SHEs Organized

helia, I knew it! I love skiing, but quite frankly, leave me in the bar with a bombardino and I'll be a happy camper! Re my job, I started as an admin worker so the salary for was part time admin (I really was desperate and it was during covid and anything part time seemed like a win) and I quickly raised up the ranks to be a key personnel and even if it is stressfull and certainly no longer part time, I love it. But I loved more time for me and my family too!

Good morning everyone.
My brain is all over the place today after a lazy weekend and it shows. Elderly friend has already called and I avoided bc I have to talk loud so she can hear and I’m not very social yet. She probably wants me to help get her Christmas decor out of her multiple sheds. I totally forgot about a lunch date with my brother so asked for a rain check. He would have to wait an hour for me to get ready, let the dogs out, and drive there so it’s not worth it to scramble now. I wonder what else I’ve forgotten about today that will end up biting me…
Need a list in the worst way.
And happy December!
I’m off to redo my list from yesterday, adjust where necessary and get moving.

It is a nonthinking dinner choice, Trissie. When I need a chicken recipe and don’t want to think I throw it in. My energy really starts flagging at about 5 so I am trying to keep dinners simple.

4-walk

Like a bad penny or a good boomerang, I'm baaaaaack...
Are we in La Nina? Does anyone know? We have just barely dipped our toe into December and the windchill was -10C when I woke up. This doesn't look good for Germane getting outside any time soon.

Kittykatt, it sounds like you have the procedure for critiquing down pat. Not "try to mention God at least once in your sermon", but "we would enjoy even more mentions of God in your sermons"...

helia, finishing with your dmother's laundry is a milestone. Be kind to yourself, if you need time to slow down and process it.

Hi, Smile*Lee.

Did Little Bit enjoy helping put the decorations on the tree, L.Ann? I'll bet the dog gave you a hero's welcome.

trissie, I would say that db and I are both mammal people, and that he is a bird person as well. He is just more handicapped than I am. He can't walk a dog, and he goes into the hospital for days at a time. He had really wanted a Labrador retriever, but was realistic enough to recognize that he couldn't meet its needs. His bff can care for his cat while he's away, and he can play with his cat enough to exercise it.

helia, those banking apps can be so annoying to deal with when they act up. Actually, they can be pretty annoying even when they are functioning as designed.


Bama, I'm looking at your southern tomato gravy recipe and thinking what a great thing it would be for pot lucks. With one simple tweak, it would be vegan and halal. The only people still excluded would be the gluten-free crowd.
I'm sorry about your missed lunch date. Is the rain check for soon?

a cat sounds like a really good animal companion for your DBro under these circumstances, Dogged!
L.Ann, we all have our go-to easy recipes
Bama, there's good days, there's bad days, and than there's the other days! Good luck on overcoming it today!

Yep trissie, it’s an “other day”. Is your house Christmas ready with the daily challenge?

Dogged, idk about La Niña but the weather is all loopy here, freezing a week ago, shorts weather for a week, rainy and getting cooler today, warming trend for end of the week. Whee! Hot cold hot cold . You could add or subtract from the tomato gravy and make it your own base for any type meal.
