I haven't even cuop yet -- y'all bear with me.
I do have a few
WINS for the day, though --
* laundry completed (so dh can do towels tomorrow)
* cooked supper so maybe dh can get his weight back under control -- we've been eating out waaay too much lately!
* notified ass't living that dmom will be leaving tomorrow
* dmom's groceries bought and refrigerator cleaned out (so dmom can come home tomorrow and won't poison herself with out of date food!)
* also delivered some of dmom's stuff to her house, including the wrapped presents which she will give dgrands and all her files for 2018
* bought ornament for dgd -- apparently I did not order the one I really wanted, which I can't even remember now, so Hello Kitty will have to do.
* ordered bar-b-que for Christmas w/dbil etc on Christmas Eve
LOSSES for the day... * sigh *
* DS's picture frame arrived at Wmart (for the theater poster I'm giving him for Christmas) UNFORTUNATELY, it arrived at a Wmart in CALIFORNIA.
I am completely on the other side of the country from California. I have NO IDEA how this happened. Girl at Wmart got that cancelled for me, and I have re-ordered, and it
should arrive "by 6:00 pm" on Christmas Eve.
So... got some anticipation going here, right?
OTOH -- dgs's ornament, which IS perfect for him, is coming from China and may not get here till Jan. 11.
AND... I FINALLY found the dvd dmom has been asking for for YEARS -- Mayerling. (It stars Omar Sharif.) Guess where IT is coming from? GREECE.
Lots of anticipation going on here... * Another loss for the day -- dh has my sore throat crud, and he can't even take a steroid shot, so he is very depressed about the weekend trip coming up...
* Our college team lost in a grand style -- 10 points, maybe? -- to one of the teams in
Harriet's state. I can never remember which team
Harriet's family pulls for. I must have a mental block where this is concerned. This team we lost to has STATE in their name. DH is also very depressed about this. LOL... he says it's a good thing our tickets to a future game sold on S tubhub today, b/c they certainly wouldn't be selling tomorrow.
Well, looks like the wins outnumber the losses, so I guess I'm doing okay. And I am feeling better. The shot did not keep me awake (possibly because I took some Nyquil?) so I got a good night's sleep, and I gargled with warm salt water, which feels soooo good while I'm doing it, but you know, you can't just stand there and gargle all night long... and I took a nap -- and some Aleve -- this afternoon when I started feeling tired and achy again.
Thinking of you ALL!
