/government provided psychologist/doctor who will asses your ability to perform your job. In my case she said it’s clear that for now working isn’t feasible & scheduled a meeting in 3 weeks to asses again then. The doctor was very nice and asked very good questions, brought me to tears within half an hour 🙈. She recommended mindfulness/breathing exercises and a ‘thoughts’ journal ( inthekitty is very wise, not that that is any news over here 😉).

Z’s school had a Christmas boutique at school. I put $20 in the envelope and wrote the names of the 3 people she was buying gifts for. She came home with 3 gifts for herself. 🤣🤣🤣

He came home with crap like erasers and not one single book. He tried to claim all the books left were written in other languages.

Hey guys. Sorry I haven’t been around lately. With the wedding, H’s birthday, illnesses, thanksgiving, the basement and now Christmas I’ve been stretched a little thin. I’ve also been playing a game that has been taking my time up. We are all healthy for the minute. S said one kid threw up in class and a few others said they didn’t feel well today so I’m sure that’ll be hitting my house soon. The basement is so close to being finished, so now I’m furniture shopping, but just started. I think I will wait to really look after Christmas. I have bought all of 5 presents so far, so I’m behind. I did actually get my cards ordered today, so I’ll be working on them whenever I get them from Walgreens. I hope everyone here has been well, I need to go back and catch up on the last couple weeks.
