I don't think of tahini as a sweet sort of condiment, trissie. I guess since it is sesame based, it would bring a nutty flavor. I enjoy tahini sauce with Middle Eastern food. Interesting! I hope your day at payroll is going well.
Is this a new pup, kitkat? How old is she? Looks like you're doing some taxiing around today. WTG getting to the gym. Are you getting snow as well?
I hope the appointments bring good news, Harriet! Stay warm!
Glad you're through the vet appointment, Kitty.

It is currently snowing. We're forecast to get 4 more inches today. I don't remember ever having this much snow so early. ☃️ I guess it's going to be one of those winters. We've had several mild ones so maybe it's due.

Today: The KS2J get together has been moved to 1 pm which gives me a free morning but means my afternoon is scheduled 1-4 with my work out session at 3. Other things I'd like to accomplish: laundry, Memorial thank you progress, grading my midterm tests, taking care of groceries - a short trip to WF and an order from Kroger, perhaps getting more yarn for another knitting project, and picking up the dry cleaning - it's near the gym so I can stop by on my way home. Walking as well as the work out would be great - but I'm not sure how feasible it would be.

Next:
- some qt
- back exercises
- s2s and self care

Later:
- make the bed
- update toodledo, notebook, and SF lists
- reclaim the kitchen
- WF list
- WF errand
- put away WF purchases
- Kroger order
- Memorial thank yous progress: 1 2 3
- make eye appointment
- progress on Christmas - figure out dh's gift to order?
- payroll: grade midterm tests
- payroll: AR exam draft ready

- 3-4 work out with AS
- p/u dry cleaning
- darks: w d f pa
- lights: w d f pa
- towels: w d f pa
- dinner: on my own - TBD

Good morning L.Ann. I am waiting for a lawyer to get some things done, too. :roll:

Helia, what knitting are you doing?

Good morning ~ trissie ~ kitty ~ Harriet ~ Gma ~ helia ~ L.Ann ~ kit!

trissie ~ haven't heard of tahini cookies. I'm going to have to hunt some down.
helia ~ growing up in Michigan, it was rare for NOT to have a good ground cover of snow before Christmas - and then lasting till spring with a few thaws here and there. There's one here, too. Been a long time since we've seen one that's hung around this long. It'll probably disappear today or tomorrow - highs up near 40.
Harriet ~ oo... waiting for lawyers.. hope you get a good outcome.
kit ~ lucky DGD's! pancakes.. yum!

Yesterday was a "corral the house" & "TLC me" day. Got all the house tasks done. There are some laundry stragglers. I had rehab AND a massage. I went way too long between appointments this time. Neck is feeling some relief- so on with the show!

QT, physio, & quick spiff done this morning.

Today's short list:
• 11 - townhouse - meet contractor and demo guy
• sandwich gym between
• 2 - townhouse - meet painter for estimate
• Holt Supply - try out free standing tubs & measure
• home
----- pick out light above tub
----- finish up Xmas shopping online
----- I'll need food....

Hi Smile*lee. I am hoping the paper I need for the lawyer shows up in the mail today, Harriet. Otherwise I need to call the investment account for my mom’s estate and try to get them to send it again.

So interesting Smile! That means the snow patterns in Michigan have changed over the decades. We've been here for 24 years. Nothing is going to melt here for the foreseeable future. Highs are staying below freezing with more snow forecast for Saturday. ❄️
Harriet, I'm hoping to knit a "baby bag" for little I, but she might outgrow it by the time I get it finished -- unless I can do some marathon knitting over the holiday.
Harriet and L Ann, I'm waiting on the trustee to respond to the lawyer (and me) to get some things done. :roll: Still no word from her. It's almost like she fell off the planet. :?
WTG getting in your walk L Ann. I see you did it inside. I hope that paper shows up. It's concerning when the mail takes so long. I had that panic re: some checks I put in the mail a few weeks ago. At least one has now landed, so that's good.

More done but moving slowly though time is moving quickly. No response from S2 and J yet about my hosting; K is out - she has to do something for her accountant.

Next:
- make the bed

☀️A late good morning to you all.
Dd1 visited this past weekend and threw me way off of my routines. I didn’t get to sleep until 5am for no particular reason so I’m not starting off well. Jumping in with both feet. I’ve already ignored 3 phone calls from people wanting me to do something and need to hurry myself up a little so I can call them back and be my cheerful self while I agree to do whatever it is they ask. 2 want the same thing, pw of my mothers that I have to dig for, the other is hard of hearing so it will be a one sided call where I just make a sound occasionally but she may want me to take her somewhere, it’s cold and I’m hibernating so idonwanna. Enough whining. Let’s go!

Happy Tuesday!
I'm jumping in where I am, and I'll try to check up on posts later.

Due to ugly family drama (not my DH or kids) that started at 7pm last night, my evening just went poof. Would it be too much to ask for normal drama-less Christmas for once? No? Well it never hurts asking, right? :-)
Setting my timer for a :30 to start with, be back then!

helia - pup is now a year and a half old.. so "almost" grown up:) She is a lovely lab with lab energy and love. (I think you had your share of that?)
Bama! - there you are! Good to see you. I understand "Idon'twanna" ... but now, I "haveto", whether I want to or not:)
Harriet - nice to 'meet' you:) I might check out Post When You Can... when I have more time.
trissie - I think every family has it's own share of drama...

Little Bit informed her mom that Santa knew what she wanted for Christmas so she didn’t need to tell her mom, Trissie. This time of year is always interesting. Hi KitKat, you had a busy morning. Hi bama. I am waiting for a paper from one of mom’s investment accounts, helia. It has been the account from h***. It is the only one where things haven’t gone smoothly… partly due to a mistake mom made and partly due to the fact that the company has always been difficult to deal with.
