Thanks, helia! It’s a huge relief! Now we just need to focus on one dx of diabetes instead of multiple ones. Whew!

Good morning, LAnn, Gma.

I weighed, ate breakfast, logged it, assessed the main rooms for pet damage and it’s not too too bad, read from my advent devotional, watched a little news. Now it’s time to get to work. Off to retrieve my list from last week.

That is good news about your df, helia.

Bama, you and your DH must be so relieved.

Boy, what timing for an inspection, Gma. I guess the civil servants have to work right up to the holiday, but it doesn't make it pleasant for you. I hope that it all goes swimmingly.

WTG on getting your Christmas packages mailed, L.Ann.

Hi, trissie. Thank you for starting us off. I hope that you are having a good day at payroll.

I hope that you get enough things done to feel good, Kittykatt, despite your DH being underfoot.

I hope that I haven't missed anyone.

I can't believe that it's afternoon already. Today I'm going to have another go at trying to get my errands done before rush hour starts at three. (We're a government town, so our rush hour starts earlier.)

Inspector has been at the house/ apartment several times. First time he was very thorough (? years ago, he comes every 2 years). Every time since, he has noted that if every landlord was this good, and apartment well kept, his job would not be needed. We chatted mostly about his prostate cancer and radiation treatment that he finished yesterday, and about how it took his family 5 years to go through the farmstead when his mother died on the farm where she was born - as were her parents!
As he left, he said, see you in 2 years!

Nieghbor girl ust graduated from college, so I brought a card over to her house.
Now heading to PO as soon as I print mailing label. Will have to cuop a little later.

Are you receiving radiation, L Ann? I hope the appointment went well, whatever it was for.
That's a lot of packages, Gma. Did you get them all in the mail? I used to mail many packages, but people have passed away (family - aunts and uncles) or we've stopped exchanging gifts (some friends in other states). Yay for a good (and now finished) inspection!
Time goes by quickly, doesn't it, Doggedly.
Good luck with your list, Bama.

Main Goals for Today:
1. 11-12ish KS2J get together
2. Finish dniece's gift - order zoo certificate, wrap
3. Get dniece's gift in the mail
4. Exercise - maybe a long walk since it's so much warmer today
5. EMG appointment, out 2:25 - 5?
6. payroll: make game for class
7. Order gifts for Dh, J12yo, and maybe dd30
8. Get appointment set up for tire
9. Communicate with dh re: dd30's big gift


Next:
- order zoo certificate
- wrap gifts for dniece
- postal place

TaDas!
- up; weighed self - ugh
- coffee
- email deletions; weather website: 20F right now! It feels like a heat wave! And the sun is working to shine through some clouds
- lot of communication re: BG and CG; the elders at the past church have somehow found out that CG is in the hospital. Contact with them would not be helpful and is not welcome. Others have been looped in to help, including presbytery leaders and BG's brother, who is here now with them.
- payroll: last read through of reading exams
- payroll: sent one more invite for exit test
- payroll: let director know I'm going to skip the tour -- which is starting now *sheesh*; also checked in on AC who was not feeling well
- called tire place -- will bring the car in at 8 a.m. on Thursday
- payroll: communication with CM re: my own final exam tweaks
- reclaimed the kitchen
- some qt
- chatted with M - said good bye
- s2s and self care
- squeegeed and wiped shower
- KS2J meeting at J's house - she fed us homemade soup and bread
- home; yogurt

Good afternoon, Dogged. Hope you beat the rush. Our schools let out between 2:30-3:00 and then work ends between 3-5 depending on the employer so we try to avoid driving anywhere close to those times.

Gma, sounds like the inspection went well.

Thanks, helia. You’re making better progress than I am.

I will be addressing Christmas cards this evening, for those expecting one. And if anyone else would like one, just send a pm and I’ll add it to my stack. 🎄💌

Hello Bama! Well done getting things on your list done.
Hi Peaches!

I'm home - and feeling hungry. I think I might eat dinner early. If I need a snack, I can get one tonight - within allotted points.

I'm also home much later than anticipated. This hospital is massive, and it took me longer to get out. Then, I stopped by the postal place and then by TJ. And got home around 5 - and it is becoming dark.

I may go to the gym this evening -- or I might just say that the walking I did in the hospital and around the shopping area (postal place + TJ) are enough for the day and aim for a longer exercise session tomorrow.

Main Goals for Today:
1. 11-12ish KS2J get together
2. Finish dniece's gift - order zoo certificate, wrap
3. Get dniece's gift in the mail

4. Exercise - maybe a long walk since it's so much warmer today
5. EMG appointment, out 2:25 - 5?
6. payroll: make game for class
7. Order gifts for Dh, J12yo, and maybe dd30
8. Get appointment set up for tire
9. Communicate with dh re: dd30's big gift


Next:
- make and eat dinner
- clean up after dinner
- garbage and recycling to the curb

TaDas!
- up; weighed self - ugh
- coffee
- email deletions; weather website: 20F right now! It feels like a heat wave! And the sun is working to shine through some clouds
- lot of communication re: BG and CG; the elders at the past church have somehow found out that CG is in the hospital. Contact with them would not be helpful and is not welcome to them. Others have been looped in to help filter contact, including presbytery leaders (who know about the issues with this church and support BG, the ex-pastor) and BG's brother, who is here now with them.
- payroll: last read through of reading exams
- payroll: sent one more invite for exit test
- payroll: let director know I'm going to skip the tour -- which is starting now *sheesh*; also checked in on AC who was not feeling well
- called tire place -- will bring the car in at 8 a.m. on Thursday
- payroll: communication with CM re: my own final exam tweaks
- reclaimed the kitchen
- some qt
- chatted with M - said good bye
- s2s and self care
- squeegeed and wiped shower
- KS2J meeting at J's house - she fed us homemade soup and bread
- home; yogurt
- payroll: checked with school office re: SS' observation tomorrow
- messaged SS with all info for her observation
- ordered zoo certificate
- wrapped gifts for dniece
- ordered gifts for J12yo
- messaged dh re: dd30's gift - got the green light! Yay!
- packed up everything and found parking at the hospital
- 3-4 EMG test
- postal place: niece's gifts are in the mail
- TJ - looking for some Christmas classic munchies they have to bring to the other hospital for BG and CG + family
- home; text from R - he's coming the 19th not the 18th. :D
