Hi everyone! My get 'er done is the table decorations for church on Sunday. Very little left to find, assembly will not be hard. Next in line is adding more ugly to the Christmas sweater for wear at payroll on Wednesday.
I had the darndest time finding the clinic yesterday, but once I go there was told no infection (yeah), yes irritation (boo). I was "prescribed" an OTC ear oil that contains garlic and mullein. Used it and it worked nicely. Unfortunately, it also spilled in my purse (leather but cheap), which had to be relegated to the outside trash can. I am stuck with a tote bag right now and must get that changed. It is payday, so at least I can. I need a wallet that does not drop my drivers license also.
Because I had to make 6 dozen cookies for tonight's exchange, DD and I stayed home. She finished her homework first (at least so she says), then went on to the Harry Potter fan fiction. Briggs is now making up for lost time at the food bowl (oink!) and Stratton only yowled once last night and was quickly answered by his buddy. I have gotten all the dance class videos, but now realize I will be out of town that day. Of course, I will be enjoying Mardi Gras, so it is not too bad.
Tonight's orders of business: church cookie exchange and bills and budget. I'm not really a huge cookie eater, preferring crackers, but I like the social aspect. I'm not really much of a desert person at all, my sugar comes in tea. I can take anything I don't want to next week's animal org Christmas party.
Speaking of sugar, I have an idea for the 86 year old grandmothers described by LadyMaverick. There is no way to stop them from wanting to cook special treats for their loved ones. It goes against their nature. However, it is certainly possible to suggest treats he likes better! My xMIL baked pies for any son or daughter-in-law she saw near their birthday. Except me. She learned that what I really liked, more than any desert on the planet is turkey and dressing with gravy. So guess what I got! Totally filled the cooking need and I enjoyed it immensely.
